PSUNews: "In an interview with 1up.com, Game Republic founder Yoshiki Okamoto confirmed that the Folklore IP is dead and that there are no plans for a sequel.

"Unfortunately, we're not making a sequel for either of those games [Folklore and Brave Story]," Okamoto said. "We had talked about a PSP version for Folklore, but we've since ceased those discussions. It makes me a little sad, but that's just the way it is."

Both Folklore and Brave Story received high remarks from many media outlets however due to poor sales, Game Republic decided not to continue the franchises. Too bad."

Well, Folklore was my first ever PS3 game i ever bought so this kinda makes me sad a little bit, it was a great action rpg that was sadly overlooked, just like Chaos legion in the PS2 days. *sigh*

i thought about getting this when i first got my ps3... every time i see it i still consider buying it...

... its ashame that it was over looked as i heard it was pretty good. but can it really be called a franchise after only one game? or are there more that i dont know about?

Good riddance, I say. It was just a- *breaks into fits of sobbing*

WHY?!

Someone should post the original article from 1UP. It's the most hilarious interview I've ever read.

Brave Story was a PSP spin off so, yes its a small and weak franchise. :(

Poor Folklore, it was a neat story. Unfortunately the game needed a better leveling system, and less repetitive battle mechanics.

Folklore was overlooked game hopefully game republic will make games that sell better

it was too gimmicky and the story wasn't so good.

Yeah, if they added more Action battle tactis like a reaction comman such as Crisis Cores Style or hell if KH2's style it would have been more innovative.

Or maybe user generated folks. now THAT would have owned.

This is truly a shame. I hadn't realized how poor the sales were for Folklore. It was also my first PS3 game purchase and is really quite good.
