Can only lead to disappointment.



Should we really be expecting Lost Odyssey 2?



(annoying question alert!)


What time is this in EST?

Maybe not, but we should expect some suprises. I doubt that Microsoft would hold a press conference entirely dedicated to NN2 and Magna Carta...

Probably not. It wouldn't be out of the question to hope for something new from Mistwalker, but Blue Dragon 2 is much more likely seeing as it was actually hinted at being in the early stages of development about a year or two ago.

But yeah, other than that I'm expecting to be disappointed, and anyone who expects anything including the words Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter or Metal Gear should prepare for disappointment as well.



as a Ps3 fan , i think i will be deeply frustrated :( , just like last year
