Future MW games can be multi if they find a 3rd party publisher to fund them and provide a development team. As Mistwalker technically didnt develop any games.

 

Would be awsome but who would pick them up? Definatly not SE lol

   They made several DS games for AQ interactive. But it appears this publisher is too small to fund an HD game, they were supposed to publish Cry On which got canned, most likely due to the lack of resources.

   I can only think of Sega, they seem to have an interest in the genre as of late.

Sounds like a good choice to me. Sega has really gained some ground this gen compared to last. Making future games multi would be a good choice unless they are sure that any one game can sell well on one platform. Seems like Sega likes to hop around platform to platform when it comes to exclusives though. lol

Of course he's happy. He has his own studio and more or less can do whatever he wants. Lost Odyssey was a success and Blue Dragon was a success in Japan, so he can rest assured that the offers will continue to come.

 And he also can rest assured that the projects he has been working on for 2 years wont get canned.

   Oh wait!

   Their DS games have all failed and MS's conference in Japan has just ended and nothing from MW was announced. Mistwalker has to find a publisher to fund their games (something better than AQ interactive), otherwise they are in troubles.

Sakaguchi is definitely more happy. Less successful, yeah. But success doesn't mean happiness. As many have said, there's a reason he left in the first place.

No S-E doesn't deserve to get him back.

@ Darth. Mistwalker is his own company. I'm sure he is much more happy having full freedom. And if the rate FF's are declining in quality is anything to go by, then I'm sure he definately prefers it on his own. He will make sure Lost Odyssey is graphically and gameplay top dog. I personally think Mistwalker was a breath of fresh air in the stale that is SE. :)

This is one of the most retarded arguments I've ever seen.

You're all projecting your own wants onto a man you've never even met.

If it wasn't for the "Is MS paying devs for better 360 versions of multiplats" thread. This would be the most ridiculous thread I've read on VGC in months.
