Phil Spencer hinting towards New JRPG for the Xbox One?

Phil Spencer took to twitter to slightly confirm the rumors regarding new JRPG's coming to the Xbox One. One fan asked him if there was any credence to the rumors of a new Sakaguchi RPG, and his reply was "Tuesday". Could we see a new Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey game coming to the Xbox One? Let's see.

[megazero12]

a new Sakaguchi RPG would just be amazing!

LO2 and i will cry.

[ritsuka666]

Lost Odyssey 2 or something similar and i would probably buy an Xbone.

[vishmarx]

BE LO2 and I WILL actually buy an xbox.
this + Quantum Break
enough to certify a crazy idiot purchase!!!
$500 down the crapper if true

gawwdddang sony where the jrpgs at?
all that launch had were girls ,and wierd girls

EDIT:that almost confirms sakaguchi is making sumthn for xb1 WTH
im super happy and royally pissed at the same time

[Letthewookiewin]

If the X1 comes out with some fantastic JRPGs that I can only have on that system I will buy an X1 and by then I can almost guarantee it will be cheaper. I win.

[nealane]

I'm so glad i brought both consoles i really liked lost odessy and would love to see a sequel at the moment ps4 is my system of choice and thers nothing to play on xb1 now that tf but if LO2 is announced then it will go nicely with gears of war titan fall, halo 5 and quantum break

[FamilyGuy]

By the time it's released the X1 will probably have had a price drop too.

I highly doubt it'll be LO2 though, most likely a new IP.

[ps360s]

if it is I will buy the xbox one...I love Lost Odyssey

one of the main reasons I bought a xbox 360 for plus Gears and Halo lol

why the disagree?

[Elit3Nick]

This is N4G, remember?

[combatcash]

I have been waiting for LO2 for a lifetime lol, would definitely pick up and xbox one for that game.

[Magicite]

Wow and exclusive JRPG for X1? Thats something!
X360 had like 2?

That would be a nice addition, but definitely not a console seller, since MS consoles were always aimed for FPS genre.

[Hicken]

No, there were quite a few for 360. The two big ones were Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon... and Tales of Vesperia, though it was not an exclusive in Japan. ATLUS made quite a few smaller titles for the console, though.

Still, I'd definitely have to reconsider if this turned out to be Lost Odyssey 2.

[hkgamer]

not a console seller, but im sure mistwalker or sakaguchi fans wil buy a console just for those games.

i would buy a xbone just for that and im not even that big of a fan

off topic, is mistwalker still around?

[DiRtY]

There were some exclusive JRPGs for the 360

Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia (outside Japan), Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, Star Ocean (1 year exlcusivity), Magna Carta II and maybe some others as well.

[LexHazard79]

@hicken

You must really like Lost Odyssey if it would make you consider an XB1 purchase. Lost Odyssey did make quite an impression and a lasting one at that with gamers! Lets hope Blue Dragon gets some love too.

[hkgamer]

dont care if it isnt lost oddyssey 2... as long as inoue takehiko is doing the character arts im in.

one of my favourite mangaka.

would definitely buy an xbone just for that game.

[kewlkat007]

LO2..needs to happen.

[HystericalGamez]

This is HUGE. If Lost Odyssey 2 is announced as an Xbox One Exclusive, that'll be one of the first Hard hits for the PS4 coming from Microsoft. That would DEFINITELY be a Console Seller.

[gameon1985]

"If Lost Odyssey 2 is announced as an Xbox One Exclusive" There isn't a question about it being exclusive seeing how Microsoft owns the ip. The question is will it be announced.

[HystericalGamez]

Microsoft could benefit slightly from releasing it as a Multiplat, much like how Square is releasing KHIII and FFXV on the Xbox One, and how NBG released Tales of Vesperia for the 360.

Different circumstances, but yeah. This is still REALLY great for the Xbox.

[BABYLEG]

^^^is this guy serious?

[hkgamer]

@ hysterical
you trolling?

[majiebeast]

Lol the game didnt even hit a million sold and barely 100k in Japan, what a hard hit against PS4... It has a cult following just like Bayonetta and Platinum Games in general. FFXV or KH3 exclusive would be a hit this is barely a poke.

@Megaton

The delusion is hitting hard on GAF, im still laughing at the guy who called Kojima a lazy developer and that he is a Sony fanboy.

[Megaton]

I know, right? Guy jokes on Twitter in a response to NeoGAF's most delusional Xbox fan. Xboners rally around it as a confirmation that Lost Odyssey 2 is not only coming, but that the relatively unknown and poor-selling franchise will turn it all around for Microsoft and crush the PS4. Desperate times indeed.

[vishmarx]

new ip vs 20yr old IP?
thats fair i suppose

[HystericalGamez]

The game has a very dedicated fanbase. That gets people talking and Generates buss for the game. Ontop of that, Microsoft needs something like this. It isn't about it selling well in Japan, it also needs to sell well in the US and EU territories. Xbox one has no chance to win over the Japanese region, but they need to do all that they can to atleast appeal to fans with games where Resolution won't matter.

Its a JRPG, i'm sure people won't be heartbroken if the game is 900p and 60FPS. It'll still be one of the most Beautiful Games of its Genre when it launches.

Until FFXV launches on PS4.

[Aces17]

Do you think JRPG don't appeal to people outside of Japan? There are more reasons for this other than just Japanese fans.

[-Foxtrot]

If it IS Lost Odyssey 2...then despite being an amazing announcement since I loved the first game it does make me ask just one question

Why the hell did the guy want to develop for the Xbox again when JRPGs do poorley on that console. LO didn't deserve that at all

[LexHazard79]

@Foxtrot,

Dude does it really matter what dev wants to work on Xbox? It could be Sakaguchi and MS have great relationship. MS helped fund Mistwalker, and who doesnt want to make money?! Whatever it is Xbox gamers should be happy for some JRPG love on XB1.

[LexHazard79]

Lol.....bwahhhahahahha! I would sure hope so! They own it!

[gameon1985]

Yesterday I think it was, he said something about he like what there first party studios in japan are doing. STUDIOS plural, exactly how many studios do they have in japan? I know Phil said from his own mouth that Oska studios I think it was wasn't real, but that could be taking the same way he said gears has ran its course. We all seen how that turned out.

[majiebeast]

0 its probably second party. Osaka studio doesnt exist.

[gameon1985]

He said first party not second, but seeing how it's no secret you are a Sony fan boy Why in the hell are you responding to my question about Microsoft any ways? Nothing you say about Microsoft will ever be taking seriously.

[majiebeast]

Wow so mad, did i put your panties in a twist little girl? Dont cry im sure the xbone will sell 2 consoles in Japan.

[LexHazard79]

You PS fanboys suck _ _ _ _! An Xbox One article and Xbox gamers cant even comment without a hard time from you fucks. Comment after comment with more disagrees than likes. Obviously you guys are out in full force when anything good comes MS way! You have the most powerful console yet you spend more time trolling than playing actual games! Smh....

[rainslacker]

Here's a list of all MS production studios. It also list 2nd party partners, such as Mistwalker. It is a listing of all studios around the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

So in answer to your question, MS has 0 first party studios in Japan. Phil could have been talking about a contracted company in Japan making an Xbox game, possibly the Osaka studios, or he could have been talking about one of it's 2nd party partners, or he could have been blowing smoke.

I know it sucks hearing an answer from a PS fan, such as myself, but it is what it is. Please don't jump down my throat because you don't like the answer.

Edit: If you wish to discuss further, the only 2nd party on that list based on Osaka, Japan is Access Games, which apparently do have a X1 game in developerment, D4. They're known to make some pretty decent games.

[koliosis]

MEGATON!!!!

[jdktech2010]

Holy....I think the first Lost Odyssey was one of the best games of last generation. I would love to see a Lost Odyssey 2.

Going to be refreshing a lot on Tuesday.

[maniacmayhem]

It has to be Lost Odyssey 2! I mean I wouldn't mind it being a brand new IP but in all seriousness I would love it even more if they would announce Lost Odyssey 2.

[truefan1]

Keep quietly working MSFT, Phil Spencer is bringing the games.

[Dark11]

MS are going for exclusive JRPG's ..Good ;)

[The_G3n3r4l]

Whatever it is, i cant wait to see it!

[hello12]

Biggest LAN tournament for gears 3 is on now. Just started. What to see how exciting Gears can be Sony fans, watch this. Another great game being brought back by Phil.

http://www.twitch.tv/hypefe...

Keep bringing more games to x box Phil.

[HystericalGamez]

I know some Sony Fanboy's. All of them can still admit that Gears 3 is one of the best games on Xbox 360. The game is ridiiiiculously well done and fun, and however Judgement ruined all of that.

[LAWSON72]

LO2 or Sakaguchi game and I will run to the store day one and buy a Xbone

[tiffac008]

Come on Lost Odyssey 2! :D

[C_Ali88]

Will it really help Microsoft in Japan? Considering Lost Odyssey sold the bulk of its numbers in the US, is this really a smart move? The game also never breached 1 million units sold. The investment in JRPGS for Microsoft could be devastatingly misguided.

[hkgamer]

well thats probably almost 1 milion extra xbox sold.

but theres a few reasons for exclusives.

1. only on that cnsole. therefore people deciding to buy one cnsole would have to choose.

2. library of games. gamers like to have a wide range of games on their console.

3. marketing

[Godmars290]

It would probably be a mistake for Mistwalker to do an XB1-only title.

Know Sakaguchi has issues with Sony, Kazuo Hirai who's only gone up in the company, but the Xbox brand is dead there. And Western sales of his 360, or Wii games, wheren't all that hot either.

[ELpork]

If they gave the story it's proper due this time around, a new Lost Odyssey would be killer as HELL! I loved the story stuff in the first one, the only problem was getting at it.

[DoesUs]

This will sell MILLIONS of XB1's To be clear, it won't sell millions of XB1's.

[ELpork]

....How do you put a period at the end of your sentience, but not in the middle of it?...

[Mikey94]

God Damn XBOX is the real place to play. The true gaming console. All you ever hear is a new game almost every month.

Quantum Break
D4
Sunset overdrive
Project spark
Gears of War
Halo
Etc...

Buy a xbox is you enjoy real games. Buy a Playstation if you enjoy indies. Resogun, flower.

[WeAreLegion]

How have you not been banned from the site?

[LAWSON72]

If this guy gets banned how about also the PS4 fanboys posting Greatness Awaits and a list of games that are not even announced

[LexHazard79]

This guy is the least of our worries! Wait arent you a PS fanboy?!

[Max-Zorin]

We ask the same thing about Maria, George, Belking, and the most wanted list goes on.

[gamer2013]

Yeah he's a troll but no different than the other trolls posting here in a pro X1 article who don't ever plan on getting an X1.

[hkgamer]

doesnt playstation have both, indie and exclusives?

only problem ps4 has atm is that sony was stubborn with ps3 and let exclusives be released in the dying years whilst ms was concentrating on xbone quite a number of years behind.

[DoesUs]

because, i! forgot...., !......().

[Gr1mmyshadows]

Lost Odyssey was amazing and another LO would make me love my XB1 even more than i do already

[Chrono]

It looks like he's kidding.

[WeAreLegion]

He makes incredible games, but they deserve better sales. They won't see that on an Xbox. Japan will avoid it.

[bluem00se]

A new Lost Odyssey exclusive to Xbox would be a bigger system seller for me than Titanfall... Fingers crossed

[LAWSON72]

The problem is the thousands of people buying Titanfall would probably disagree with you

[Nero1314]

Lol so true

[Darkfist]

but it doesn't have multiplayer

[jegheist2014]

i hate microsoft xbox period if its lost oddyssey 2 i would run n buy 1 its only game i played owning 360 before selling it 2 years later

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

As a sony fan but also a gamer I do love some Xbox games like halo gears fable this if true is good for Microsoft to start branching out some more a LO2 would be great as I enjoyed the first one

[gamer7804]

awesome, i hope its something new, and not a sequel to anything.

[TheRedButterfly]

> ^ < YESSSSS!!! Can't wait! JRPGs never hit Xbox, so I'll be all about this!!!

[Luke_fon_Fabre]

I HIGHLY doubt this is true. Isn't the XBO not even out in Japan? And what's the particular interest in the term JRPG? Are RPGs particularly worse/better/different when they're made by a Japanese company? I miss when people just called them all RPGs.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Pure BS Sakaguchi last game was last story he isnt gonna make games anymore i think

[urwifeminder]

Only made it to disc 3 and got stuck so I quit in lost odyssey but it was kind of interesting , I rarely finish single player games but enjoyed LO until I got stuck.
