Ive lost faith in japanese rpgs. Didnt like lost odyssey, blue dragon, infinite undiscovery. White knight got an average score at famitsu. What now. Star Ocean is really the last hope.

If you actually saw White Knight Chronicles you will now its the best JRPG at the moment.

FAMI Gave MAss Effect 11/40

The Chinese and Japanese players where saying how good it is and how did FAMI gives 27/40 (Yes I can read little Chinese and Japanese) and the player streaming it (and finished the game....he didn't stop playing. 30 hours straight exlcuding every time he dies because the game reset timer when you die from last save point) main story only. He rates is 9/10 and said its best JRPG on current consoles.

He also said next streaming will be Yakuza 3 followed by FFXIII Demo in March

To whom clicked disagree. 遅延アメリカ

star ocean is a AJRPG. and thus has more issues then a turned based anything. also Just FYI theres alot of really good JRPG for the ps3 and 360, that will never make it state side, i saw some really sweet trailers for some when i went on my jap 360 account.

but i know SO4 will be worth my while. same for 13, and if i have to ill just go pick up a old ps2, and play some of the rpgs ive missed over the past 2 years.

Star Ocean is real time combat and Star Ocean 3 was medicore. It was very big (2 DVD9 that old 8.7 GB each, not 6.4GB) but it got too boring and they kept sretching the story too much.

lol NaiNaiNai got pwned, he expected Gun_Senshi to be lying hahahah

on topic - I liked Lost Odyssey from Mistwalker, so I was looking forward to this game. Though I didn't even like the look of Blue Dragon, but I'm guessing they will make BD2 because it is more recognisable (especially in Japan cos of the anime)

I remember Sakaguchi discussing the topic of the game, saying he wanted to create a game that could force you to cry, be it through sadness or happiness, trying to get you to feel massive emotion every 30 or so minutes.

It sounded amazingly interesting and would of loved to see some form of outcome. I hope this news is false.

haha whatsup man. Yeah, It would be a shame if this news is true. Anyway, if this game is in fact cancelled, I'm pretty sure Sakaguchi's next project will still retain the same emotional impact as Cry-On.

They were not cancelled totally, just that the team working on them have been assigned to work on something else now.

The Getaway 3 will definatly come, maybe towards the end of this gen but it'll come. The franchise was very sucessful on the PS2 and would be silly not to make a sequel.

Actually, sales had nothing to do with it.

It was development.

We hadn't seen gameplay footage of it at all (i think), no trailers, no footage, nout. Just that development was in progress and concept art.

Development was lagging behind so they had no choice to cancel.

Sales had nothing to do with it.

3.6 - the same sources that you listed
has said that C&C:Red alert 3 was canceled for ps3, but 2 month ago EA announced a ps3 version again, which will use the capability of the PS3 and BLU-ray

EDIT: DANJA you are right here are some PHantom disagrees^^

3.7 - Hmm
Well i'm not sure then, just that because a few weeks ago there was an interview with a producer at one of sonys internal studios and they asked them their thoughts on the cancelling on those two games, they said that the getaway will almost certainly will be re-started at a later date.

It is their job to officially deny things like this, they do it all the time - like said above, look at the C&C they flat out denied that a good few times before saying it is in development.

I actually didn't like Lost Odyssey. I felt like the main character was the most boring one I have ever played with. I didn't get past the first disc.

Too bad, but i am sure they are working on other projects too, one of them being Blue Dragon 2, i am curious to see how much the Blue dragon team has improved since their previous title.

Also i suppose the team that worked on Lost Odyssey works on something...

I agree, Alot of the Dev's say with the economic situation that they are canceling or are not going to make alot of new Ip's and concentrate on sequels of what has already worked.

I was really looking forward to the next Mistwalker project. Their RPG's thus far haven't been exceptional, but they have been solid and very enjoyable.

11 - Wonder why its cancelled
was it funding? But,you guys. . .it might be nothing. . .but Im totally throwing an idea out here.Maybe they want to buy the White Engine from SE to make a new I.P . . .cant see why SE would sell it to them,but,if Lost Oddessy used the Unreal Engine,their in the market of making games with other companies game engines.I hope MSFT didnt cut funding in any shape or form.

For a Company like MS that is looking to beef up it's rpg status, they are sure as hell cancelling or have a lot of them MIA right now.

MarvelOnline: Canned
FantasyOnline: Canned
Huxely: MIA
Boarderlands: MIA
Dragon BallZOnline: MIA
Conan: MIA
RPG with the weird name (Can't think of it right now) Canned
Final Fantasy XIII in Japan: MIA for now
Project Offset: (Not sure which way this game is going to but it was mention for PS3,360 and PC the last I heard before had no publisher) MIA for now. And who knows what others have been canned or gone MIA.

This is sad news because I really liked the idea for this game. I had a sick feeling this might happen because there has been no news on this game. But I really hoped it would not happen. I wonder what Mistwalker is up to making now instead of this game.
