SwordBreaker Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 http://newrpg.sega.jp/ Looks like a ship's steering wheel, don't you think? What else could it be? If it turns out to be a sequel to Skies come August 20th, a lot of fans are going to be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Possible, but I recall a friend of mine mentioning that the person behind the Phantasy Star RPGs (who was also behind Skies) was starting development on a totally new RPG project. This may be it. But the silhouette of the girl does bear a passing resemblance to Fina, at least... So you might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt E. Waldman Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Haha, looks more like "Stars of Arcadia" to me. But still, this looks promising! Here's to hoping there's a sequel in the works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 If there's any justice left in this world, it'll be Phantasy Star V (Phantasy Earth as it was nick named back in the day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Flintlock Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 If there's any justice left in this world, it'll be Phantasy Star V (Phantasy Earth as it was nick named back in the day). Is it wrong that I'd be tons more excited for news like this instead of another Final Fantasy title. Seriously, a legit Phantasy Star game (not ragging on PSO or anything, but I'd like to say I think the ship's sailed a little while ago with that one) would make me one of the happiest people in the world. Although a sequel to Skies of Arcadia would be pretty nice too....But PSV would be the greatest announcement I've come across this year since....that epic mickey stuffage.

SynthesizedStampede Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Eh, if it truly is a Skies sequel I'd feel a mixture of both fear and excitement: excited that a sequel IS being made to such a fantastic game, but scared that they're going to mess it up. Reason being that NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (I haven't played it, however) seems to have been messed up from the original formula in that you have to take more effort into avoiding the bird (rather than the solitary Ideya Capture) to get any massive links. While I love sequels to games I love, I won't love them if they're not done right. Unfortunately, however, I fear Skies did what it did TOO right. There's an article floating around somewhoere on Edge or something about why Skies was so lovable and awesome despite it not really revolutionizing everything. The article was on point though and really emphasized things that Skies did that really set it apart from other JRPGs: one namely was the whole "you're actually discovering a world and developing your character and story" and whatnot. Besides other RPGs where you just level up your character, the whole building a crew, discovering new parts of the world, and ability to break the bounds of that existed in 70% of the game (high/deep sky) really is one thing Skies did right. Awwww man Skies is so awesome . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajax Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hmm, to somewhat bump this topic, it seems that the silhouette has changed on the teaser site... Looks like some guy wielding some sort of ridiculously large JRPG weapon. Additionally, I dont remember if they had a date posted before, or if this is a new development. Well I suppose I'll be checking up on this in four days or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 If it is a Skies of Arcadia sequel then I better go dust off the Dreamcast and go and finish that game. Dropped into the pile of games I've never finished for one reason or another a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inimitable Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I've been looking for an excuse to play Skies again. Hopefully this is it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've seen various people claim that this is just a website for an already sort-of-confirmed Phantasy Star Zero 2. I don't know how legit that rumor is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm really hoping that turning wheel is a navigational wheel for a ship... And I just wish Sega would make a full sequel to Valkyria Chronicles already (not that weird portable version... which I'd probably buy anyway) and porting the Yakuza series..

Dunnowhathuh Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 And I just wish Sega would make a full sequel to Valkyria Chronicles already (not that weird portable version... which I'd probably buy anyway) I second that notion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I believe it's a Phantasy Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I believe it's a Phantasy Star. I saw the news yesterday and immediately assumed that was correct, but I had only seen the news; no scans. This scan has people with the same outlines, so... yeah, pretty much confirmed. A little disappointing, but not unexpected. Portable 1 sold like gangbusters in Japan, and it's only real failure to becoming a true Monster Hunter threat (lol, as if) was that it only had adhoc multiplayer and not online, which this sequel seems to fix.

Ajax Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well it's official now. Link now redirects to here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well that's disappointing. They have to know that people want SoA 2 with that spinning wheel teaser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynthesizedStampede Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Both disappointed and relieved. Gah, just re-release Skies of Arcadia Legends (lol Skies of Arcadia: Legends' Legend) with clearer sound, current-gen graphics, all the DC mini-quests, and a SoA OST pre-order bonus (so basically a full-fledged remake), and I would've been happy.

I-n-j-i-n Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Someone tell Sega to fucking stop it with the PSP ports and get working on full fledges PS3/Xbox games. I swear those portables are eating into the bottom line of home console games now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
