Skies of arcadia is one of the best JRPGs i have ever played , hope sega consider making a sequel.

@immortal84: I agree, I probably should re-buy it again since I loaned it to a friend in the past and haven't seen it since then. Hopefully Gamestop has it.

@Spoony: Is it? Looks like I'll have to borrow my mother's DS now :/

Square soft before they came square-enix used to deliver a ton of quality games during ps1 & ps2 era,so there is something wrong. They are the main company responsible for the downside of jrpgs nowdays.

Square-Enix is one lazy company,all they are doing is porting remakes from there best games in the past.

Regarding Chrono Trigger/Chrono cross 890k is enough to justify a sequel, peoples are sick of remakes give us something new.

I just listed a bunch of their best portable titles and none of them are remakes or ports. Then there's stuff like Ring of Fates, Chocobo Tales, Chocobo's Dungeon, Children of Mana, Heroes of Mana, Mario Basketball, Valkyrie Profile: CotP, Revenant Wings, Tactics A2 and that's just the DS.

They do release a lot of ports and remakes but they've also released a lot of original games this gen.

Chrono Trigger has released 3 times in 14 years. Once on the SNES the original version and then on the PS1(which was garbage and was capatialising on their new found popularity) and then on the DS which mixed the best of both.

Now 890K is better than all the HD JRPGs released right now but FFXIII and Versus should do better than that. However FFXIII and Versus have massive budgets and the AAA teams working on them. Would you rather have a Chrono game with the budget of The Last Remnant or Final Fantasy XIII? Who would you expect to work on it, Kitase(FFXIII), Tokita(FF Gaiden) or Takai(The Last Remnant)? Would you want it on home consoles or portables?

Because with those sales it would either have to be a relatively low budget titles(like the HD JRPGs so far have been) or a portable title to make a profit. Also we'd expect SE's A Team to work a new Chrono game but they're currently working on other big porjects that are guarenteed to sell(like FFXIII).

OverWorks is the same company that developed skies of arcadia and Valkyria Chronicles

Parasite Eve 3 was announced for mobiles BUT they changed tack as it was going so well and started instead on a PSP version. The trailer for the Third Birthday was cool as anything but we didn't get a hent of gameplay so I've a feeling it was gonna be pretty much an action game, not sure mind.

Since then (earlier this year/late last) though, I've heard little more so maybe they changed their minds again?

There's tons of great jrpgs on the two handhelds right now-I think TWEWY is one of the most under appreciated games in a long time on the DS(or anywhere!)and I've nly just finished Crisis Core for PSP which was also excellent. They're hardly alone with plenty of new IP, spin offs and full blown sequels(DQ for eg)plastered all over PSP and DS-prolly cos it's much cheaper than risking poor sales on the gome and HD consoles, no?

And Spoony's right; would we want many more lower budget jrpg on PS360Wii? The ones we've had haven't been as good, in the main, as those for the handhelds or even Persona3 and 4 for PS2 have they? Unless there's gonna be a FF or KH type budget it's much more likely that you'll get more, and better all round, games for the portables-without even thinking about all the good quality remakes they keep getting (FF3,CT, PSP, SO1 and, hopefully, 2, Persona1 etc, etc).

I'd love a LoD reignition but would the money be available to make it as good as the games we remember? With the way jrpgs have, or haven't, been selling I think it's unlikely as even big players like SE find it's a very big risk(though not even having a single PS3 game out at this syage is very bad form after almost pushing FF fans into buying the console for a couple of years!)and not one worth taking.

It's on Steam, don't think they'll have another port unless it's a remake.
