It's funny because in an old article I have quoted about a dozen times, one of the producers said they were interested in making another Ogre Battle Saga game after FFXII. Well that has come and gone and it seems no such luck due to the what XIII coming out in a year or two? I find that funny since they said XII was going to be their supposedly last one in the series. Now there is XII-2 DS game and who knows what else. Also Gamespot said they keep coming short on profit forecasts. What the heck is going on over there and where is our next OB game?

Probably wasting time on Weeaboo: PBF comic by Nicholas GurewitchSeriously though, it's becoming more and more clear that the only way we're going to see another OB saga is if one of us somehow makes it in the gaming industry and takes the game off their hands. I nominate Oldy because not only does he get things done around here but he also gets into crazy adventures along the way. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Yeah the chances of seeing another OB game do look slim. Instead Square seem to be pushing the whole Ivalice thing forward with the release of 2 Tactics games from that _other_ series.
It's kinda sad when you realise that the last OB game (I.e. this one) was released 6 years ago in Japan. Even worse is that the main man behind the OB and FFT series (Matsuno) doesn't appear to even be at Square any more.
Maybe they'll do something for the original game's 15th anniversary next year, like they have with FFT's 10th anniversary this year. Then again maybe Shenmue 3 will get made...

Well, my original plan was to get my CIS Degree in programming and go into the game design field...but that didnt quite work out so I guess i'll just have to up as Myamoto or something, kill him, and take his place and have Nintendo buy Atlus and make a new TO game.
BTW I preordered this game about 2 weeks ago, I cant wait for it!

Heroes of Mana is meh. Rune factory sounds interesting but I'd rather stick with the new Harvest Moon Island game. ....Luminous Arc comes out tomorrow. >_>

Heroes of Mana comes out tomorrow. My b-day is the 30th so I am getting Heroes of Mana and Luminous Arc for DS. I want some new DS games.........Phoenix Wright comes out in a month or two as well. I'm excited about both of them. I heard Heroes has some AI issues and Luminous Arc is a cookie cutter strategy game but a decent play non-the-less. I figure each will be fun to play. I'm a bit over Harvest Moon and will be skipping Ruin Factory for now.

I'm a bit over Harvest Moon and will be skipping Ruin Factory for now. Some new DS games....well there have been rumors of another Advance Wars coming up. Um, beside that, keep your fingers crossed for another FE/TO game because I don't know of any other Tactics based games. (FFTA excluded) How are the Phoenix Wright games anyway? I haven't really played any of them.. I never got into the mana series either - I tried to but I didn't like it. And I'm kind of disappointed to hear that about Luminous Arc. Hopefully it's good and hopefully EB Games has it today. We shall see. EDIT: Apparently not - I'll have to wait till tomorrow, stupid EB...

The Phoenix Wright games are really good. I enjoyed the 2nd one more than the first. The third one is coming out soon and actually does not involve Pheonix at all. FFXII Revnant Wings comes out this x-mas season for the DS.

If you ignore the fact that it's just a 10 year old SNES game with a few extra missions, then Front Mission 1 for DS (when it comes out) is a very good, albeit oldschool, SRPG. Recommend ++

Front Mission isn't bad but I'd hoped that they would at least have made it a bit better. The only game I want at the moment is Luminous Arc but it's still not here ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) As of now, nothing else seems to catch my eye for the DS. Another Golden Sun game would be awesome.

I played Front Mission for the SNES on an Emu way back in the day. It was a pretty solid game where you could add weapons to mechs, level them up, repair, move, etc. and a decent story.

I'll try to look for this game tomorrow. I'm not sure if it's actually out in Canada yet. Just got Rune Factory today though, so that'll keep me busy in the meantime anyways.

I got this game when it came out and let me say, it is great. Though im not as addicted to it as I was with TO. Atlus is my favorite game company/publisher whatever and they never dissapoint me, this game is definetley not a dissapointment.

It just came in the mail today (29.99 from J&Rs no tax and low shipping) along with Heroes of Mana at standard $40. I asked for them for my b-day this month. Bestbuy is selling heroes this week for $29.99 (that's quite a deal). I will be giving this the old college try later this week as I am currently playing Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Cube.
