Comments on: Uncovering three of the unannounced titles at TGS ’09 http://www.psuni.com/test-2-41/ The home of your PlayStation education Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:31:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Anonymous http://www.psuni.com/test-2-41/comment-page-5/#comment-48665 Anonymous Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:25:56 +0000 http://www.playstationuniversity.com/?p=41#comment-48665 So, almost 2 years later and still nothing. Some great source you had there. @kaiser6012 While what you said is probably true, Ar tonelico 3 was announced nearly a month before this article was written. Everyone that would've been interested in it had already known about it. So whatever 'source' this was, really only accomplished one thing: pissing people off about lack of LoD2, again.

Now, I'd like to think that I'm an eternal optimist, but when it comes to LOD, I've been disappointed so many times it's hard to take something like this with good humor, particularly when it appears that the name has been dropped as a bait-and-switch for another, lower quality game. See, here's what I think's happened: your "incredible insider source" has a game he wants hyped. It's not a terribly remarkable game - it's main drawcard is heaps of eye candy and some debatably risqué conversation choices and doesn't have much meat on those bones when it comes to past success with the series. So what to do? Advertising directly is kinda hard with the main artistic focuschosen and word of mouth is too unreliable. Easy - they go online, find two RPGs that have had sequels requested for years and years, advertise the okay game with two games that would be instant bestsellers and get free air time. Then, when the other two games don't eventuate, say "Oh well, I never said they were a sure thing. Besides, I got one right". I apologise if I am coming off as antagonistic and be aware that this is only a hypothesis, but it appears to me that you should disown that inside source - he's mooched free advertising off you. It also seems that you have gotten it wrong, at least in this case. If you're willing to say "I told you so" in your follow-up reports, you have to be able to take criticism when things fall through. Next time, I beg you to double-check the info before giving false hope to the sequel-hopers. We've been #$*@ed around enough.

I'll give it to the end of the year. And if we haven't heard anything by around November-December of 2010, then I'll call "Bullshit" on it. But until then... Very, very hopeful.

And because of the hype and large fanbase of Final Fantasy, Legend of Dragoon was vastly over-looked and didn't do as well in American Markets as Sony had hoped. So I think the best bet of hearing something will come after FF13, (possibly after FF14, as well.) Because they want to avoid having the same thing happen again. Also, I believe they've said FF13 and FF14 will be released in close succession of one another. So I don't think it'll be too long of a wait.

From descrpition that was told to me, it basically makes FF13 look like last gen.I doubt we will see anything about it until FF13 get realeasd in west(March) and then add one or two months. Same goes for FF13 Versus. Doub SE will show anything before FF13 is out in West, mark my words. This isn't any inside info just common sense.

Dean, if it doesn't come out you will get flamed like no other... and even if you are right and it does come out... as far as we'know, you could have just made a good guess based on common sense (considering how well the the original sold, how many fans it has). I thought there would be a sequal some day when I was 12. The point is... no matter the outcome you will never win so stop getting peoples hopes up with no evidence to back it up. It's been done enough times already and us true LoD fans certainly don't appreciate it.

LOD was/still is my favourite game of all time, and whilst newer games can outclass it with their graphics, I doubt anything will top the storyline/enjoyability (probably not a word, but i think the meaning is clear). Of course i must confess i'm slightly sceptical due to the hundreds of previous LOD sequel/prequel rumours that've been flying around in past years. Mind you, Fallout waited for damn near a decade for their third instalment and so I hope LOD operates on the same principle. Please respond if anyone has more info :) Has anyone heard any more on LOD2?

Let's hope That's at least true. While I was let down that they didn’t announce LOD2 or G4 I did hear that White Knight Chronicles and Wild Arms 6 were shown behind closed doors!
