Developers of Odin Sphere are making an Action/RPG for the Wii

I love the word 'Oboro'. I named my PC Oboro.

As for the game, yay if it ever comes out here.

Hopefully this game can be something more than a cartoony side scroller action RPG which this company always seems to churn out.

It's opinions like this that are taking videogames to all the wrong places and making developers scared to risk making worthwhile games.

Vanillaware is one of the few developers that is willing to risk their stature in the harsh world of game development to put out games that aren't run-of-the-mill, and that reglorify the dying conventions that birthed some of the greatest games ever created.

Your opinion sucks.

Vannilaware are good at what they do so why must they limit there abilities to a genre that has no juice left. The side scrolling genre cant go in anymore interesting directions so it makes sense for developers to leave it behind, along with all the other dying conventions. I mean, how excited would you be to hear of someone making another turn based RPG with random encounters and other old RPG conventions. Not alot I'd assume.

The industry always needs to head somewhere, its people like Vannilaware that are just too bone idle to care and drag down the industry. Kick out the old and bring in the new.

They stick with the same game style because they're rather good at what they do? I know I'd prefer a quality game that's great because they've stuck with that same style for so long. I'd prefer that over a new style that's average and not as fun, simply because people wanted them to create things they have no experience in.

Even if they didn't entirely succeed for various reasons, there where some pretty interesting concepts in Odin Sphere (fruit farming is awesome). If anything, it wasn't ENOUGH like a 2D side scroller, since the format for the environments was boring as all hell. Hopefully this new game will do more to make them a little more interactive by adding a few platforming elements.

The amount of hype in Japan each time a new Dragon Quest game comes out is unbelievable. I don't really care too much for the series myself but there is definitely still a market for ridiculously traditional JRPGs.

I'm excited!
