No it shouldn't. Honestly, it sucked. Einhander, on the other hand, is a game that needs a sequel.
I don't believe the concept sucked. I believe the battle-system needed extensive work. Shooters, to me, are like Coke. I prefer Pepsi. If Einhander deserves a sequel, Ehrgeiz deserves another chance.
If you mean the concept of a fully 3D fighting game needs another chance, well I'd say games like Soul Calibur got 3D fighting done right a long time ago. Besides, there'd be no way another Ehrgeiz could top Capcoms Power Stone anyway, so why even bother. I'd rather not see another crappy fighting game with FF characters tacked on so it'll sell (which is what I worry Dissidia may end up being).

I'm with Vivi22, Einhander was an underrated gem that just needed some more polish. Dew Prism 2 would be interesting to see, especially on today's hardware. Besides, I want my Vagrant Story 2 dammit!
Amazing how you remind me of two other games I need to buy in one paragraph. I missed Vagrant Story when it came out due to being broke and unfamiliar with the genius that is Matsuno at the time, and never played Bushido Blade though I want to. I also wish I had bought Einhander when it was first released for that matter. At least Vagrant Story and Bushido Blade are decently priced on Ebay. $70 for Einhander though? That's almost as bad as the number of perfectly great IP's Square has been just sitting on the past 10 years or so.
