Sega teases: 'We're making RPG now!'

A NeoGAF user has also pointed to a graphic allegedly leaked from Sega's Tokyo Game Show page, which seems to imply that the DS game will be called "7th Dragon" and feature a cavalcade of ultra-cute characters. We're certainly intrigued, but part of us would simply prefer to continue living the lie: it's Skies of Arcadia 2, and it's out tomorrow.

Yes. The DS rapidly changed my mind about handhelds. I used to be a huge PSP fanboy and thought the DS was stupid, until the great RPGs started coming out for the DS. These days, it is my favorite console, home or portable.
Fernando Rocker @ Sep 17th 2008 3:46PM
The DS is now my primary RPG gaming system, and one of the reasons I like the DS a lot to play RPG games is that there are no loading times between battles.
Console RPG's sometimes takes like a second (yes, I know it sounds like nothing) but that second becomes very annoying in long games with constant battles.
Besides, a lot of DS Rpgs feature online play, like the new Phantasy Star 0 or Dragon Quest.
Actually, the DS is the system I'm spending more money all this holiday.

Speaking of DS RPGs, anyone have any feelings on Magical Starsign? I was thinking about picking up an old copy.
Fernando Rocker @ Sep 17th 2008 4:57PM
Oh pick that game. Very good, and it have an online mode.
If you pick the game and want to play, just send me a message.
Alex @ Sep 17th 2008 3:40PM
Panzer... Duh ;)
Maverick Saturn @ Sep 17th 2008 5:01PM
FTW ^^
A Pissed-off English Gamer @ Sep 17th 2008 9:12PM
That or Skies of Arcadia 2 would be brilliant. Can Sega still make a good RPG though?

It sounds like an insult until you see the reverse
Wapanese....
"OOOH KAWAII DESUYO DESU DESU BAKA YAOI SUGOI!"
Given the choice...I'd rather hear Me love you long time.
Jack @ Sep 17th 2008 5:46PM
Desu! Desu! Desu!
Ninjakamster (PS360 FTW!) @ Sep 17th 2008 3:41PM
When it come out?
Xoviet chiK @ Sep 17th 2008 3:41PM
I hope one day I'll randomly click myself into Oddworld Inhabitants website and it'll say, "We're making Game now!"
7th Dragon style looks cute, but it just confirms that it isn't a Camelot developed Shining Force IV.
Cutty @ Sep 17th 2008 5:53PM
+1 to you.
Oh, Oddworld. Stranger's Wrath was awesome but I want another game with Abe in, damn it! How about a good ol' 2D one for XBLA/PSN? =D
BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Sep 17th 2008 3:47PM
Keep living that dream, Ludwig. Maybe it'll eventually come true!
Erluti @ Sep 17th 2008 3:48PM
Those flowers look like they are from the Shenmue tree!
And Lan Di wanted the Dragon Mirror!
*crosses fingers*
zuburi @ Sep 17th 2008 3:53PM
Hope springs eternal... :(
gameplayFanBoy @ Sep 17th 2008 4:08PM
Shenmue 3 FTW!! It's finally coming out! Really Guys!! *sobs uncontrollably*
Boffo the $ock @ Sep 17th 2008 3:50PM
All your RPG are belong to us!
Someone set up us the RPG!
dark_inchworm @ Sep 17th 2008 4:13PM
Goddammit, you beat me to the AYB reference.
At least you seem cool.

We're making meme now!
FOXHOUND @ Sep 17th 2008 3:51PM
yay, BILLY HATCHER UNLEASHED.
Go Sega! :p
Erluti @ Sep 17th 2008 3:52PM
Maybe Sega has entered arms dealing and just wanted to let us now they are making Rocket Propelled Grenades?
Blank-Mage @ Sep 18th 2008 12:16AM
Yeah, but I hear they're pretty harsh on your console. Except the DS, that baby can take temperatures of up to 9,000 degrees!
(I should stop before I lose what little dignity I have left.)
O U C WHAT I DID THAR?!
(What have I done?)
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 17th 2008 3:52PM
So long as we're dreaming, how about a REAL Phantasy Star sequel?
SupaYoYoMan @ Sep 17th 2008 3:52PM
its not Skies of Arcadia i don't care :-(
Antagonist @ Sep 17th 2008 3:55PM
Is anybody else having trouble not reading that statement to themselves in an over-the-top Asian accent?
Wiinterfang @ Sep 17th 2008 4:00PM
aaaw I though it was the next platinum games, game.
Fernando Rocker @ Sep 17th 2008 4:01PM
What is wrong with the phrase? I really don't see anything wrong =(
Well... with my limited english, that phrase sounds completely normal to me.
Fernando Rocker @ Sep 17th 2008 4:02PM
Wait... should it be: We are making an RPG now?
Mr Khan @ Sep 17th 2008 4:13PM
Yeah you got it right
Japanese have no such articles
Erluti @ Sep 17th 2008 4:44PM
Just like the phrase "Hey baby! Tonight we will make a sweet love!"
Maverick Saturn @ Sep 17th 2008 5:01PM
Wait! Maybe its a riddle :O
SunKing @ Sep 17th 2008 4:21PM
Yes Fernando.
Nigeria @ Sep 17th 2008 4:23PM
I know it's not, but I'd love this to be a remake of PDS. If for only so the Saturn originals would crash in price. That'd sock it to the ebay cabal.
If that silhouette turns out to be Sonic or, heaven forbid, Knuckles...
Mr Khan @ Sep 17th 2008 4:44PM
You can't honestly say you don't like Knuckles, if that's what you're driving at
Not liking Knuckles is like not liking fresh air.
Nigeria @ Sep 17th 2008 5:23PM
No, no. I love Knuckles.
1) Sonic
2) Knuckles
3) Metal Sonic
4) Charmy Bee/Espio - I actually liked Chaotix's missions in Sonic Heroes.
The rest...
...but we already have Werehog. I don't know. I would really hate to see a Sonic/Knuckles Weredragon. Sonic Team seem to be smoking real strong herbs.
Blank-Mage @ Sep 18th 2008 12:24AM
Personally, it's a 4-way battle for second for me...
1. Tails.
2. Metal Sonic.
2. Blaze.
2. Sonic.
2. Knuckles.
I still want to find out who came up with "Eggman" so I can exact furious vengence. It's Dr. Robotnik. Occasionally, with a Mean Bean Machine.
87. Vector.
Diskoboy7 @ Sep 17th 2008 4:38PM
Personally, I'd rather see a new Jet Set Radio game.
vgxtremist @ Sep 18th 2008 11:14AM
AMEN
Maverick Saturn @ Sep 17th 2008 4:59PM
Tackiest flash splash page ever :)
Are they really making an RPG though? I know it says it there, but my conscience tells me that they may not in fact be making an RPG, I'm thinking reverse psychology here, maybe they WANT you to think they are making an RPG when they are in fact making an FPS or Platformer, this is thier conspiracy to trick us into believing they are making an RPG and thus get all excited only to be told they are making another Sonic game with no RPG elements, but based on the fact that they claimed it to be an RPG, we will still spread rumours around the web that this new Sonic game is not Sonic but actually an RPG, even up until the day they release the game under the title Sonic's Revenge, we will still be convinced that it is an RPG, thus making us spend more then we would on a casual basis to buy a sonic game, even while we play, knowing its a Sonic game we are convinced it is an RPG and so play on hoping the RPG elements will come into play at some point only to be tricked when none appears. By then you would have already bought the game and slightly scratched the CD making it non refundable, you are stuck with it forever, but yet, you are not bothered, you just played the greatest RPG of all time :D Horrah!
(BTW, you didn't need to read all that, just felt like typing, thats why I seperated it from the top sentance :D )
Backslash @ Sep 17th 2008 5:03PM
CLEARLY the silhouette is Sonic's ALL-NEW WEREDRAGON FORM in his new game! C'mon, guys.
ScallionN @ Sep 17th 2008 6:01PM
I can smell the furry porn artists already...
Josh @ Sep 17th 2008 10:23PM
SoA2 or not, DO WANT.
Beautiful music, beautiful character designs, seems like a wonderful game.
Josh @ Sep 17th 2008 10:49PM
Also, the producer is the Skies of Arcadia designer, Rieko Kodama.
This game is already instant win.
Purple Haze @ Sep 17th 2008 11:27PM
Whether this is Skies of Arcadia 2 or not, why didn't they make a sequel to that? It was soooooooo awesome!
