And we're writing post now! A new, Japanese teaser website has surfaced in Sega's online realm, promising an unnamed RPG amidst some spinny flower things and what looks to be an angry, somewhat angular dragon. We haven't found much use for the page, other than sticking it in the background and listening to the wonderfully retro music.
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.

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.

That or Skies of Arcadia 2 would be brilliant. Can Sega still make a good RPG though?

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 )
