Speaking to Stragety Informer, BioWare's Mike Laidlaw had some simultaneously pleasing and disappointing news for Jade Empire fans. When asked directly when we would see a sequel to the Asian fantasy RPG, Laidlaw opted for the always handy -- and always frustrating -- PR Jedi mind trick, stating that BioWare hasn't made any announcements regarding Jade Empire 2. On a brighter note, he added that the game is a "staff favorite," saying, "We'd love to revisit it at some point." He then quickly switched gears back to disappointment, noting that the company is currently focused on Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2.
Dear team BioWare, you are most assuredly not the only ones that would love to revisit Jade Empire. Grab a sticky note and write that down, tuck it under your pillow and think about it. Think hard. Thanks.

The only racism I saw was John Cleese, and that was FANTASTIC.

I didn't like this game. It was dull and talky, and you got a sense that any ideas surrounding Chinese mythology was swiped from a quick peruse from a Wikipedia Ikki Tousen article.
Also, bar John Cleese's cameo, the voice work was lousy which didn't help the forever dull story. And the fighting was a chore.

That game didn't have NEARLY enough nudity to be based on Ikki Tousen.

Would love to go back to Jade Empire. Without a doubt one of my top 3 experiences on the Xbox original. I'd often linger in beautiful places just enjoying the view.

I whole-heartedly would be very pleased to see a sequel to the amazing Jade Empire franchise! This game was nothing more than astounding and a piece of gaming art; Bioware do the community a favor and breath lie into this dormant master piece!
