Then what's with the big number 4 and the 8-bit tunes?

guess it's too much to hope that it's a sequel to Brave Fencer Musashi/Threads of Fate/Vagrant Story

How many SaGa games have we had now?

SaGa Frontier
SaGa Frontier 2
Unlimited SaGa
SaGa Frontier 4???

Re: square enix counting down to......??????

You'd need a SaGa Frontier 3 for that.

The Final Fantasy Legend games were actually SaGa games. That's 3.

Then there are the Romancing SaGa games. Now we're up to 6.

Two SaGa Frontiers, and one Unlimited SaGa bring us to a grand total of 9.

That Final Fantasy Wiiware thing is an episodic game right?

So... the next FF4 episode is being released in Japan in 6 days?

Re: square enix counting down to......??????

Great, now I got my hopes up for a new SaGa game (Not including the DS remake).

The sketch drawn quickly was fun to watch, though.

So far it's hard to tell if it's Tomomi Kobayashi's work. Just a black and white dragon so far. If color gets added, or I see some humans, I'll be easier to know.

I'm sure it'll be something completely ****ty.

EDIT AFTER ACTUALLY LOOKING: But with an interesting art direction. Maybe another FFCC game.

please no. can we get a new, interesting, and actually GOOD IP from Square? I realize that with the economy the way it is right now, studios are less willing to take chances on new properties, but, come on. it's Square. almost everything they touch turns to gold (financially speaking).

After the lukewarm sales of TWEWY I remember seeing a quote somewhere that Square wasn't going to dabble in original properties or something to that effect.
