The first one, Chaos Rings Omega, is a prequel that is set to release this May. Today we have the first Japanese trailer for the upcoming game, and it looks really good. This trailer starts off as any Square Enix trailer would, with pretty music and scenes. Then it moves into a showcase for voice actors, but hang in there, as you get more story and gameplay toward the end.
It looks to line up perfectly with the last game in presentation and story. If anything, it seems a bit more grand and open. I'm glad Square Enix and Media Vision are continuing the story.

Hope they make it 2G compatible, it is so annoying that I cannot play Infinity Blade.
Actually, I expect there will be a PSP port sooner or later, called Chaos Rings Complete Edition or something. What I really want though is to play it on my PS3 or 360. Why are most good JRPGs on portable platforms now, I don't want to play a 12-40 hour RPG on the go? I want it on my big screen TV...
Looks like more of the same, not that that's a bad thing though. I loved the first one enough to %100 it. I'm hoping they tweak the battle system a bit more though, so it doesn't get so easy after you reach a certain level.

I'll be picking this up for sure.
