Lost Odyssey kind of made an impact on me. Sort of. Destructoid's Jim Sterling and Chad Concelmo were also both vocal fans of the Mistwalker RPG, and I've personally found myself keeping a close eye on the studio's future since. Hironobu Sakaguchi recently updated the Mistwalker dev blog recently with some information about the new project, which he describes as a "four wheel drive Lego with removable doors". Here's more from the blog:
What about the game itself? Planning to basically put importance on having seamless control of the overall direction of the game, mixed with CG spectacle scenes. Controls will have a bit of a trick to it, while having a blend of RPG-type strategy and growth. Behaviors based on interaction with the situation around you...wait, I'm not supposed to say more than this… ^^
Sakaguchi also says more info about the game will be coming later this year. Can't wait! We'll bring you more as soon as we hear it, but I'm very excited to see more about this new project.

I suppose I'll have to wait and see more.
I think I saw some images of it lookin pretty good. Such a shame.
I guess I will have to keep an eye on this.
As for The Last Remnant, I rented that recently and sent it almost straight back. When Epic saw what Square Enix were doing with the Unreal Engine 3 they should have taken the license off them and then sent a rape squad to the developers' office to repay the insult.
It seems to start a bit slow =/.
Unless its another blue dragon
Also, I don't know how many times I've posted pretty much this same message in the past month or so.
FFXIII could be called "Eloi vs. Morlocks: Battle for Gotham City" (from what I've read of the plot synopsis and setting it seems plausible :) ). But if they called it that, a lot of people would probably not buy it.
Therefore, Lost ODyssey 2 needn't have anything to do with Lost Odyssey 1.
Whatever Mistwalker comes out with next, i'm just praying it's easier on my girly side than the time I spent with LO was!
Yeah, I'd rather see a fresh new game. Jrpgs are indeed becoming stale and cliched, despite the positive changes of Persona, LO and Valkyria. I hope Mistwalker take a look at what some western developers are doing with rpgs, as well as the east. Then he'll be in a prime position to take jrpgs in a different direction.
By the way Mistwalker, where's our english translation of Archaic Sealed Heart for DS? This game seems to have gone awol, and should have been out ages ago.
I think Mistwalker's cancelled porject was Cry On.
The new project might be another blue dragon with DS version's game play?
