MIstwalker artist may have accidentally revealed new game photo

This is a bit of a stretch, but Mistwalker is such a quiet studio that we'll take whatever bones we're thrown. The Internet, hungry for any new information from the Japanese RPG developer, has descended upon this photograph of a Mistwalker artist known only as Watanabe. He was photographed at his desk working on what appears to be a new project. Check it out, grassy fields and an unfinished render of what looks like a little girl.

Like I said, it's a stretch, but everybody else seems to be busting a nut over it, so we're presenting it here for you. This might be the first hint about the mystery project that Hironobu Sakaguchi was talking about last week. Or, it could be nothing at all, and this is merely rudderless speculation. That's up to you to decide.

I just hope we get news of the new game soon. Lost Odyssey was the last brilliant console JRPG I ever played. I need more, please!

That's a pretty nice find, regardless of whether it's concept art or a new game, etc.

I would love another game as fantastic as Lost Odyssey.

How recent is that picture? That is one seriously old Wacom tablet.

I, too, loved Lost Odyssey, but I kinda feel like that was best left a stand-alone experience.

I'm personally hoping this is a whole new deal from them--that said, I'll probably buy it anyways. LO alone earned my benefit of the doubt for these guys.

Clearly the game is called "Outlines."

I still need to beat Lost Odyssey... that's not gonna happen any time soon now that Borderlands is ruling my life.

Clearly, the game will be an action RTS where you command sheep to do attacks and level their talents with experience "actually."

Lost Odyssey was great, but no love for Tales of Vesperia?

I always thought about getting Lost Odyssey but could never bring myself to get it. I dunno something about it just doesn't look appealing to me. The characters perhaps? The ugly graphics? The outdated combat maybe? No idea what it could be!

That guy kinda looks like an ugly woman. Also, I'd kill for his job.

It's the headband...add a few sparkles and faux gems, and it could be a WONDERFUL tiara!

Didn't Sakaguchi say he was working on something already? It's not like anyone can tell what the hell he's doing anyway.

Yay, Nitex has come to troll!

Sorry you have to hate it because it isn't on the PS3...it really is one of the best games I've played in recent memory, probably the best RPG I've played since Final Fantasy IX. And the soundtrack was downright FANTASTIC.
Really, really good game. I sometimes still boot up the disc and re-read the Memories. They tend to do better outside of the game rather then reading them as you find them, but that might just be me.
Also, JANSEN.
Ok, enough of me drooling over this game, but I really thought it was one of the best justifications for the purchase of the Xbox. My wife loved it too, so...bonus?

I can't wait for a new Mistwalker game. Lost Odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time and Blue Dragon was pretty good too.

Is that a guy or a girl in that picture? I want to say girl, but the 5 O' clock shadow says otherwise.

Oh, that's why male Japanese video game characters look like women...
