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!

I would love another game as fantastic as Lost Odyssey.
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.
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?
