Unless you're a manga fanatic, you may not have heard of Japanese magazine V Jump, but if you're a Square Enix fan you're sure to remember them after today. It seems that a mention popped up in their pages of a new game project with the king of RPGs. The excerpt follows:
"Square Enix [and V Jump] begin 'Project V', which will create a next-generation blockbuster! Perhaps your ideas will become reality?!".
Considering that Square has its fingers in many pies, there is no proof that this means there is a game on the way, considering that they also publish some anime series (such as the recent Kuroshitsuji). It would be really cool if it was a game though. I'm unfamiliar withthe unique characters of the Jump universe -- anyone have any ideas about what this might be?

Isn't Shonen Jump the American version of Jump? I could totally be mistaken. I was thinking Kindom Heart like game where you travel through different mangas .. I would defin get it :)
I agreed. Although I got the first one when it came out, but never got the second one. Really enjoyed the game but my friends didn't have the game so I didn't really have anyone to play with
What V Jump is is another magazine from the same publisher of Weekly Shonen Jump, with a focus on video games and more game-related manga. It has been home to a few Yu-gi-oh spinoff manga (the main series was serialized in Shonen Jump), a few Digimon manga, a Viewtiful Joe manga, Slime MoriMori (from Dragon Quest), and other stuff of that nature. So basically, don't get excited for Naruto and Luffy to be fighting Cloud and Tidus, because those characters are outside the scope of V Jump.
Interestingly enough, I'm always curious about why Square Enix participates with Weekly Shonen Jump and V Jump, seeing as they actually own their own manga imprint, Shonen Gangan and its related magazines, in which they've serialized stuff like Full Metal Alchemist and Soul Eater. Guess they just like to work with the most popular manga anthologies out there...
