Never heard about Cry On anyway. Still disappointed though.

I suspect this will happen to a lot of games this year.

Just play any Final Fantasy game and pretend it's called 'Cry On'. Problem solved.

Cry On was definitely not a FF clone, but whatever.

Did the two previous games not sell the way they expected them to?

I guess in a time when a poorley selling title can bury a studio we might be seeing more of this as they play it safe? Shame though did sound cool.

Apart from FF I'm hard pressed to think of a million selling JRPG. Especially in the West.

this could also translate to:

"We've seen FFXIII, and there's no way we stand a chance of compeating"

More likely they see how much these games cost compared to how much they sell and decided there are bigger profits in other genres. It's a damn shame because Lost Od is a very good JRPG, but I can't blame them for it. It's the equivalent of saying to a developer 'do you want to earn £10 an hour or £50?' It's a no brainer.

"Translation:
"Anything other than the Wii is a waste of development time unless MS or Sony ponie up for an exclusive". "

Yes because 3rd party wii titles sell a megaton. Oh wait... ¬_¬

blue dragon unfortunately complete pants, the first JRPG i hav had to put down. Never got to play lost odessey but it didnt review all that well....then again most of the JRPG's are not reviewing too well, maybe they ought to ort out frame rates and general innovation n order to avoid stagnation.

Shame
