Please let this be true.
I blame a lot of this on the success of VII, while it was a great game, I feel that it's popularity brought the series into the mainstream and from then on the developers tried to make all the rest like it.

Bravely Default, as you may recall, was published by Nintendo in North America and Europe. In North America, the game sold over 200,000 copies in its first three weeks. Following its release in Europe, producer Tomoya Asano expressed surprise at how well the game was being received.

It might be true, then they're going to sell it on consoles that feature sports and FPS's and other non-RPG fans. Again, missing their core audience.
I hope they are more mindful of their choices this time.

Bingo. Such is the case with a ultra-blockbuster.

This was the nugget that was music to my ears

"For the new games we'll be developing from this point on, while this may sound a bit extreme, we’ve been talking about making them as heavy JRPGs. I believe that way, we can better focus on our target, which will also bring better results."

I guess if there was to be a silicon era article on TD, it'd be this one.

This is actually really good news. If anything comes of it, anyway.

Just a ploy to get your money. Nothing will change, still will suck. Still will have asexual main characters with emo hair.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Lost Odyssey 2 to be announced at E3. I know it's not SE but I think Lost Odyssey was the last good JRPG that I've played.
As far as the FF series goes, I tried but just couldn't get into any of them after FFX.

Lost Odyssey is my favorite 360 game, but you're not playing enough of the genre if you think this is the case.

frick da jap. Murica CoD splosion's, killin commies and dropping nukes is all the story I need.
But fa realz more ffVII-X please.
Side note I did like some of the changes involved with FF 12. The ability to pick and choose fights, hunting logs, classes, etc. combat and story...meh.
