May 22, 201015 yr I've noticed just now that I wrote shocking announced game instead of unannounced.. serves me right for not checking before posting.
May 23, 201015 yr I'm gonna be nice and pretend you guys didn't argue over which JRPG Obs will be making a sequel for. But it sure would be shocking now wouldn't it?
May 23, 201015 yr Author The shocking announced game... ANNOUNCED. It's not Obsidian's and it's not even interesting. Meh. Square Enix US is different from SE Japan. We are talking about an SE US project a western developer is making for them. BTW, According to David Hoffman's LinkedIn, he "worked side by side Chris Taylor, on pre-production and throughout production of Supreme Commander 2". and I'd be really surprised if SE US project were Obsidian's.

May 23, 201015 yr and I'd be really surprised if SE US project were Obsidian's. Boooooooooo Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
May 23, 201015 yr This time I'll anticipate our dear funcroc: new milestone just rolled in on project X! Can't wait to reveal the latest and greatest RPG to come outta Square Enix. From David Hoffman's twitter.

This time I'll anticipate our dear funcroc: new milestone just rolled in on project X! Can't wait to reveal the latest and greatest RPG to come outta Square Enix. From David Hoffman's twitter. So the first project announcement wasn't "project X" then? And is it me or is it the first time they clearly state it's a RPG? And I swear we're going to be upset when it's revealed that Obsidian has nothing to do with it
May 23, 201015 yr So the first project announcement wasn't "project X" then? And is it me or is it the first time they clearly state it's a RPG? Yup, as funcroc already clarified. To be honest, I've been mislead by someone posting the Sonia IM (or whatever her name is) in a thread about the surprising and shocking/revolutionary announcement of Square Enix Japan that no-one would believe.
May 24, 201015 yr Author http://twitter.com/squareenixdave/status/14642228648 "trying to get it announced before then [E3 2010]. Wish me luck..."
May 24, 201015 yr http://twitter.com/squareenixdave/status/14642228648 "trying to get it announced before then [E3 2010]. Wish me luck..." ... and look to whom he's answering.
May 25, 201015 yr Do note that some devs have browsed this topic. Doesn't probably mean anything, but let the speculation start anyway.
May 26, 201015 yr Third reply to a dead topic in a row! New twitter from this David Hoffman guy: Well my job is to drive relationships with N American companies and create games that have a global appeal. Hm, did I answer you?
May 27, 201015 yr what is NX3? do you refer to Neverwinter Nights 3? I would be so happy to know it's in the making! ~Xeo
May 28, 201015 yr Author http://twitter.com/squareenixdave/status/14848397789 "I have and had no involvement in the rumored project [Final Fantasy XII spin-off] Fortress" Edited May 28, 201015 yr by funcroc
May 28, 201015 yr I'm already imagining all the fun we'll get when inevitably this project turns out to NOT be Obsidian's unannounced project.
May 29, 201015 yr Author http://twitter.com/SquareEnixSonia/status/14937594633 "I miss you @DeathBot9 [GPG's Chris Taylor] ! Think we'll be working together again in some capacity soon? #hinthintpeople" So, Square Enix's project may be a new Dungeon Siege?
May 29, 201015 yr http://twitter.com/SquareEnixSonia/status/14937594633"I miss you @DeathBot9 [GPG's Chris Taylor] ! Think we'll be working together again in some capacity soon? #hinthintpeople" So, Square Enix's project may be a new Dungeon Siege? I lost all respect for Chris Taylor after Supreme Commander 2. Yeah, he made TA, which is the best RTS ever, but honestly, what the ****. "The universe is a yawning chasm, filled with emptiness and the puerile meanderings of sentience..." - Ulyaoth "It is all that is left unsaid upon which tragedies are built." - Kreia "I thought this forum was for Speculation & Discussion, not Speculation & Calling People Trolls." - lord of flies
May 29, 201015 yr If it's another Dungeon Siege I hope it's moddable.. maybe they can do a Ultima IX remake this time, correcting all the game's flaws?
May 30, 201015 yr I hope it will be Neverwinter Nights 3. I miss Forgotten Realms. And I wish them to do Baldur's gate 3: Black Hound. May be some idea from this game/
May 30, 201015 yr Given all the legal tussling that D&D is going through with Wizards of the Coast and Atari, I don't think we'll see another D&D game anytime soon. Signing on to make one would certainly be an unwise business decision for Obsidz. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
May 30, 201015 yr Atari is almost broke, so they can't afford to finance a AAA D&D game. Rain makes everything better.
May 31, 201015 yr I think the GPG quote is something else, because: one thing I've learned is that you can't please everyone. Fans of RPGs though should be thrilled. http://twitter.com/squareenixdave/status/15011753488 Edited May 31, 201015 yr by Syraxis
