Lol, Legend of Dragoon sits in the same hovel as Beyond the Beyond. I will never understand the fandom for the game.
Bye @ your flop opinion. JRPGs still run dis

Legend of Dragoon is one of the most generic JRPGs ever made.
But it has some charming music and pre-rendered backgrounds. Really relaxed simple gameplay too. Don't think I had to grind a single time in that entire thing.
Just posting Cheryl Cole's hot face doesn't make my opinion on the ugly last guardian car creature any less valid.
Right, they only have the talent to make interesting universes, mechanics, and to use smarter storytelling than cutscene, cutscene, dialogue, cutscene. Not like that's the main composition of a JRPG or anything.

I have a feeling that Cerny is better suited to the technical/hardware side of things rather than game design. I base this on how terrible Knack looks.
I doubt anyone will have an answer to Final Fantasy XV. You just can't compete. But if they release it quick enough it could be an answer to FF13

Cerny will more likely be the lead consultant for some first party games (including The Last Guardian) up until early 2015 and then shift toward the chief architect role for the PS5 that same year.

Nothing is bad as Beyond the Beyond.

Sounds good, been too long since a big budget FF like jrpg came out on consoles. Hope they emulate Tetsuya Nomura's style too lol, his designs are so cool.
And btw, wasn't JRPG Cerny's favourite genre? Atleast thats what I read once.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
He worked on Sonic 2, Crash Bandicoot 1-3 and Jak & Daxter 1. He was also a design consultant on the PS1 Spyro games, Uncharted 1, God of War 3 and a bunch of Ratchet & Clank games.
I have faith in Cerny.
I have no faith in SCEJ besides PD though, as they are worthless and take forever to get exactly nothing of value out the door.
At this point even a Level-5 JRPG nowadays is an answer to Tragic Struggles XIII

I always thought that Legend of Dragoon is a Final Fantasy game. I was a child and the resemblance was too big for me.

If Cerny can revive the LOD franchise...I will forever love him...
I hope you dont mean crossplay between those two, Vita's already damaging PS3 enough with that shit, please stay away from PS4!.

It will be nice if sony make more new JRPG IP and Reviving their classic franchise like Wild Arms, legaia, Arc the lad, dark cloud, etc. even if it led by a western dev (but still consist of mostly japanese team) i hope they keep the style of art Japanese, i don't want to play jrpg with a knack like artstyle.
I want WILD ARMS 6!!!!!!!!!!

Unless it's called Final Fantasy, JRPGs don't sell in great enough numbers for Sony to both set up a studio and invest time and money in making it.
The genre isn't dead, but it's definitely not one of the "key genres" it was for most people but unless it gets a lot of hype for some unique aspect (being called Final Fantasy, being a collaboration with Studio Ghibli etc) fhere's no incentive, since the PS consoles are one of the de facto choices for anyone making the more neich titles anyway.
They'd be better off fully funding a Final Fantasy VII remake. Simple as that.

why are ppl still doing this smh
What Sony could really use is a strong WRPG.
After ME3, I wish another dev team could pick up on the space sci-fi RPG genre and given the polish that is generally associated with Sony's first parties' offerings, one of them would make a good candidate.
In general the realm sci-fi WRPG is sparsely populated in the current gen (Fallout, Mass Effect, Deus Ex) and so I'm hoping things would change next gen.

Maybe this is what the From Software guys are doing. I imagine Cerny doesn't have time for another project between Knack and the PS4's upcoming launch.
It's pretty clear some of those games, PSASBR and SCTiT for example, would look much better if it wasnt for the Vita holding them back.
I agree, Pokemon should stay JP exclusive.

If Sony are making an RPG I hope he isn't directing.
He seems to have done a good job with the Playstation 4 hardware, but when it comes to directing/designing... I'm not so sure. Nothing he's done has been particularly great, and Knack looks to be continuing that trend.

ch..... you think PSABR was held back because of vita? have you seen the UI? It was not enough money or passion poured into that mess. The vita is the last thing that held it back

How are those Pokemon console RPGs going?
Isnt this what guerilla's other game is supposed to be?
He was an adviser for Crash, Uncharted and Spyro. At least that counts for something and oh Marble madness.

I think he says something about The Legend of Dragoon being one of his favourite games here:

Just design the game(s) with an international market in mind. No need for girly men or story elements that are too japan only for western markets. Just take the aesthetics back to the 90's where everything had a slight japanese flavor but somehow didn't alienate at the same time.
What feats are these? :/
What does it matter if it's on a handheld or a console? Pokemon puts up insane numbers in every territory, and it's a JRPG.
It's a dumb argument to begin with, since expecting every JRPG to put up Pokemon or Final Fantasy numbers worldwide is foolish.

I played it for the first time 2 years ago and loved it.
Anyway, is Verendus a credible source? Is he a confirmed insider? I would love if he was right, of course. JRPGs need a presence on consoles again, and what better way to do that than a console maker doing a AAA one.
