Sorry for the title, but this doesn’t have anything to do with Final Fantasy, or even Square for that matter. According to RP Gamer, Namco has announced another RPG for the GameCube entitled Baten Kaitos, which is being made by Monolith Soft. There isn’t much information on the game thus far save that the story follows a man with one wing searching for his family. There’s a bit more information there for those who are interested.
I had a feeling that Monolith Soft was going to announce a new project soon after they put a notice saying that their website would be down for maintenance from the 22nd on through the 23rd, however since their site is still down as I am writing this I haven’t been able to confirm anything just yet.
Personally I’m a bit disappointed since I was hoping for Xenosaga Episode II instead of something new. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad the GC is getting another RPG, and I will definitely be looking forward to it. At the same time however, the fact that Xenosaga sold fewer copies than expected in Japan along with this lengthy wait for the announcement of a sequel already had me worried. Hearing that Monolith Soft is doing something that is not Xenosaga only makes me worry more…
Oh, and in related news, RPgamer also said that Namco is changing the name of the GC Tales-series game from ‘Tales of Phantasia’ to ‘Tales of Symphonia’. *sigh* I can feel another ‘name change’ headache coming…
