Media.Vision Making New RPG With Square Enix

Media.Vision, the developers of Wild ARMs and more recently The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, are partnering with Square Enix to for a new RPG.

The unnamed game will launch on the iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad store later this year. Details about the project are scarce since the semi-announcement comes from a Media Vision hiring spree.

Too bad I don't have an iPhone / iPod / iWhatever to play this game on, but I love Media.Vision, so I bet it will be good. Dammit, Sony, your Japan Studios haven't been releasing hardly ANYTHING for PS3, you need to get off your butts and announce that you've got Media.Vision doing Wild Arms 6 for PS3! Now THAT would make me a happy man! LOVE that franchise.

Just give me WA: 6 on the PS3 please.

WA: 5 was a really nice return to form with the open-world map and such. Classic JRPG.

Actually, Sony has 3 unannounced JRPGs in the working. Back then on the TGS, I remember a rumour about Wild Arms 6, so we might hear more info. this year.

@clownbelt: let's just hope they are good ones.
I've been asking for wild arms 6 for a while, i can only dream it will happen.

I'm with you guys; I love Media/Vision and their work on the Wild ARMs. series. If WA6 is coming sometime to the PS3, let's hope they retain Michiko Naruke and her wonderful compositional skills. One of the draws of the series for me is the wonderful music. :)

Anybody else hate when devs waste time and resources developing games for cell phones?

I tend to believe cell phone game market in Japan is pretty big, which would explain why Squeeznix spend so much on phone games.

Before I scrolled down and read your comment, I was going to post the exact same thing. I know some people play those cell phone games but is it really that big of a market? I would think a company could make better use of there resources developing for PC and/or consoles. But I guess they're playing to their strengths.

Cheaper and less man power involved than with a DS/ PSP title even.

Wild Arms 3 was such a good game, I remember it as being an all-time RPG fave. The first 2 were decent, but 3 was really the awesome one I always thought. Let's see if they still have some of that magic left.
