Once in a while a new title is announced with a development staff that has a great track record. 7th Dragon from Sega and image epoch is one of those titles, directed by Kazuya Niinou of Etrian Odyssey fame. As an old-school RPG this title has many of the basic elements in line, but whether it can do more than that is unknown.

Countdowns rarely lead to anything big, yet gamers constantly fall for them, leading Heath of Game Revolution to write: "Be it a big boost or a small one, an increase in exposure and hype are virtually guaranteed if a game publisher does something as simple as opening a website with a date and an image on it. How often does this work? Every dang time."

It blows my mind every time I see people actually expecting/predicting big things from internet countdowns.
