SEGA teases new RPG to be revealed next week

by Majed Athab { Sep 16th 2008 at 11:15AM }

What could SEGA be working on? Based off this newly revealed teaser site, the house that Sonic built is working on an RPG. It will be revealed in next week's issue of Famitsu which is out on Friday, September 26. Until then, we'll have to snoop around the website and make some speculative guesses.

Well so far, all we know is that the game is an RPG and has something to do with dragons. Secondly, the background music has an undeniably 8-bit sound ... an era far preceding PlayStation. Is this a hint of some sort? A remake of an old title perhaps or a retro release a la Capcom and Mega Man 9? Whatever it is, we're quite enchanted by the music, so we're definitely intrigued to find out if this will be a PS3, PSP, or downloadable PSN title.

all RPGs have dragons and middle age themes. How about more 'Till the End of Time/FFVII/FFVIII Futuristic or steam punk themes damn it. bah, humbug!

. . . I'm really bored at work.

Huh? You realize you just contradicted yourself, right?

r.crisp @ Sep 16th 2008 9:15PM

Sorry Dip, but you're wrong. Having dragons in your game isn't the same as being a middle aged/dragon THEMED game. Don't correct someone if you aren't going to do it intelligently.

FFVII alternate modern day reality with Mako replacing Electricity and awesome Gun armed man and Warrior scientifically enhanced with the cells of another race!

FFVIII Alternate reality with electricity and magic. Uber cool hi-tech boats, bikes, cars and FLYING CITIES (and not stupid cloud cities either)

Star ocean till the end of Time: Weird sort of Matrix-ish theme set far into the future.

Cpen @ Sep 16th 2008 11:42AM

Sigh.. I wish it was Shining Force..

JAH75157 @ Sep 16th 2008 11:43AM

dragon crystal maybe?

d.w. @ Sep 16th 2008 11:48AM

Would it be too much to hope for a Skies of Arcadia sequel?

ajrobin @ Sep 16th 2008 11:48AM

A new Samurai Jack game? The dragon looks that style and SEGA published the previous game.

Maverick Saturn @ Sep 16th 2008 11:51AM

That is probably the cheapest, most tacky flash splash page I have ever seen -_-

That did little or nothing to get me hyped.

Taylor @ Sep 16th 2008 11:55AM

Personally I'm a huge fan of the old SNES RPGs. They were the best of any of the consoles. The music alone on this teaser got me excited.

duckhunt8 @ Sep 16th 2008 12:01PM

Shenmue 3.

dmd @ Sep 16th 2008 12:05PM

Ahn... phantasy star, anyone? It might be good. An we're are in desperate need of ANY rpg on the console, for that matter. So dont be so picky! Lets make it an 'yay-news' for now, shall we?

farfisa @ Sep 16th 2008 12:12PM

Wow, I thought that image was one of those mocked up "i can haz rpg now?" funny graphics, but with a dragon instead of a kitten.
But no. It's real!

Kspraydad @ Sep 16th 2008 12:13PM

What on the page makes us believe it is anything for SONY at all? Rumour has it as a DS game. Or did I miss something?

Popfrogs @ Sep 16th 2008 12:20PM

Well we have Dreamcast-ish music to start with, then it kicks out some Genesis or SNES-style tunes.

What has Sega done that has been on multiple consoles besides Phantasy Star?

DarklighterPS3 @ Sep 16th 2008 12:37PM

How do we know this game is for a Playstation system at all. I mean there are 2 major console/handheld brands so it could be a Nintendo game.

Simstim @ Sep 16th 2008 12:44PM

Hope against hope for a new Dragon Force game

mcx @ Sep 16th 2008 12:48PM

How bout Panzer Dragoon Saga (RPG) ?? Not much of an RPG fan but did like the first one it was based off Panzer Dragoon back on the Saturn.

farfisa @ Sep 16th 2008 12:54PM

Gotta say, as bad as the Flash work was, the music gets good at the end!
..but yeah, nothing indicating any connection to a Sony product that I can see!

Laurens Holst @ Sep 16th 2008 1:47PM

I wouldn’t say it sounds 8-bit… that’s more of a 16-bit-sound. 8-bit is blips, this is more SNES-like FM/wave sound.

Gambit07 @ Sep 16th 2008 1:56PM

SEGA has been going downhill for a while now, but I might just pick up Valkyria Chronicles. This game seems like a Wii game to me.

estarriol @ Sep 16th 2008 2:32PM

If it's a remake or sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga I will buy whichever hardware it's on on release date. That was one of the greatest games ever and worth owning a Saturn for on its own.
