This was posted way earlier this month but I somehow managed to come across it today. So Victor isn't finished just yet bringing awesome JRPGs to the US market. First of all, I must say this new company name sucks. It really really sucks. Second of all, didn't he say before that he wanted to focus now on bringing Japanese XBOX360 games to the US? I don't know what games in the Japanese 360 are worth bringing over here, if there are any at all. I always figured most Japanese developers ignored the XBOX since there is a much larger audience on the other consoles and handhelds there. But hey, if there are some unique games on the xbox360 then I guess it would be awesome to see them here with Victors style of localization.
Which makes me believe it's not going to be an Xbox/360 project. He mostly went off on some rant about how it was all Sony's fault that he had a difficult time in bringing decade old RPGs to the latest system on the market.

Maybe he's settled down some and realized it was his own damned fault and realized his install base probably would not exist without Sony being around. I guess it could be a XBox 360 project but you make a good point that there really aren't any Japanese 360 games even in the works that would fit his traditional style.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes pretty much what I meant with my comment. Yes they established themselves with the Sega CD, however they only met mild success on the Sega CD if because of anything the Sega CD hardware sold horribly. They didn't exactly meet with a huge amount of success with their Saturn releases either.

Sony built a huge RPG fanbase with the PS1 and in turn likely built a large RPG niche fanbase along with it. If I remember correctly, wasn't that the reason WD decided to start publishing games (specifically RPGs) on the PS1 rather than sticking with the Saturn? Wasn't the Lunar remaked canned for the Saturn simply because Vick didn't believe the Saturn had a large enough RPG fanbase to make the remake worthwhile?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
