If he's involved, I'm excited, and I love RPG's! I can't wait 'till the 26th!

With all the respect to Koshiro, the real big news here is that Rieko Kodama is involved.

Phoenix Rie designed Phantasy Star.

It's a lady.

BTW if a Japanese first name ends with "ko" chances are ITSA LAAADY.

"Designed" perhaps doesn't make justice to her (correct word but not strong enough in this case) - she literally created most of the aspects of the game. Because of this, I have little doubt that she is one of the most talented game designers Sega ever had. The first PS is an all-time masterwork and waay ahead of its time.

I heard that the creator of Etrian Odyssey is also involved.

You beat me to this.

I think i'm ready to buy this game sight unseen knowing she's involved.

Well, I couldn't find any update on IGN's site, but the game's site has been updated:

http://dragon.sega.jp/

7th Dragon and then a word in Japanese I don't know. There's a trailer on the site, as well. Could anyone who knows Japanese please tell us what you can gather from the site?

More importantly, it's for DS.

(as always).

Somehow I read that as "stop enuresis".

Maybe they will port Y's (incidentally, wasn't Koshiro the composer / sound programmer for the original Ys?).

Same thing.

It is interesting to note that before the DS is done, it will probably be the best RPG machine of all time.

Having just played the whole thing, I wholeheartedly agree with you there.
