Throughout the interview, Spencer reiterated recent Xbox commitments, such as the Xbox Ally, which was heavily advertised across the Tokyo Game Show convention center, while also touching on various known upcoming Xbox projects. Spencer also noted some of the most highly requested Xbox franchises for legacy IP, noting JRPGs Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, on top of Crimson Skies and MechAssault.
Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were both developed by Mistwalker, who recently released the previously Apple-exclusive Fantasian onto Xbox systems. Lost Odyssey is, without a doubt, one of the franchises I receive questions about most frequently, although Crimson Skies and MechAssault are also up there. Crimson Skies was a dieselpunk dogfighting aerial combat game, and MechAssault, as its name suggests, was a mech-brawler action game. None of the above franchises has seen any action for decades.
