JRPG fans might get excited…

Industry insider Verendus, well known at the NeoGAF forums, has been dropping some very intriguing hints. For example, he's teased a brand new Suikoden , which would make all long-time JRPG aficionados cheer (even though it's "very far off").

But that was just the beginning; Verendus dropped a boatload of hints , many of which we haven't heard before. If even a small percentage are true, we could be looking at some very big news in 2015. There's the possibility of a Xenosaga HD Collection , Final Fantasy XII HD is "basically confirmed at this point," a new Virtua Fighter is in the works, and an unnamed IP "coming to PlayStation exclusively from Sega."

With all these collections and compilations out there, some JRPG fans are starting to speak up:

They want a Xenosaga HD Collection .

Bandai Namco boss Katsuhiro Harada has been receiving plenty of requests for such a collection, and while he can't make any guarantees, he has encouraged fans to keep talking. As he said on Twitter , it's going to take more than a few people to make it happen. In other words, just a couple hardcore fans emailing him about this won't bear any fruit. Said Harada:

"It has been a long time since Xenosaga has been released. It really brings back memories of those days they were developing the first Xenosaga staying up all night, when the Tekken project was also staying up all night on the same floor at [the] office."

Ah yes, the memories. So, if you want it, speak up!
