... interesting to note that both sites were registered via TUCOWS.COM CO., the same people that are listed on other XSeed titles such as trailsinthesky.com, solatorobo.com, fragiledreamswii.com, etc.

What say you XSeed?!

[Shizuka]

They're probably just being cautious, or they're working on the game already. Chances are the latter is the accurate one.

[Talmire]

I certainly hope it's the latter.

[NatsuChan]

Yaaaaaaay!

1. It could be some fans trolling.

2. Tom is already working on the game 's translation, which explains his absence for the last 4 months. :p

I was expecting a surprised announcement at E3 about the game, but...
Well, looks like we won't have our answer soon. *Cricket* :D

[Talmire]

I'm worried about it being number 1 as well, but doesn't it cost money to domain a site?

[ZeikTheGeek]

Indeed it does cost money to own a domain.

[Talmire]

Thought so. It would seem rather stupid then for someone to troll by doing that, then.

[SnM]

Hurray~ High hopes for the sequel, but then I would be incredibly sad if this turns out to be a hoax. The anxiety is killing me. Quick! Somebody give me an answer! Anything!

[Minneyar]

Indeed it does cost money to own a domain.

It does, but it's very cheap. It's like $15/year to register a .com domain. A small price to pay for trolling... although in this case it seems more likely that XSEED has legitimately registered the domain.

I know at least for a while that it was a common practice for people to grab domain names that would be great for businesses and then the business would pay a ridiculous amount of money to get that domain name. I'm hopeful of course that this isn't the case here and that some particular company is working on the sequel.

[Mr. Detective]

Yeah, I am hoping that XSEED was the one who bought the domain as well.

But after the case between modernwarfare3.com and battlefield3.com, this kinda worries me a bit. :)

[Talmire]

It's only $15~? I thought it was up around 200... Maybe it is trolls then.

[Ivy]

I don't think anyone would care enough to target this game or even company for the sake of being an asshat, seems legitimate in either XSEED taking caution or already working on it/planning to work on it.

Could be what Ryos said, though I sincerely hope not.

[animeftw999]

really hope we get it
