Note the loading bar style and the very, very faint music (Turn your speakers way up)

Anybody recognize anything?

No idea what it is, but I guess a NES games or very early SNES game.

SAGA series, see the big "4" below the counter.

I don't know how the 4 would symbolize SAGA

That's one helluva teaser...definitely has music reminiscent of the old days, but aside from that, I have no idea what this is for. The art on the page kinda reminds me of Legend of Mana...

Only 225 hours till the truth is revealed!

Same. I swear I've heard this before, I can't remember where though...

Neues Romancing SaGa geplant? Tomomi Kobayashi arbeitet für Square Enix

26.06.09 - Es verdichten sich die Anzeichen dafür, dass bei Square Enix womöglich an Romancing SaGa 4 gearbeitet wird. Nach der heutigen Meldung über eine Countdown Website, die auf eine derartige Entwicklung hinweist, meldet sich jetzt auch der Zeichner Tomomi Kobayashi in seinem Blog zu Wort.

Kobayashi schreibt, dass er gerade mit Square Enix zusammenarbeitet und Illustrationen an den Publisher geliefert hat. Es ist das erste Mal seit zehn Jahren, dass er mit Square Enix wieder arbeiten würde.

Kobayashi war verantwortlich für alle Charakter-Illustrationen der SaGa-Serie, so dass vielleicht ein Romancing Saga 4 in Arbeit ist.

Did some google search before go to bed.
So it is highly likely a new SaGa game.

Nice find utunnels, in light of that Romancing Saga 4 would make the most sense then.

Yeah, my guess would be either Mana or Saga related.  The art looks more in tune with the Mana series, but the 4 could easily be Saga 4...

For those of us who don't speak fluent German:

New Romancing SaGa planned? Tomomi Kobayashi works for Square Enix starting 26.06.09 - The signs consolidate themselves for the fact that Square Enix is possibly working on Romancing SaGa 4 . After the today's message countdown of the website, which refers to such a development, the draughtsman Tomomi Kobayashi also announces himself in his own words to his blog. Kobayashi writes that he co-operates straight with Square Enix and supplied illustrations to the publisher. It is the first time for ten years that he would work with Square Enix. Kobayashi was responsible for all character illustrations of the SaGa series, so perhaps a Romancing Saga 4 is in work.

Babelfish left ALOT of broken and gratuitous English, so I paraphrased and cleaned it up a bit.

It has been updated again. This time with a dragon rider?



BTW, it was also said that "4" may refer to "光の4戦士 (Hikari no 4 Senshi / 4 Warriors of Light)", a trademark that SE registered this year.

Does the kid look familiar to anyone? His face looks kinda like the kid from FFTA. Although "4 Warriors of Light" really reminds me of Final Fantasy I...and with the pseudo-oldschool music, perhaps that's the image they're trying to evoke?
