So...Treasure. Any signs of life?

I seriously don't understand how Star Ocean still is alive.

Yeah, they definitely seem to have successfully melded their shooting with the modern mobile platform. But...none of that stuff has come over here, unfortunately.

It's a service game, so they'd need to partner with a publisher in order to run an English version.

The same is true of putting their games on Switch or wherever else--they're entirely willing to license them to other people to publish/port, it's just that nobody's biting aside from M2.

The real question is, where are the former staff now and what are they up to?

Remember: games are made by people, not companies

Iuchi is at M2. His day job is programming on assorted projects M2 has, along with some gameplay design/supervision. He is also directing a new shooter for PS4 but it's not a priority project since it's an internal self-funded thing M2 is letting him work on.

Going from Treasure to M2 sounds like a very appropriate job progression
