Dying for this game to be revived for the next generation, I think it would do so well with the popularity of card games, the strategy behind each battle...that and the creator wants to make it...I need it guys!
So will we ever get a phantom dust sequel?

As great as the game was, it was too odd. One, yeah it's technically a card game, but it's gameplay is accomplished through action oriented combat. Not a turn based strategy. Plus, let's be honest here, card games in mass tend to only be popular among die hards and kids. This doesn't exactly have the Magic the Gathering label on it either. Maybe that's the trick? MtG can get these guys to make a game for them. Will say this though, PD was one of the best looking games on the original xbox and still holds up in my opinion. I'll even go so far as to say that it's my favorite Japanese game, at least on the xbox.Dying for this game to be revived for the next generation, I think it would do so well with the popularity of card games, the strategy behind each battle...that and the creator wants to make it...I need it guys!

Game was amazing and I'd definitely buy a new one. Hell if they just remade the old one with new graphics i'd still buy it. It is hands down my favorite game to ever grace an xbox platform.
I doubt we'll ever see this game again, but I'll surely pray to the gaming gods every night.

Game was fun to play, period. Should be on both consoles if made or remade. JRPG lovers should not miss out on it. (I'm playing on my old Xbox right now. *LOL*)
So I knew tweeting tons of phantom dust fans would eventually get them to tweet Phil on a Phantom Dust 2 sequel the pestering has gained a response
a single string of hope but you never know.

I'll take it.
To be honest I think the story/environment were probably a bit off-putting for most people. I wouldn't mind if they made that a bit more accessible, as long as it had the same great gameplay.
Scores as a 7/8. Only sold 110k world wide. So a so-so game that didn't sell. A sequel is unlikely unless someone is really needing to lose money.
It would work beautifully as a digitally only title perhaps like killer instinct or warzone (f2p) get people invested into their own characters and cards and make pure bank on it - pretty much the same thing their doing for crimson dragon except on a bigger scale.
If by suck you mean one of the most amazing games available on any console then yes!
Played it, didn't like and I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic games so you guessed wrong. Sales were dismal even with a $20 price point and it's been 8 years since it's release, can't see a reason why they would bother but stranger things have happened.
I mean maybe it could come back as a Xbox Live title but no chance of a full blown release. Just MO though so don't get too butt hurt.
While sales were not good, it still has a very loyal play-base, that alone distinguishes it from most other poor-selling games. There is reason to believe here that past performance is not a predictor of future prospects.
I think an Xbox Live release is perfect for this title. It could be like another State of Decay, a smaller game that can thrive in the digital environment. A f2p title, as chosenpredator suggested, would be very appropriate for a title like this. It's almost like Phantom Dust was a game made for a time like this.I mean maybe it could come back as a Xbox Live title but no chance of a full blown release.

Those games had some crazy ass budgets though. Phantom Dust budget was no where near as big.
Nah, you are missing the point. Phantom Dust is much more likely to get a sequal than those games. For the simple fact that the budget is much smaller.
It's like arguing which is most likely to be captured first, a unicorn or Godzilla. It's been 8 years, it ain't gonna happen.
Who knows? It took Nintendo, the masters of milking existing IPs, more than two decades to come back to Kid Icarus.
