I just picked this up on sale this week after watching retrospective videos on it, and I absolutely love it. It’s definitely rough around the edges for sure, but I absolutely love how original and fresh it feels.
The world is super unique, and it’s really refreshing for an rpg game at that time to not be in a traditional medieval/high fantasy setting. Such a shame how it came out, it was in that weird spot being on the original Xbox in its last few months before the 360 came out. I wish there was a way this game could have been ported to the ps2 at the time to help with sales numbers. This game definitely deserved a sequel.
I’ll give that era of BioWare a lot of credit for Jade Empire. They wanted to have their own unique world, instead of just being known for using established IP’s like DNDverse or Star Wars type stuff.
Respawn-Delay on
I believe the publishing rights are back with BioWare, so it would be up to Electronic Arts to greenlight a sequel
