Jade Empire sequel

Heh, my first reaction was NO! Because my memory of Dragon Age was that it was everything that Jade Empire was not! Jade Empire was exotic, light, bright, uber- cool, while Dragon Age was conventional, dark and boring and way too overloaded with minutiae of gear and stuff. I just want that same feel of the game stripped down from the encumbernments of excessive gearing and inventory management, and far too complicated classes, and full on fun and action! In the most exotic setting possible!

i also would want the entirely different team on Jade Empire, because in the later years, despite the great quality of writing, they've lost the mischievous approach to lore and dialogues that blossomed in Jade Empire. Their later games are more ponderous. 

And the lore... aww, I want to play in JE setting, not have to restart Dragon Age and play through al, the DA games to learn all of it to just get an Easter egg.

All or nothing for me

Incidentally, this is why I latched into Blade and Soul so hard, it's the closest thing I've gotten to Jade Empire since that game.  Although the whole MMO thing sort of diminishes some of my fervor, as it did for SWTOR.  I would LOVE to play them as SP games, but that's impossible, obviously...alas...

I went into Boobs of Seul specifically because I wanted Jade Empire Reborn. I spent a few months fervently wishing that it had Jade Empires' Lore and Story married with that Art, Customization and Combat/Class design. And, uhm, reducing amount of mats necessary for upgrades by a factor of 10, not locking away your skills, and bringing in the versatility to the OW PvP and the Arenas/BGs. Yeah, I'd play it forever.

I've tried Revelation On-line for the same reason, but it's even more insulting to the player's intelligence and dignity than BnS and does not have classes/combat that makes you laugh gleefully.

Actually, pretty much everything you have mentioned is listed as the sources of the inspiration for Jade Empire:

I am sorry you did not like it. For me it was the most fun game BioWARE made till I played Mass Effect.

I've also always saw Jade Empire as the last title made out of love, because that was the end of the fairy tale about a couple of doctors making a game on their spare time out of their basement.

Also, unlike the actually Asian video games, it did not make me feel like I am touring Korean boys wet dreams as a primary source of plot-inspiration.
