Monolith Soft recruiting, shows off concept art for possible 3DS game

[Deleted_171835]

The developer mentioned it wanted to expand its staff in a recent Japanese-language interview, as spotted and translated by NeoGAF users.

Later, the company uploaded a piece of concept art to its Facebook page, linking to a recruiting drive for its Kyoto office.

The art shows a girl and some sort of creature, apparently peaceful companions, in a grove of large trees with grinning faces. The tone is exploratory rather than menacing.

The job ad and image has led to rampant speculation that Monolith Soft has a 3DS RPG in the works. X is in production at Monolith Soft’s Tokyo office, and the Kyoto, which opened in mid-2011, was recruiting for a 3DS project last year.

You could say that tree has wood.

If it is indeed another RPG that'd be a pretty cool thing, the games I've played from them were quite good, and the 3DS needs some boost in the RPG section IMHO.
