[edit] This game hasn't even been properly announced yet.

This is what the article states...
"[Dark Cloud 2] was announced at E3 2004 and development has supposedly been ongoing ever since."

Meanwhile, this is what both external links (IGN and GameStats) say...
"This title was originally rumored to be in production (and listed on a mistakenly printed SCE planning sheet at E3 2004), but reports later denied that the listing was correct and that this title was what was on tap next for the developer (indeed, the next game from the team was something completely different.) There may be a third Dark Cloud sometime in the future, but the leaks that led to the rumors are not the proof that this game is happening at this time."
Furthermore, I don't see anything on GameStats.com indicating anything about a possible release date. This error also appears on the Level-5 page as well. In fact, I don't see ANY verification for almost all of the relevant information on this page!

We need to do something about this. This is obviously a necessary change, but it's also a significant one. I don't mean to be a pain, but I don't feel comfortable taking on the task of rewriting this entire article myself, as I don't think I'm a very affluent Wikipedia writer. So I'd appreciate if someone else could help fix this article with me. I've written this small blurb for the article:

"Though a printed SCE planning sheet indicated that the game was to appear at E3 2004, later reports cited that the listing was a misprint (ref. here). Level-5 is currently working on Jeanne d'Arc and White Knight Story, and had been working on Dragon Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy throughout most of 2004 and 2005, respectively; so while Dark Cloud 3 is still a future possibility, there has been no official confirmation of the game's development or existence."

If you think this is good enough for the article, please put it in... otherwise, fix it up and put it in. Thanks much.
