I have no idea why :/ i think that in a part of the world where a generic shooter is top there isnt much room for games that involve slow progression games which JRPG's quite often are. FF13 did prove though that its not impossible for JRPG's  sell insane numbers. But new IP's often fall flat :/ (though tales of grace does sometimes do very well)

Final Fantasy, as you say, is an established series. They always sell well, no matter the quality. The fact that new IP's sell very few numbers in the UK shows that there isn't a market there, and that most consumers are ignorant to the fact that the genre even exists

urh its so annoying :/ even half the people i know that get ff games dont even know there rpg's O.o 

Its a shame realy :/

It is, sadly, you can't change the public image. You have to trust the developers to do that. You can only raise awareness...
