Wow, you're a tough cookie. Brawl sold 2.37M in Japan, Smash 64 sold 1.97M. I think with the help of FF VII IPs they can boost their Japan sales to 1.50M with proper branding and labelling. Now add to that the western appeal of these franchises, and the userbase of their respective games, and you have something that can not only attract the traditional Sony audience in the West, but a new casual audience worldwide, as well as a Square fanbase in Japan.

If it doesn't work, it at least helps bump the meter up by 1Mil imho.

Final Fantasy Dissidia had FF VII characters and didn't sell anywhere close to 1.5m in Japan, so it's highly unlikely that a fighting game with far less known characters than the FF franchise would manage to get to that mark.

I think the Final Fantasy characters will only give visibility, but the Smash genre has already proven itself in Japan. If and when they'll see FF characters, the title will get visibility, then by word of mouth I am certain it will spread. It's basically Smash but with its own twist. It should sell well, the Japanese seemed to like it if 3M is any indicator . And the holidays always help, worldwide.
