It's one of my favorite games of all time and one of the greatest RPGs ever made. The one biggest regret I had about it was that it never had the sales to reflect its quality. It was released right at the end of the Wii's life cycle when it was already dead, everyone had moved on to next Gen, and its release was rather limited... Almost didn't even happen (Remember Operation: Rainfall?) And then it got a port to the New 3DS which butchered its sales potential even more. Now we'll finally get to see it live up to its TRUE potential.

Buy this, play this, and you'll thank me later!

The Wii wasn't doing all that badly in the summer of 2011, plus the game came out in 2010 in Japan during one of the strongest years in Nintendo's history. Over 100 million software sales in Fiscal 2012. For comparison's sake, more software sold on the Wii than the lifetime total software shipped to the Wii U. It's also about 50% the total software that has shipped to the Switch over the course of its lifetime, not too bad for a system you considered to be dead at the time.
