That means review copies have been sent out already? VGC hasn't received ours yet...



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

According to GAF the complains about FFCB are:

Bad camera
Long tutorial
Average length, only 15-20 hours long
Sparse NPC reaction

Long tutorial? ... Then I'll give Kingdom Hearts Days a 4/10

How often do Famitsu reviews predict sales? I would think we should clear that up before assuming this won't sell well because of that.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Is VGC getting a Japanese review copy?

Exactly.  Games like ArcRise Fantasia and Muramasa:  The Demon Blade received decent to great reviews (8s and 9s?), and neither one of those games did particularly huge business, sales-wise.

Still, while that score isn't as high as it could be, it's by no means an indicator on how this game will fare.

Few times actually. I remember some comments about Sega and how the Famitsu review helped 428 to rise sales, but just a little. Sales are more based in franchise recognition and hype actually.

This game needs bundling. Sony does it all the time, and it has been quite helpful thus far, especially for establishing fledgling franchises (see Uncharted).

At least they DID make an effort to advertise the game in Japan, though; although given its obviously Western influence, I see it being bigger in the U.S. than in Japan (it'll still manage to clear more than 100K though, making it another 100K seller for Wii).

Isn't there a bundle for this game, or was that for Tales?
