Ask Gamestop: FFXIII, Fishy! Fishy!

[ookaze]

The bitter tears and the meltdown are epic in this thread.
Let me shed my bitter tears too. I will have bitter tears if the localised version is delayed because of the port. That's because by then it's highly likely I will lose the little incentive I have to play the game.

Anyway, I share the thinking that MS paid a lot of money to get this game.
That's because none of the excuses make any sense.
Like said time and time again:
- Why delay the localised version? None of the other multiplatform games are delayed because of a port, only this game. Especially since that alienates your user base, and SE knows that pretty well, as they promised to reduce the span between japanese and western releases. This makes no sense unless it was paid for.
- Why only this game has an announced port for XB360? That makes no sense at all to announce it when the PS3 ports are not talked about at all, and the port hasn't not even started to be made. Unless it was paid for.
- Why no information on the Wii games from SE, the Wii which has the biggest userbase in Japan, while lots of talk is made around this main FF game?

Anyway, like I said numerous times, I expect FFXIII to break even now. I expected it to flop before if it was PS3 exclusive, and I can feel the fear within SE. I still expect FF to lose its status of flagship franchise, and the original Enix franchise Dragon Quest to take over. Ironically, DQ is far better positionned on the DS to take over SE flagship franchise.
