Abyss was a great game. I can testify to that. Still, tales has nothing on FF's popularity. If M$ had secured FF13 exclusivity, 360 would've sold .5mil on day 1 of the game's release in JP.
FF and DQ are popular by name alone in JP. Funny enough, storywise, Abyss>>Ff12. I prefer FF12's gameplay though.
Its almost like SMT going exclusive to 360. Sure a bunch of die hard fans like myself who would buy it on day one would purchase a 360 for it even though I hate multiple consoles. SMT is too hard to resist except the game gets very bad reviews. SMT is not the kind of series where you wait for a price drop because you'll only get a price hike when the scalpers have all the copies left lol. Hopefully M$ won't pay for SMT....I doubt they think it matters lol.
Rant over. Conclusion: Tales is not that big of a deal. Its not even a big deal period. No JRPG outside FF and DQ are a big deal anywhere! |
Yes it is.
Tales > Every other RPG series ever.

Its only your opinion. I could say the same of SMT yet no iteration of either series has even broken 1 mil judging by your chart. on the other hand, FF remakes that the whole world has played still break 1 mil easily. Even a questionable DQ game on wii broke a mil yet Tales couldn't make it on PS2/PS1
