You shouldn't decide to buy a game because it is selling well. Most of the best games I've played seem to have sold to only me and a niche group of people. All I can say about VC is that I tried it after never having played an SRPG before and I have to say that it's one of the best games I've played in my life. I say this even before completing the game.
This game made me sleep only about 5 hours in 2 days because it's just that much fun that I had to stay up at night to figure out difficult missions (Selvaria and Chapter 7 lol).
I bought the game after watching some youtube videos and hearing so much praise and I haven't regretted it one bit. Looking back, if I'd have known the game was as good as it is, I'll even buy it for $100.
Sadly, I can't tell you who this game would appeal to exactly. I can only say what my background is. I'm primarily a JRPG head. I also like a couple fighting game series and any action adventure game with swords. I have now added FPS games to my genre pool as of this gen due to their overabundance relative to the lack of JRPGs (at least on ps3). Hope this helps.
I think people say this game would be expensive later because it is somewhat characteristic of an overlooked gem that people end of considering much after it's production ends.
