| KLucifer said: unless the title of the game says Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, or Pokemon on the cover somewhere....90% chance that JRPG will not sell over a million...last gen...we saw 3 "main" FF titles...3 dragon quest titles....all of the kingdom heart series....and let's forget pokemon....all those little kids buy them up anyways... this gen....we're already into the 3rd year we have yet to see any titles from the BIG 3 JRPG....and FFXIII isn't coming out till late this year....and Kingdom Hearts...we're never going to know...and dragon quest X...who's know when... this is just my opinion...but those BIG 3 games are affecting how people's perspective on which direction JRPG is headed....everyone thinks JRPG is doing so bad...and doing worse than last gen...but if you actually look at the numbers...they're not doing bad...it's just that not as much quantities of JRPGs are coming out as last gen....and i think that's another reason affecting people's perspective as well...quantities of released JRPG last gen....around the 3rd year...2nd FF game was already coming out..and there were already preview of 2nd kingdom hearts game...but this gen...the first one of any of the BIG 3 has yet been released... i think there's alot of people who are going to argue against my opinion...but like i said...this is entirely my opinion of why people think JRPG aren't as good as last gen... with all that said and done....i dont think there really is any future growth for JRPG unless that specific JRPG game can get it's reputation/popularity up there with the BIG 3 |
Yes and I have mention the Big 3 in my post.But I just get the feeling that Tales Of Ten is going to be big.And with the TOV movie that is coming out in theaters in Japan this year it might boast the popularity of the tales series to a whole nother level.
Im just being hopefully.
