lets face it... they all sold pretty badly.

For a JRPG BD did do crap sorta.

But for VC a game that had a really low budget + a low selling Genre of RPG... it did BETTER then any JRPG in general this gen, so please refrain from thorwin VC in with the bunch since its not quite the failure the rest semi were. (As far as Sales go.)

Lost Odyssey has something to say about that.

Furthermore, didn't sega create the "Canvas" engine for this game?  What's the rationale for calling it a low budget game?  Do we have proof of that?

As to the quality, VC is a damn good, and awfully fun game, I could not recommend it higher.  But damn, so was LO, I'd hate having missed one of these games.

Low budget probably comes from the advertising campaign, which was basically non-existent.  If you had to make a guess at which game was more costly between LO and VC, just based on the advertising campaign (which usually is related to the overall budget of the title) you would most likely guess LO.
