Final Fantasy already had a fanbase and several games in the US before the FF7 explosion. Mistwalker and Lost Odyssey, not so much. It's going to take more than just "lol marketing" to make the splash people want this game to make.

Calling a $100 million dollar marketing blitz (more than most movies today get) "lol marketing" just shows your ignorance, not to mention the fact that many of FFVII's fans had never played RPGs before, so your previous fanbase comments are just outright false in the success of FFVII.

I'm sorry but I don't see a $100 marketing blitz for Lost Odyessey, that's why it's "lol marketing," which shows just how ignorant YOU are. For Lost Odyssey to be the phenomenom the people in this thread desperately want it's going to need Halo 3-level marketing. I don't know about you but I've yet to see Lost Odyssey Mountain Dew.

I was just posting a hypothetical.

And pretending like 3 FF's weren't released prior to FFVII is not only false, it's moronic.

I did not deny the FF games. I just pointed out that VII's fans were mostsly new to all RPGs, even the previous FF games. And sales prove it. Just look at the American section of sales of FF games. 

Square even renamed the first Mana and first 3 SaGa games to Final Fantasy on the GB just to capitalized on the FF brand name. They made Final Fantasy Mystic Quest specifically for the US to bring even more people into the franchise, and released it in Japan under the title "Final Fantasy USA." So FF7 fanboys can pretend like there was no pre-established Final Fantasy brand name, that it didn't exist, that there was no fanbase or whatever idiotic notions are going on in this thread just to worship FF7, but history, and all of Square's actions up to that point, completely contradict that silly bullshit.

Final Fantasy had a fanbase. It was a pre-established franchise. Deal with it.

I didn't write that it had no fanbase. I wrote, "false in the success of FFVII". That doesn't mean the fanbase isn't there. It just means the success was not due to the fanbase.
