Well...

I don't think so.

FF sells because of, what Malstrom calls "spectacle" - big production values and story.

It's pointless do detract from the game the main things that sell it, and, sorry, but the Wii crowd proved that they care about gameplay, not graphics, soundtrack or story.

Porting FF from HD to Wii makes as much sense as porting Wii sports to the current HD consoles (without the motion controllers).


wrong. Wii owners care about gameplay, soundtrack and story, NOT graphics. is how it should of been written.

porting to the wii?? very bad idea. most 3rd party games sell like shit on the Wii putting FFXIII there would be suicide and they know it

 

keyword here being MOST. but ALL that most is either nichie or total garbage games.

FFXIII would beone of those that would sell. Just wait for DQX. you will see how well that sells (assuming SE dont move it again).

 

Nope, you're wrong :)

If most Wii owners would've cared for these things, they wouldn't have bought a Wii, after all, how can... well, a console with no game that is popular because of it's story compare to a console with MGS4, FF13, Valkyria Chronicles etc.

Pepole buy Wii because they want GAMEPLAY, don't fool yourself.

story does not always equal watching multiple 10min plus long movies. Most nintendo core games do have a story to tell. This is what the core audience want.

Just because the wii has a big userbase doesn't mean we are all core gamers. The core 3rd party games don't sell because most lack gameplay and story. It is that simple.

 

Story also doesn't count for having no Story, like Wii sports/resort, play, fit or fit plus, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy or Brawl.

The only "core" Nintendo games that have a story are Zelda and Metroid, and guess what? Metroid Prime  3 sold a little bit more than HALF of what MP1 sold, on a console with two times and a half of the userbase, the difference between Zelda WW and TP is also small enough to prove your point wrong.

Again, MOST Wii owners don't care about the story in their games, if they would, they would buy the other consoles, with games that are CONFIRMED to have better story than most of everything the Wii has, instead of waiting YEARS for a game with a good story.

Er, have you actually played Mario Galaxy?  It's the most storyline focused Mario game yet, and easily comparable to any other story-heavy platformer.  Brawl has an insane/complex narrative running through it actually, with tons of high end CG and was written by the guy (Nojima) who did scenarios for FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFX-2, Crisis Core and the entire Kingdom Hearts series.

Zelda TP massively outsold TWW too, it's actually the 2nd best selling game in the series if you combine SKUs.  And then there's other "story-focused" Nintendo series that sold better on Wii than GC, like Paper Mario, Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem.  Hell, even Metroid Prime 3 outsold 2 by a decent margin.

 

I don't really see your point... does GT3 being one of PS2's best selling game mean PS2 owners didn't care about story?  Since MGS4 didn't outsell MGS2, does that mean PS3 owners don't care about story?
