| Jin_Shihouin said: I beat DQVIII and thought it was one of the best and best looking ps2 games. And DQ IX looks great on the DS. Granted, the games are Level 5 developed but it's not like they are not putting enough effort in it. As advertising in Japan is concerned you can bet it's just as huge for a DQ games as for a FF game. They got the biggest entertainment group of Japan (SMAP) to star in the DQVII, VIII and IX CMs too. |
They did some pretty inventive commercials for DQIX. But what I was trying to describe was how they've basically been advertising and hyping FFXIII for 2-3 years. I mean...you don't put up huge banner ads on the side of buildings in Downtown LA a year before the game even comes out for Dragon Quest. Yet they did for Final Fantasy XIII.... Was this really necessary? What could they possibly manage to gain from this stunt when its more than a year till launch in America and hardly anyone in Japan will see it? In short, its a waste of money they could have put into a dozen other spaces, including advertising of Dragon Quest (in America) or one of their many other franchises like Front Mission or Mana.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
