| BW_JP said: The game was not made by square-enix, so i have no idea why anyone would think Final Fantasy: Nier would be okay. SE published it. They also published Batman Arkham Asylum. Cavia developed the game. Makers of Drakengard. Nier is probably one of the best games this year too. |
However, is Nier a Square-Enix IP? Because Dragon Quest VIII was developed by level-5, but is obviously a square-enix IP
Because Batman obviously isn't Square-Enix IP (TSquare-Enix just publish a lot of things in japan, such as MW2)
I don't think it bomb in Japan, as per their expectations, and it debuting #1.
I do think it will bomb in the US/Others though. Because of the reception it's been getting (which is ugly/experiemental/some good reviews, some poor reviews 71 metacritic). But then again, since it's a new IP, it depends what square enix is expecting for the western audience. As it's obviously not expected to do Final Fantasy Like Numbers.
