First I tell u my opinion about ff13 sales. Its sales in west have amazed me, its a massive success here and cud become the best selling ff here behind FF7 and it deserves it as its one of the best. but in japan ff13 flopped, thts the truth tht shud be accepted. it got less sales than ff6. Square enix is back to square one there.
how will ff be revived in Japan?
this is pattern:
Peak - 4 Million - 1997 (with FF7)
3.5 Million - 1998 (FF8)
3 Million - 2001 (FFX)
2.7 Million - 2000 (FFIX)
2.5 Million - 1994 (FFVI)
2.4 Million - 2006 (FFXII)
1.9 Million - 2009 (FFXIII)
so from a peak of 4 million ff has halved in strength in japan. all success and fans gained from ff7 are lost as the series did worse than ever there (worst since ff4). the popularity buiilt ovr 16 years from 1994's ff6 success is gone. maybe jp like turn based ff's more?
how will ff be revived in Japan?
