I like this topic. as for the sales, it could go either way really. some fans have been turned off because of FF13, so it might sell less than 13.
although we know its an action RPG, simmilar to Kingdom Hearts, and Normura was asked to look at third person shooters for inspiration. but we dont yet know how that will affect the gameplay. so i have an idea that it will be very fast like bayonetta and the game will be structured like assassins creeed 1 & 2 with NPCs, towns etc. (these arnt confirmed though).
so already its on a different playing field from FF13, so it could well sell like crazy to people who wouldnt normally buy FF. and dont forget linear dungeons arnt important to action games.
however heres the catch 22, its being developed by Nomura. i personally thought the characters and the story in advent children were unrealistic and pretty bland. and sadly it looks to be the same for FFv13. but we'll see.
