I apologize for blindly assuming you were an ignorant US resident, your post suggested as much. But I have to ask, If you yourself live in a PAL country and know how things roll here, why do you place blame on the gamers and act like these kinds of titles are all readily available just asking to be picked up, when that is never usually the case? And why do you try to offset VivaLaWiida's post by nitpicking a number of lower profile JRPG's that sold better in US regions? You're not giving enough (or any) credit to the performance of higher profile JRPG's, while focusing too much on the smaller titles of the past, which - a lot of the time - European regions don't even get, or if they're lucky enough to get, don't get any promotion and are in limited numbers. |
1. Because gamer indifference played a huge part in the success/release/failure.
2. ...and that's exactly why I prefer to offset the examples. High profile. Genuine RPG fan interest can be really measured there, my point is that the whole situation is like that because PAL gamers lack interest in comparison to states gamers. I also gave decent examples of mid to high tier RPG's, nothing niche as hell.
