So, it seems a lot of people are expecting over 1 million for the Last Story. I hope it does it. And a couple people think it might pass the 1.8 million ffxiii numbers. I had no idea this thingg was so big.

That's because it really isn't...

It reminds be a bit of Killzone 2.

At best it looks like a Final Fantasy knock off, from the name, to the posters, the music, it's a Final Fantasy game.

The internet knows it but not the people out there, the consumers who aren't as aware as we are of these kind of things. So that's why the hype looks impressive when you go on a forum but it won't translate the same in real actual sales. That's the problem with most new IPs.

Look at God Eater. It had very good sales for a new IP and was a good game but it never reached Monster Hunter numbers. Not that anyone expected it, though.

That's why I'm really surprised anyone would expect The Last Story to do FF-like numbers.

Its being advertised like a Final Fantasy. Store placements month before launch, adverts on TV for the conference.

Are you sure that ad was on TV? I thought it was only a promotional video on the internet.

It was on TV.

Proof? lol
