| Wagram said: As much as it might pain you to admit. There are people out there who think XII is exemplary. Just because some people hate it doesn't mean it's automatically garbage and the overall opinion. Same applies to XIII. The fans of these games aren't in denial either. They actually enjoyed the games. Also it is funny that you mention Mass Effect and DA. Mass Effect 2 slightly outsells the 1st by a few hundred thousand copys and the other failed to meet expectations. |
I've explained a bit about FF12 in my last post. maybe you love it, i think its very good, but not exceptional. i dont think any FF (spin off or main installment) has been exemplary since Sakaguchi left Sqaure (Amano's art style is missed as well). and i'm not saying FF13 is without its mertis, there are moments of magic in the game. but we all know what the general consensus is between critical reviewers and fans alike, and we dont need to go into that here.
it dosent matter if you did enjoy those games or not (i'm not debating that). i'm saying it dosent change their sales. it dosent change that FF12 and FF13 had years of development, cost tens of millions of dollars, had enormous marketing campagains, yet failed to reached the sales of previous entries. even when hiting the bargin bins relativey quickly compared to other titles on the market. if you still think FF is as popular now as it was when FF7 sold 10 mil copies, heck even when FF10 sold 8 mil copies, your dreaming.
Edit: your saying Mass Effect 2 sold more copies than ME1, thats means its a successful sequel. since the 360 version alone sold more than ME1. the PS3 version was icing on the cake. let me put it this way, do you consider FF10-2 an unsuccessful sequel since it sold a lot less than FF10? when FF13-2 sells less than half of FF13 will that be deemed a failure?
