I want out.

 

"You dont have my permission to leave, your punishment must be more severe"

Doode... "Heres what you did, you got cocky and spewed out":

"Final Fantasy XIII enjoys stellar reviews. It ended up getting a direct sequel and probably, for the first time in FF history, even a second one. Between Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, the project has sold 9.6 million units worldwide, in these market conditions:"

"Jesus noob pwning Christ...What are you talking about, it has nothing to do with the console market and I'm not focusing on the PS3. It's the INDUSTRY, the japanese gaming industry. FF is not an RPG it's a gadman JAPANESE RPG, thus my referal to the very specific market conditions.  How on earth could have XIII-2 sold more than XIII ?!?!?"

FF13's reputation was so 'stellar' as you put it, the sequel sold less copies than the predecessor?

I thought FF13 was a console RPG... How can it have nothing to with PS3? (Thats amusing).

And FYI, you should do some research, FF13 was not designed to be an RPG, it was influenced by Call of Duty and Lost the tv show. Hence why I consider the developers incompitent.

"By market conditions I obviously refer to the wildly known fact that was only mentioned a post ago, that japanese games are doing badly, very badly. Are you mocking me in my face talking about Skyrim ? What on earth does skyrim has to do with anything concerning the slowly dying japanese gaming industry ? Its't not 1998 anymore, that's a long gone market. Square's expectations were lower and yes XIII managed to be by far one of the best selling Japanese games."

"The japanese gaming industry has taken a huge blow. That is an overall observation of this gaming generation and you are looking the other way. Especially rpgs. Mentioning Pokemon is not helping your case."

"Mentioning a bunch of Nintendo titles doesn't mean anything about the Japanese gaming industry. Pokemon is doing well, no shit Sherlock ! Dragon Quest X is not out yet and Monster Hunter is doing well in Japan."

Nintendo has nothing to do with a 'dying' Japanese game industry now. "JESUS Noob Pawning Christ". Lol (That one made me laugh)

"The fact that XIII's gameplay had mixed reception is irrelevant to the reason why XIII-2 was made. They would not have made a sequel to an unsuccessful game. For the first time a numbered FF was basically an rpg / action hybrid, of course it would cause mixed reactions."

Theres just one question. If FF13 was as stellar as you claim why has FF13-2 sold less copies? A lot less copies

We should let other publishers know when your sequel sells less than half the copies of its precessor, its is a 'stellar' success. Get Activision and Cacpom on the phone, we have the jump on Michael Pacter now!

And how can FF13's gameplay have a mixed recpetion and stellar reviews at the same time? The notions are mutually exclusive. (Lol, its highly amusing when you contradict yourself).

If you cant respond to my posts, because I'm a 'troll' you dosent accept you bullshit. Then respond to your own posts. "JESUS Noon pwning Christ" COULD IT BE... GASP...NO...ITS NOT...POSSIBLE... That you've been completely exposed and thus have gone into hiding!!

These are your posts not mine. Respond to them!!

One more thing:

The shareholders et al, set a 6 mil expectation for FF13. But the reality of the situation is:

http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/news/square-enix-final-fantasy-xiii-will-outsell-final-fantasy-vii--710.html

FF13 was designed to 'be the greatest single player RPG experience' (Toriyama). Which it failed to meet. And it was meant to sell 10 mil copies. Which it also didnt meet. But yeah thats all Final Fantasy 11 and 14s fault. FF13 has no culpability in the degration of this franchise. They changed FF13-2 formula because FF13 has such a 'stellar' reception. I'm troll because I dont accept that FF11, the most successful game in the franchise history has 'greatly damamged' the franchise. FF11 is not accountable for FF13's shortcomings, FF14 has damaged the franchise, but FF13 has devestated the franchise. Thats my opinon, which I was ready to discuss, but you instead thought you would dictate orders.

I tried to end things diplomatically, even appologising, and walking away reasonabiliy. You called me out, you harassed me on my wall. Now you've gone into hiding because you cant defend your own words. Correct me where I am mistaken here.
