Someone explains this to me : FFXIII outsells Mass Effect 2 by 1'632'195 in the west

Just to say, I've not gone into "hiding". Nor did I insult Mass Effect, as I precised that I had not played Mass Effect and that therefore the comparison never was about quality. I just wanted to point out that the hate towards FFXIII was not justified. It still isn't, because even though I do admit that Mass Effect and Elder Scroll have taken the lead in the RPG world, FFXIII-2 got positive feedback (save for gamrreview but it did let the reviewer know his review was unwelcomed), not to mention the fact it still shows legs and outsells Mass Effect 3 on PS3.

As we know, the probability of an FFXIII-3 is growing, and I'm the first one happy about this, because I can't get enough of the Lightning saga. Still, I don't expect FF to recover saleswise and it will probably more or less fall in a sort of big niche, far from the big western games. But I've gotten used to this, because JRPGs and WRPGs are 2 opposite things. But again, I admit my defeat.

Lol, dont worry, that post was months ago. I was still upset with FF13 then. Now the dust has settled I appologise for my words. I'm dont care anymore because I think FF15 will be released and will be the greatest RPG of all time.

Your not the only one, I admit defeat because many of us crossed the line when talking about FF13. It didnt meet our expectations, but theres no need to insult each other over it.

I revived this thread, because a troll posted on my wall about this when I tried to end the conversation diplomatically. I'm calling him out to see if he still has the balls to say the same bullshit. So you dont need to respond to anything I say, my actions are not directed at you in anyway.

And honestly at the time, we were all riding on the FF13 hype. In all fairness Bioware have apparently fucked up the ending for the Mass Effect trilogy, so no game is perfect in this respect.

Thanks for your understanding :)
