After all the sales Final Fantasy XIII got, Square Enix got a lot of hate mail. So much so they were compelled to make a XIII-2 to make things right.

Disagree. I'm certain XIII-2 was in the plans from the beginning. The X-2 success was pretty much the reason.

-same writer/director

-a game (FF XIII) guaranteed to do great

-a very expensive engine to let it go to waste after one game

Well plenty of RPG's have proved Square Enix wrong well before Ni No Kuni so I'm not voting for either of them.

Not a single rpg from Japan came close to FF XIII-2 sales, let alone FF XIII.

As an Altus fan it pains me to admit the only studio that brought innovation to the table this gen (next to Square) is From Software.

Jrpgs IS A DEAD BREAD. On top of that, the story of Ni no kuni looks painfully typical and familiar.

 

 

Ever consider that FF sells on brand name alone? Many feel the games this gen, had they been another title, would have flopped misreabely.
