Folklore isn't considered to be a role playing game by most media sites. Instead it is usually listed as an adventure title. Honestly I will defer to popular opinions discretion on the genre of a title. That is why including it would be odd, but since the PS3 has such an unacceptably low variety of such titles I can see why owners might consider the title a role playing game. Beggars not having the luxury of being choosers and such.

That said the title doesn't stand up to likes of Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, or Lost Odyssey in the sales department. My comments weren't in reference to game quality, but in reference to the titles sales. Even Eternal Sonata the worst selling of the three managed to crawl over two hundred thousand units. Folklore could only manage a hundred and sixty thousand, and oddly enough it did better in North America.

That actually says a lot about the user base. Eternal Sonata had one horrific flaw in North America. The package threatens ones masculinity, maturity, or sexual proclivity. Basically picking this game up at your local game store is an embarrassing prospect. Even if you don't know the guy behind the counter you really could care less for the idea that he either thinks your gay, childish, or into little children. Basically a bad packaging choice to say the least. I am willing to bet it has driven more prospective purchasers away then it has attracted a young child to want this game.

I played the demo and honestly I didn't think the game was bad it had some strong points, but thankfully I have choices. Honestly it does make an older gamer feel a little dirty, like being caught seriously watching a Sailor Moon cartoon. So sweet and so innocent it must be smut. That said it still beat folklore that is just staggering. I can't wait till the PS3 gets this game, because I want to see the conflict in the PS3 owners out there especially if the package is not changed.

Really its hard to overlook the packaging. You stand there thinking can I overlook this childish presentation. Can I overlook how the guy behind the counter will look at me. Will I have to hide this game from my friends. Basically in the end you figure if another game is a little less good but looks more mature you could probably live easier with that. I might eventually pick up that game, but its not going to be full price in case I can't stomach it. Plus it probably will not be in a store I intend to shop in again. You just know the guy behind the counter wants to see what kind of person can buy that game.
