FF X HD sold more than Lightning Returns on ps3, same can be said respectively about the Vita and 360 version.
So did Square Enix get the lesson ?

Indeed, make a fantastic, innovative game that caters to gameplay and world elements that people asked for. No one buys it. Sounds like they just need to be another super linear game like FFX and FF13.

 

 

Unfortunately that's not how it works. If SE thought by doing so the sales would rise then they are clueless. XIII universe was hated beyond its flaws, so fixing those flaws was never going to work.  SE should have reacted by delivering what the fans really wanted, Versus XIII. They should have let Lightning go long, long time ago. 

With that being said, Lightning Returns was an excellent game, the best battle system in JRPG imo.

 

 

I was just being cyncial because people don't actually support what they say they want. If the main character changed and it didn't have FF13 on the logo, no one would have noticed (because that would actually require playing through the series).
