How did those games actually sell though? I would think FFXV would need to sell at least 6-7 million copies to make a decent profit(just a guess) given how long it has been in development and the production values....

Doesn't that just mean that Square Enix spent way too much time and money on graphics than any sane company would have? If a game has to sell 6-7m to make a profit then it had better be called GTA, COD or FIFA.

Definitely!!! It is outrageous how long it has taken and certainly their own fault. Much like The Last Guardian, Duke Nukem Forever, Chinese Democracy(the album) etc. I do feel that the 'hack and slash' real time combat decision was predictated on catering to Western audiences but that is just a theory. I think if it were turn-based it might not be as appealing as a real time combat system... For better or worse..

I really hope it sales amazingly but I really don't think it will turn a big profit. I don't think the profit will warrant the time, effort and labor that this game required... It very well could be the last major Final Fantasy we see on consoles but I hope that is not the case.
