I can only speak for myself, but, to me, it looks like so many other action games out there... Also, I prefer sci-fi over historical Japan. Finally, and this is a general consideration, the mediocre reviews and sell out aren't probably helping the curious but sitll undecided buyers... |
We've had so many surprise localizations over the past few years that I'm still really hoping this has a chance.
Ever since Anime Expo in 2013 when we had DanganRonpa and Sorcery Saga announced, it's just been a stream of stuff I never in a million years thought would come west (Conception 2; Demon Gaze; Mind=0; Criminal Girls; Dungeon Travelers; Code Realize). Every single one of those is a game I'd have bet against making it across yet somehow they're here or on the way.
And Lost Dimension shows that domestic sales really doesn't have much influence in whether a game gets picked up or not. I'd have thought Ukiyo's presentation as a pseudo-successor to Way of the Samurai would've been enough to at least get someone to have a stab at it (although XSEED did the last game and they have their plate full at the min).
I'd have thought it'd have a wider-reaching appeal then some of the stuff we've been getting, too (at the very least, the otome games and the first person DPRG's).
Oh well. I can only hope.
