Just a select few who is saying ffxv decline is ok because either "market" isnt what its used to be or ffxv caters to the west and not japan (which the latter definetly has some truth to but to an extent)

 

The market is so bad in japan but persona 5 for example is up and will be only continuing to be up from p4 (despite that game being from ps2 and vita)

Tha part of FF XV being less similar to other japanese derived games could very well be the reason and Square seeing the sales diminish decide to push even more away from japanesc on it.

Lets say that is the reason, people only started to state this more and more closer to ffxv release because we knew of a decline coming. A year ago or more we didnt expect it to drop this much (like when gaf and here on vgc people were comparing splatoon to ffxv in sales) despite us knowing what kind a game that ffxv would be.

 

Anyway like i said that could very well be the reason but thats still a huge hit. I can say that ffxiii did more damage as a whole that this but to each their own. Only thing i disagree with is the market changed. Just because many ips went downhill (in terms of sales) doesnt mean its ok to say thats reason enough.

 

Oh well my bad for bringing this up :/
