In the last 20 years, Final Fantasy had one of the best graphics of the industry. That is  part of the franchise

 

It seems that the japanese Boy band worked in the global market. They shipped 5 millions day 1.

They overshipped on the basis of the series' past success. The problem in doing this is if those copies don't sell, retailers are going to black list future Final Fantasy games. 

That's the problem. They've damaged the brand. I think it will have a good first month in the West, but below Final Fantasy XIII and then will drop like a rock after that. 

I mean FF7-9 had good graphics, but I wouldn't say they had the "best" graphics. The actual in-game graphics were good, but I wouldn't say the best, a lot of the poly models from FF7 for example are shockingly basic. The FMV was great for its time though. 

They didn't overshipped, tey had pre-order numbers and the data for it. They shipped 1 million of units for Japan, 4 millions worldwide.
