Hopefully it beats FF XV sales, and goes to show that you dont need to break conventions just to appease popular trends.

hmm, as much as I'd like to see that happening just to show SE that what made their JRPGs great in the first place isn't "old-fashioned" and can still work, I think it's quite unlikely. Final Fantasy is simply the much more popular franchise. Looking at VGC figures FFXV is already at about 5.3m. I don't know how it's legs have been so far, so I'm not sure how much that will grow, but that's already quite a number for DQ11 to get too as it is!

Yeah i know.This is more asking for a miracle situation.Haivng said that, its not impossible.Japan alone should do betwenn 3 to 4 millions LT, and DQ has been growing on the west, and Persona 5 expanded the audience even further in my opinion.Assuming FF XV legs simply vanish or are very small, it should be possible in theory.And I mean, if it gets close enough, it should send a message anyway.
