Shining Resonance (PS3) 93106 (75%) Shining Resonance Refrain (PS4) 27623 (22%) Shining Resonance Refrain (NS) 3756 (3%) I'm puzzled about Octopath's outstanding success. Look at the following pictures
Switch owners had the choice between an old-looking RPG and a modern RPG with waifus, modern graphics & animation, and they massively picked the one with weak graphics. I believe that can send a wrong message to 3rd parties : now SquareEnix or anyone can make a PSOne-looking RPG, slap exclusive + nostalgia on it and say "hey, Switch fans, this is just for you". Result being that Switch would get less and less high-end games and more old-school ones with low production values. |
So the Switch owners in Japan had the choice between a quality game with Metascore 84 and a game with score of 71. So hopefully Square and other publishers get the message and bring more games of higher quality to Switch instead of trying to sidetrack users with flashy animations and waifus.
