its not doing too hot in the west in my opinion, especially when a "niche" series like GOD OF WAR is doing much better than FF..

God of War is not niche.  It is a million seller blockbuster franchise.

it is a flop in jpn (wrst selling)

massive success in west like i hve sed before. (one ov th best selling)

I hate how people think this.

FFXIII has been barely out in Japan, there's still greatest hits, re-releases, international versions of FFXIII that's yet to be released, all other Final Fantasy games got big boosts from these re-releases. Just like how recently Resident Evil 5 was re-released and had a huge boost in sales for Japan.

u hve no proof re-releses do well for ff games in jpn. sounds like damage control to me.

for the quality of the game, it sold well. Translation: it sold purely on brand name.... and hence failed to expand the market.

remember the key word: QUALITY.

I shall not mention the possible cause of such lack of "quality", it is for another time, another thread.

I'm getting tired of all of you complaining about how FF13 sucked because of the 360.

Shut up.

I'm sorry but where did he mention 360 in any of his post? The game lacked quality cuz the game sucked imo. Whether that is because the 360 or not no one will know for sure. The game just wasn't good except for its pretty graphics.

well according to me its sales are good the reason being simple that nowadays there are many quality games available as compared to say when FFX was released.The bottom line is that its still the best RPG from sales point.

RE5 sold an extra 250K and still selling with one re-release, and this is after sales had leveled off (http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Japan&game1=Resident+Evil+5+-+PS3[7675]&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100).

This, also they lost a HUGE share in the japanesse market. this game is on track of selling sell 10-15% more than FFXII WW and that one is consirered a failure.

Your trying to tell me they didn't profit on FFXII? Are you INSANE?

The sales are amazing!

More impressive than the FFXII ones.

No, its not a flop in any way shape or form. It may have been a disappointment from a gameplay aspect but sales wise. Its doing amazing.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
