Sales have been down since VII, but sales are still stronger than some past releases like IX, XII, X-2. There have been a lot of mediocre games in the FF series and we can't pretend everyone hates XIII.

If people really hated XIII, it wouldn't be selling as well as it is.

Still there seems to be a lot more fan hate for this game than any other, but some people hated twelve while I loved it so who knows. Just think man of how many ff13 hate threads were made after its release. 

Also I presume from your response that you actually like XIII?

Bear in mind, much of the hate is due to this game going multiplat. The people complaining are mostly Sony fans. I guarantee they would be more open minded if this were a PS3 exclusive.

I own it but haven't played it much. All I can say is I'm very impressed so far. I want to finish Tales of Legendia before I get to that.

Well as a 360 and Ps3 fan I can say my dislike of the game does not come from it going multiplat even though I slightly favor my PS3. There are many one sided Sony fools out there and I was thinking of mentioning the exact thing you said in my last post.Glad we seem to mostly agree! PEACE!

Without a doubt, SquareEnix is NOT the former Squaresoft who once catered to their fan base regardless of platforms.  But I hope the death threats are just empty words "spoken" by a few ravenous individuals and nothing more.


Actually, I would argue they are trying to cater to fans by getting the game in as many peoples hands as possibe.  The people upset over this are just a waste of space.


Depends, if its multiplat or if they release the extra as DLC, fans have no reasonable reason to be angry. But if the international edition with extra contents is exclusive on 360, its understandable and reasonable for fans to be angry. Just to precise, im not saying its a reason to threaten Wada physical integrity, though.


Not really, did 360 Bioshock fans throw a giant hissy fit when the much better version hit the PS3?

You simply get the better version if you wait.  I would have loved to have the extras that the PS3 version got but I'm sure the PS3 players would have also loved to play the game a year earlier.  That's just how things work.



hmm ... can Final Fantasy really lose it's fan base in Japan because of this? square Enix getting boycotted would make me so happy :3

*Gets on knees*

Please God let this be the beginning of the end to a franchise that went sour years ago. I don't care for exclusivity or multiplat. I just want this franchise to disappear from the face of the earth so other deserving RPGs can finally rise.

FF12 isn't bad. It's just the story throws people off.

A franchise doesn't have to die because of one poor game.
