you went from argument to personal attacks. Now who's angry? My work here is done. |
I was hoping this FF13 thread get round to being made eventually so we could slug this out. but some of this arguments need a closer look guys.
darth this argument about FF13s sales is really debatable. it still hasnt sold more than FF10 or FF7 in the west. yes it outsold FF12 a troubled game that came at the end of the PS2s lifecycle. but its the first FF of this gen, its had a brand new game engine made primarily for cutscenes thats consequently being wasted for Luminious. Yochi Wada said he wanted sales to hit 6 mil, that might not be possible.
and this 6 million itself is a failure. it dosent matter how much people deny it, FF13 was meant to revolutionalise gaming again like FF7, SE wanted it to sell 10 mil copies. these sales are multiplatform as well. do you think SE scraped development on the PS2, developed a brand new game engine, and sold out to microsoft so they could sell less than FF7 in the EU and US and Japan, but even FF10s sales success cant be realised at this point. and its all 3 regions, even FFs Japanese stronghold has experienced massive decline.
the sales as well are frontloaded, newcomers arnt buying this game. and theres no need for these personal attacks, i'm sorry for saying this darth but the fact your so defense makes me think you dont even know why you like it, its just because the name is Final Fantasy.
Edit: oh and excellent sales all round this week.
