It still could sell 1 mil in Japan, although it seems unlikely. if its as good as they say it will have sales momentium.

and its not a mainline entry, its a sequel to the worst recieved FF in the series. i dont know why people were expecting the second coming; they had 5 years with FF13, they wasted it. its not unaniticipated.

They need a VII remake on Vita/PS3 to revitalise the series.

You too huh?

Have you guys ever seen the pre-order chart? It's a nice tool not to make foolish predictions you know :P

I'm talking about the 10k that the 360 got.

PS3 is doomed.

What are the Pre-Order charts saying?

Also, goddamn Square-Enix...how could a company responsible for some of my all-time favorite games fall so far from grace. I, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, and XII are all amongst my all-time favorite games, they did them so well...why did they have to not only make FFXIII as they did, but make a sequel? *sigh*

the formula is simple:

Great Characters + Great story x Great world-building + Linear / Nonlinear x sidequests + (Cid+chocobo+airships) +/- the addition of crystals = winner.

XIII had boring characters, a one-dimensional story, strict linearity with no exploration or sidequests, almost no chocobos, minimal airships, and Cid wasn't Cid. Nothing about this game was Final Fantasy, they could have literally made another mediocre JRPG and slapped chocobos, the name Cid, and the title "Final Fantasy" on it.

truth be told, I'm picking up XIII-2 because...well, I have some hope for it and 8 awesome games is enough to make me forgive them for XIII, but at the same time...wow.
