1. The game wasn't terrible. In fact I actually kind prefer it over XIII-2. Why? 13 was linear and you alwasy knew where to go. XIII-2 has a lot more freedom and you can get lost and you even get to fight high-level monster at low levels when you have no chance of beating them. I prefer the straight to the point linear 13 honestly.

2. Whiny crybaby voice acting? You're exagerrating. If you really hate the voice acting that much, mute it and put on subtitles. Most jRPGs are cheesy and cringeworthy. If you were a jRPG fan, you'd know this by now.

3. If all you do is that you'll never beat XIII.(did you even beat it?) You also have to do paradigm shifts and choose which characters to put in your party. There's a decent amount of strategy there and way more in XIII-2 with the monster system.


#1.) So because you think it was good it means I am wrong? Why can't it be that you are wrong since I thought it was bad? Nothing you say changes the fact that I think the battle system is terrible. Maybe if it had a "Wait" option rather than always being not just "Active", but ridiculously fast.

#2.) Mute it? So because the voice acting and dialogue is terrible I should mute not just the voices, but also the music and sound? Why not tell S-E to add the option to just mute voices and voices only? By the way, most of them are not as cheesy as FFXIII. FFXIII was over the top ridiculous, it seriously had whining left and right, not to mention these characters couldn't even talk to each other, they were always crying or yelling at each other. One moment Lightning is whining, next she is telling us her sad life story, next thing you know Snow and Hope are in a screaming match. It was drama, drama, drama. Someone needs to man up. They were all forgettable characters as well.

As for "If I were a JRPG fan", check my gaming library, I have probably been playing JRPGs since before you were born. It's my genre of choice by a LARGE margin.

#3.) My PSN username is the same as my VGChartz username. I beat FFXIII a week or so after it released and I know how the battle system works. Don't believe me, then go check it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Has anyone mentioned the sheer inaccuracy of this sites numbers in that FFXIII-2 supposedly had 450,000+ preorders and yet after 2 weeks has sold 350,000.


I never got why people got behind preorder numbers in the first place, I find they are usually crap.  The thing is you can cancel preorders, so its not a great number to go by in the first place

I just figured they made up the pre orders numbers out of thin air to pad out the site between weekly numbers. They arent even good at doing that.

Is this Wii's lowest week ever, or was that the one before the pricecut?? Anyway, Nintendo ignoring the Wii makes it more terrible. Wii U should be coming way before the Holidays.


I think Seece will know for sure, but I think the Wii never went below 100k or am I wrong ?
AFAIK this was the lowest week: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/40804/Global/
Excluding all weeks of this year obviously

http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/40678/Global/

Yeah, lowest week until this one was the one before the last price cut.
New low for the console, but how low can it go?? Perhaps 50k in a couple weeks. This is beyond tragic for Nintendo, they are gambling too much.
They depend on 3DS doing well since Wii and DS are dead, completely. Too much of a risk, 3DS is still not a DS.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

considering that sales this time of the season for any console is typically a lot higher than august ... a lot lower.

I guess it's not a huge deal because the main software is doing great, but is the 3DS hardware still losing money?  It usually takes a while for prices to come down...

Lol, when did inVersion release in the US?

It won't be out, at least for right now, until June 30.

Somebody's taken us for a ride with the Devil May Cry HD Collection, too. Doesn't come out 'til April 3rd.



Boutros on 16 February 2012

Yeah it happens sometimes that pre-orders get mixed up with the actual numbers.

Also downwards adjustments for nearly everything I think?

It looks as though. Has there been an adjustment on SW?
