Nintendo COULD make this one big. I also don't get "There's no RPG market" considering Nintendo's own Pokemon, one of the biggest franchises in all of gaming, is an RPG.

The biggest issue Nintendo has is if they publicly trash Final Fantasy using project X as the weapon, then they hurt relations with Square Enix and potentially lose valuable Dragon Quest support... Well, support that COULD be valuable if Enix stops their MMO stupidity with the franchise.

Personally, I hope Nintendo acquires the rights of the Xenogears franchise from Square.

Who's to say they won't make this a big name in their Nintendo ethos? I've been clamoring for information, hell anything, about X and not so much as a peep has come out with new information.

So until we know what Nintendo will do with this franchise how can we start asking questions to their intent and actions?

Very true cube. We don't know anything so how can we judge? Honestly I think this will be a series if it sells but we have no idea the potential for advancement. I mean Monolith did Xenoblade Chronicles and now this, so who knows what might be next from them.

We need more info, and we need it now!

Nintendo doesn't seem to have any interest in promoting this game.

I tend to see Pokemon as a exception and feel it is an institution like mario  and zelda  ,something that many people have grown up with.  the point about trashing FF is not thought out to well , for that to happen the game would some how have to be dirctly marketed as the FF killer and at the same time do  huge numbers.

FusionCode: I don't think that's it, I think it's that they want to make sure they have a good selection of stuff to show before broadcasting it to the world. Everyone is interested in this, and Nintendo showed it during their direct so they have interest. I think once Monolith says "We're ready" Nintendo will send info to every major website their is to help promote this game.

If we hear nothing in the next few months though I'll probably believe you.

Because Nintendo has proven time and time again that they just don't like money very much. Come on, think about it.

...he asserted, based on _______.

Gaming websites are completely ignoring it, and it was barely shown during Nintendo's E3 Direct presentation. We've barely gotten any info about the game since it was revealed months ago. It just feels like Nintendo's been ignoring it. 

I'm a bit late to factor in my opinion seeing as everyone has already given theirs, but I believe at the most if Nintendo tried this would only get as big as Metroid, I don't think it will be able to sell 4 million.
