FFTA was trash imo

I don't understand why people especially some MODs ( atleast you expect same honesty from them) keep saying MGS4 budget was $75 million without any proof? And even 3 million copies sold in first 2 weeks ( now the figure will be much higher after month) is not good enough? I know when you play MGS4 it seem like most expensive game ever made because of great production values but still i don't think it costed $75 million.

I'd guess he based it off the fact that the assitant producer said it needed to sell at least a million copies first day for it to have the kind of curve it would need to meet production costs because of how high the costs have soared.

well it sold 1.3 millions on the first day.. thats pretty much story.

pokemon its a RPG?!

come on, you can put square enix games next to pokemon.

and pokemon RPG are not on the wii.

So it needed to sell 1 million day one to make a profit? And guess what it already sold 3 million in 2 weeks and over million day one.

TG Cid is the most powerful fictional character in existance. able to tackle all the Zodiacs by himself and dismantle armies by the strength of his back and the sweat of his brow.

Sell 1 Million in day one to have the right curve.  Not to make a profit.  It needed to sell 1 million day one to have the right curve to make money.  It's a big difference from 1 million = making money... and 1 million first day means = it probably will make enough money.

I'll respond to the O.P.:

I kinda agree, SE has been quite generous with the ports/slight upgrades FF 1 +2 for PSP, FF III for DS, FF IV for DS and for GBA, FF VI for GBA, Star Ocean 1 +2 for PSP, Chrono Trigger, etc.

But they've been not so generous with remakes like FFVII. It would explain why they are not apt to remake the highest selling game in the FF franchise.

Oooh, ooh, oooh!

I've been holding off from posting because I wanted to get this just right.

Here it goes:

Cha-ching

Final Fantasy XII paid for Final Fantasy XIII.

Yes SE has had losses, but it is because they have 4-5 major games in development, yet to release.  All paid for by FFXII and DQVIII which saw their profit in years past.

Agreed.

Lol at these nuts who talk trash about MGS4 sales (3mill plussssss)considering it came out in june on only one console. Who wants to bet that MGS4 won't hit 5-6 million copies sold by Jan 09?

Secondly I never said that FF4 was shovelware though in all honesty a game that good does deserve a nice high budget remake I don't give a damn on which console just not on DS.

Let's pray that FF6 does it's the last real hope.

I love DS a lot but some games just deserve the highest quality remake possible.
