Isn't WKC 25 - 30 hours long without sidequests? That's not exactly short...

25-30 hours is around the average for JRPG's this gen. How lamentable that is is up to the person playing I suppose. Personally I prefer around 45-50 before I'd call it exceptional value.

If it can get around to 35 or even 40 hours with sidequests I'll have no reason to complain. I've played so many JRPG's in my day that I don't need every single one to consume 50+ hours of my life

Nice numbers for WKC in spite of the mediocre Famitsu review.

It all depends on the quality of the content.

That said, I played Vesperia for 120 hours on my first playthrough, and every second of that was some of my most fufilling gameplay this gen.

Anyway, the game sold up to expectations, my only worry now, as I've mentioned, is the quality. I hope this doesn't pull a IU or TLR.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It's 28,5 hours without side quests.
You people forgetting time for SKIPPED cutscenes after being killed, and also time for replaying in this case some parts of game.
So, it`s over 30h.
I remember, some FF game was possible to complete in 40-45h.

BUT WKC also has ONLINE mode. So, the game provide enough gameplay time. =)

IU was completed in 15h.

And sales are GOOD, as i expected. And i think, sales will increase in time, since not all RPG fans have bought PS3 yet. Probably after few months since FFXIII release in Japan, we will see the real number closest to WKC LTD. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

Now, this is the kind of optimism we need to see! Good on you crazy crazy man!

Not bad, but is this really the huge ps3 saviour that was needed in japan?

 

The ps3's "saviour" if anything is the stream of constant releases that started hitting last month.  It has lead to increased sales across the board, and these sales should stay up until at least April with releases like Yakuza 3, Resident Evil 5 (not really that big in Japan anymore, though), Street Fighter IV, Demon's Souls (though tbh I think it'll be crap), and the FFVII Blu-Ray + FFXIII demo, among others.

 

And Naruto off course, the FFVII blu-ray wil sell like cup cakes and I wouldn't be surprised to see an enormous PS3 jump, ^^

i hope they release a NA version i want advent children in blu ray its my fav CGI movie

 

I thought it was messy.. the first final fantasy movie was a whole lot better.. you obviously needs to have played ffvii to get the most out of advent children.. It's fan service..

not that that is bad... but i'd wish they'd do something unique like the first ff movie. Spirits within.

LOL, you guys want a ban? Are you REALLY asking for one?

I couldn't care less what you say about the mods IMO - but try to stay on topic :)

...

The only ones that will be eating crow, are the ones with "predictions" furthest from the actual sales figures. So go ahead - and post what you think WKC will do in Japan lifetime. I guessed 110k day#1, and I wasn't *that* far from the mark.

Wasn't this going to be the "ultra" savior for the PS3 in some form?

Not really though just about everyone was predicting well beyond Rogue Galaxy numberes do to Level 5 "being more recognized" since.

So the sales are a bit low the average predictions on the site.

The only hope is if WKC miarciously has better legs then Rogue Galaxy.
