Come on, do you people still believe that a JRPG, especially one that uses an already existing engine (i.e. The Last Remnant) that sells over 500k is a massive flop? JRPGs have never been a big genre. Anyone expecting huge sales from a genre like this needs to get a slap in the face. Now. (Unless the game has Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest in it's name.)

no my freind you dont get it

these are hard times for rpg fans , and putting these rpgs on one side of the market aint going to help the sales .

... Right.

Either way, the problem with Square Enix is not poor sales (that aren't even poor to begin with), the problem is that Square are pompous assholes and are shoving out (apparently) subpar games. And also that they announced FF13 in ... 2005? And we still haven't even got a release date for it. I hope FF13 bombs just so Square Enix can be served a massive helping of humble pie... But I know that won't happen. Sadly.

I'll just quote myself from another thread:

Now to those people who scream "oooh SE you fail !!!".
They (SE) released the game (SO4) on the 360 for a reason. They knew it would not sell that many copies in Japan, but they surely received a bunch of money from Microsoft. Besides that the game engine was practically paid by MS. Never forget, MS published Infinite Undiscovery together with Square Enix.

The Last Remnant uses the Unreal 3 engine and SE had huge problems with porting the game to the PS3. However for a mediocre JRPG The Last Remnant sold great and you can't deny that. Even Infinite Undiscovery made a nice profit.

I agree. The Last Remnant was a technical mess on the 360, I can't imagine how it would look on the PS3 unless SE works very hard on it. Seriously, I really don't see why porting those games at high price on the PS3 would do them any good. They'll end up selling like Eternal Sonata, Bioshock or Dead Rising Wii. Ports of old games don't work.

How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

All I know is:

As a 360 fan, I couldn't be happier. I own 2/3 Square games, and plan on buying the 3rd one (SO4) and their 4th one (XIII)

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

You think that if FFXIII bombs it will somehow make them develop ff games faster? what an interesting theory.

And I bet you havent played either Star Ocean 4 or The Last Remnant, have you?

Hard times for JRPG fans? No hard time for fanboys. JRPG fans buy the consoles with JRPGs. Fanboys buy consoles without JRPGs and whine about not having any JRPGs to play. Then they proceed to hit up video game forums and troll posts for the JRPGs they can't play because they didn't bother to check the release lists before making their purchase. This isn't 2005. It's obvious where the JRPGs are going at this point. Either buy the hardware that can play it, or shut up about it and give the rest of us true JRPG fans some peace.

The problem isn't Square it's MS, who have decided to make a play for Japan way too late in the game. They should have had these titles announced long before the 360 even came out before even dreaming of trying to become the JRPG console king. The truth is Japanese sales of FF13 alone will be more the the total sales of all of these exclusive 360 Jrpgs combined.
