Yes, you should know what to expect. You said it would crush Final Fantasy. Come on. Say something. One million? Two? Three?
DQ easilly - will make atleast 2mln first week in japan.
| Soundwave said: How is Final Fantasy a bigger "trademark"? The Pokemon brand alone probably has made more money than the entire Square-Enix company in their history. |
I'm not talking about money, but about how famous Final Fantasy is. It's sick in Japan. It may not be very successful in the world, but in Japan, it's crazy. Simply, more people recognize Final Fantasy. That's it. It's just sick. And that's why I think it can produce more impressive sales than Dragon Quest.

FF isn't nearly as "famous" in Japan as DQ or pokemon is.
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing 
(mostly)
And shepherds we shall be,
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
i dont know where ur going at soldier, Pokemon is just much bigger the FF, no comparison. And DQ well its also bigger the FF.
If ur not talking sales wise, then what better reflects what people recognize... i mean they buy what they like, simple as that

Are you serious? The fastest-selling game in Japan is a Final Fantasy game. Like we all know Halo is more popular than Killzone in America, I think that Final Fantasy definitiely is more popular, more famous and a more gigantic trademark than Dragon Quest in Japan. I agree Dragon Quest is big, too.

Come on, the biggest hype a game has had in Japan is Final Fantasy, and it's the fastest-selling game, too...

That doesn't say much. When a Final Fantasy is released in Japan, it's crazy. The hype. The instant sales. Same can't be said about Pokémon. And Final Fantasy is a more famous trademark than Pokémon in Japan. It's crazy. That's what I more mean.

So what other evidence you need if sale numbers don't say much? Do you know that there are 11 Pokemon movies since 1998 (one every year) and most of them are among the Top 10 selling movie in Japan for the year? Final Fantasy brand might be popular with gamers. It is in no way "a more famous trademark than Pokémon in Japan".
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

We all know Halo is more popular than Killzone in America because Halo simply destroys Killzone in sales.
Have you ever been to Japan? Do you know any non-gamer Japanese from Japan? You sound like you are saying all this purely based on your own speculation.
