Forums - Gaming - There is someone not buying FFXIII because it have 13 in name?

I know that in UK people take this thing of 13 being the devil't number serious. I read once that there they don't make the thirteenth floor of buildings.

WTF!?



There are some buildings in the US without 13th floors too, but this is just paranoia at its insanest.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

No Devil Worshippers will buy it now

FF13 is destined to sell 10 million

Devil Worshipers is the NEW audience for this FF!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I thought 13 was just unlucky-- the devils number is 666.

 

However, several buildings in both Europe and the US (particularly old buildings), if they have thirteen or more floors, skip the number thirteen and assign the thirteenth floor the number 14.

 

I have not heard of anybody not buying FF XIII for this reason, but I could believe that some people might be superstitious enough not to buy the game because of the number 13.

When it fails to reach 10m I will rub it in your face.

When we reach December 13 of 2013 this game will have sold 13 million copies!



It is called Triskaidekaphobia and I doubt SE is too worried about it.

You won't get within ten feet of me, I have a dog & guess what, he has sharp teeth!!

but you won't need to do that as you'll be enjoying adventures with Lightning & co. in cocoon/pulse as the game crosses 10 million in 2011



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I will buy 13 copies of it to test my luck.
