Square has lost 1 million from FFX (3million jpn) to FFXIII (2 million jpn), maybe they just over saturated the market with FF Crystal Chronicles, VS XIII, Dissidia, bra bra bra. Maybe its time they let FF name to have a rest and develop alternate franchise so XV will be a fresh experience.

I have always liked the art direction in FF games. It is so 'not' your typical 'copy everyone else' Japanese animation like most games from that region. They have always kind of did things their own way. It looks like XIII is not going to disappoint. I'm not an anime hater don't get me wrong, but it is refreshing to see something original.

@solidpumar
I guess so, but I also would have to figure that some people with a 360 were waiting to buy a PS3 (pre-announcement) when FFXIII came out. Given that most big titles are already on both platforms, this may have been their only reason to want a PS3. They're a minority, and it certainly wouldn't have had as much of an effect as it did in Japan, but I think it would have been measurable.

Although I might only think that because I personally waited on getting a PS3 until FFXIII was imminent.

@Polarimetric
FF13 wouldn't be system seller in the west.
FF fans already bought the PS3 before was announced the 360 version.
In the western only hardcore gamers are FF fans, so they presumably already have 1 or more consoles. In the Japan many FF13 fans are casual, thus they wait the game the game to launch to buy.

Polarimetric posted 30/12/2009, 07:55
Wow, Square Enix really kicked Sony in the balls by releasing FFXIII on the 360 in the US, and I didn't really realize the magnitude until now.

XIII carried PS3 sales to new highs in Japan like everyone would expect it to... but XIII is not going to help the PS3 against the 360 at all when it's on the 360 too. Unless the PS3 version is in some way measurably better, of course.

That being said, I don't see the 360 and PS3 versions having that much of a difference in sales in the US. FF's true home is still the Playstation, and it's much more likely, I think, to connect with the smaller PS crowd than it is to connect with the larger 360 crowd. PS3's potential sales will be much lower but attach rate will probably be much higher.

"Its a shame they messed up the battle system, otherwise I would have not canceled my pre-order, I don't mind Action RPG's just give us more choices and try not to limit us so much SE. (pre-defined one character control)"

When i read a comment like this i just want to go out and shoot a rabbit. Coming from someone who's played and nearly completed the import...i'm gonna tell you this. Play the game before judging the BS. Trust me on this...for this system you DO NOT want to control more than one character. And theres more implications than that anyway.

PS3 finally has its system seller in Japan (Uncharted 2, MTG4, and FIFA/PES were big sellers in the other regions). 2 thoughts:
1. It's about time.
2. It comes at a crucial time for PS3, as we are seeing the system turn the corner from trying to do too much (and thus not being very good at anything), to returning to its roots and really improving the quality of its gaming experience. Well done.

1.5-2 mln. EU
So minimal 5 mln. LTD on PS3 alone. The maximal is 7 mln. then.

@Kyuu

There is no way FFXIII is selling that much opening week in Japan... or even lifetime unless the PS3 gets a humongous jump in number of consoles sold in Japan.

There is like 2.8 million PS3's in Japanese homes right now You're basically banking on every single PS3 owner buying a copy of the game. At best the PS3 might have 3.5 million consoles in homes across Japan by the time the release date rolls around. I'm sure there will be an incredible hardware boost, but don't expect this to sell like previous FF's in Japan. PS3 doesn't have the numbers for that, this is why they are putting FFXIII as a multi-plat for the rest of the world, to counterbalance the loss in sales they will experience in Japan.

Now the PS3 is picking up steam in Japan this year, so maybe they might push 1.5-2 million consoles between now and December if Sony are lucky. But that would pretty much mean that this year has to be it's best year to date. I could see possibly 1 million lifetime in Japan if their sales stay as they are now (which is higher than they have been for a while).

And I'm not exactly sure what you mean by away from the Final Fantasy setting....

"Final Fantasy's reputation is what it is today thanks to talented developers ( LIKE ) Hironobu Sakaguchi. The father of Final Fantasy"

--IMPORTANT NEWS--
This game will NOT come out in 2008. It will have a worldwide release in Early 2010. SQUARE ENIX have delayed it for 2 years for two primary reasons:

1) To continue developing the game and make it have over 100 hours playtime.
2) To release it at a time when more people around the world have a PS3.

Odd that you bring up Lost Odyssey when I never even mentioned it.
And Lost Odyssey is by no means a failure.

And of course Final Fantasy is more acclaimed and will sell more, how old is the series? How many FF have their been? How old is Lost Odyssey? How many Lost Odyssey's have their been?

Final Fantasy's reputation is what it is today thanks to talented developers like Hironobu Sakaguchi. The father of Final Fantasy.

Although I deleted his comment, I'll forgive him.

He knows that this game will be far more critically acclaimed and sell far better than Sakaguchi's failed attempt at a game which he calls Lost Odyssey.

He's just jealous, the cute little thing.

A fantastic entry in the series, with it's main flaw being that it takes a very long time for the combat to reveal it's greatness. Makes FF VII look like a pile of oily rags. Set that shit on fire and give FF XIII a try. Before long, you'll be glad Aeris is dead.

Combat was pretty aight, graphics were great, musics were godlike, game was pretty long, but the thing is that the game takes pretty much 25 hours to actually take off and feel like an actual FF game. And it still has meh characters and an average story.

The game isn't THAT awful, but it's certainly painful to play at times, since we know it might end up be great, but we have to stick through hours of ultralinear gameplay before it finally gets interesting.

FF X was very linear too at the beginning, but it at least made up for it with a great story and a shorter "intro", imo.
