Someone was just telling me this game wasn't successful because it didn't do crazy well in Japan. Take your L..
LOL, that was just a photo op at the SoM remake's booth at TGS last year. Other SE devs were there too:That photo scares the hell out of me,
Where did you get that from!? If Tabata is the person that is put as the director of SD5, I will have a freaking heart attack. FFXV has the worst battle system FF has ever produced, one where its literally impossible to die in. Please dont make a Seiken Densetsu game, EVER, Tabata. Please...
Major QoL changes (like one simple ability is you can stack up to ten hunts at a time, and you can turn them in at any outpost to receive the EXP and rewards), plus the story has been significantly fleshed out (more cutscenes, more exposition, more of the story actually happening on screen), hugely improved performance and graphics (my PS4 still sounds like a jet plane playing this game but there's no more FPS drops), better camera, stuff like timed quests, you can now play as Galdiolus/Prompto/Ignis, and so on and on and on.
It is indisputably a failure in Japan.Someone was just telling me this game wasn't successful because it didn't do crazy well in Japan. Take your L..
I don't want to downplay that undeniable success, but I really thought that Final Fantasy is a bigger, or faster seller.
7,7 million in 20 months makes it the fastest selling FF to date? I really thought it would have to cross 10 million in that timeframe for that achievement.
The more you know!
I'm not a fan of the game, but I'm happy for those who are.
Tabby with a new SD game? Sure I'm down for that. And who said we're getting a SD5?
Wait what happened to my hero?
Good, Im not a fan of the game, but it laid a pretty incredible foundation for the future.
I wouldn't say a failure, it did +600k first week, underperformed compared to the other entries? Sure.It is indisputably a failure in Japan.
It's just not a failure anywhere else lol.
um... it's the second highest selling PS4 game of all time in Japan? How in the name of fuck is that a failure?It is indisputably a failure in Japan.

I believe he was banned because of a post in the Era's Top 101 RPG thread.
FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFX-2, FFXII all released 'internationall' versions in Japan with additional content for extra sales within months of release.To be fair, the other games in the series didn't have to release two versions in the first 18 months either.
While I'm happy for the franchise's sake, I'm sad for the implications it has on the direction of the franchise.
Damn. :(I believe he was banned because of a post in the Era's Top 101 RPG thread.
People are trying to bury the truth he speaks.
Consider the context of the series, it did pretty badly in that regardI wouldn't say a failure, it did +600k first week, underperformed compared to the other entries? Sure.
It's the third highest selling PS4 game of all time in Japan, but yes, that's a failure because the PS4 itself is a middling performer in Japan at best. Final Fantasy games used to clear over 1.5 million in Japan in their first week on the market; 15 struggled to even reach a million for the longest time.um... it's the second highest selling PS4 game of all time in Japan? How in the name of fuck is that a failure?
Got banned for loving a game too much. Hahaha what is going on

While I'm happy for the franchise's sake, I'm sad for the implications it has on the direction of the franchise. At least I have Octopath Traveler and Xenoblade 2 to provide that feeling of exploring vast fully-developed worlds that I no longer get from Final Fantasy.
Yup it's badFuck this will teach square nothing and they'll keep putting out half baked shit :/

I mean, ok, but that's a symptom of consoles being a total failure in Japan now more than FF. Sales figures for the PS4 version of DQ XI are way lower than normal too.Consider the context of the series, it did pretty badly in that regard

Again, I love 15, and I am glad it did so well, but it did very explicitly do poorly in Japan.
It's the third highest selling PS4 game in Japan, and frankly that doesn't mean anything.um... it's the second highest selling PS4 game of all time in Japan? How in the name of fuck is that a failure?
I enjoyed FFXV, but their dedication to ongoing DLC for it makes me worried we won't see FFXVI or FFVIIR for a very long time.
Are you serious with this question? The hype was real for FF XIII (from myself and millions of others).
I don't know why people say this like these are rare or something. Outside of Bethesda shooters, single player games are still prevalent and still sell wellbut franchise hasn't had a hot recent history, it's a mostly single player game in 2018. so somewhere around that ballpark is probably good enough
No to both, actually. Consoles are not failures in Japan (Switch is breaking all records), the PS4 just seems to have underperformed. DQ11 has also actually sold in line with Square's expectations (surprisingly enough it was the 3DS version that underperformed).I mean, ok, but that's a symptom of consoles being a total failure in Japan now more than FF. Sales figures for the PS4 version of DQ XI are way lower than normal too.
