You're implying those complaints were untrue. They weren't. Vanilla Kingdom Hearts 2 was pathetically easy and allowed people to roll over the entire game mashing X and triangle without a care for the game's other systems.
Woah, really good performance.
Thanks yall.
Well deserved . SE have some big money franchises in their hands.
Next up Avengers and FFVII remake which you have to imagine will both do bigger numbers again.

There was no game in 2013. If I had to guess full time development started when FFXV was being completed, so around 2-3 years.
Too bad GoW sold way worse
KH3: 3 days 5 millions
GoW: 31 days 5 millions
And hopefully they won't fuck around for ten years releasing spin offs with mathematical equations in its name for the Atari Lynx before we can get the next main installment on a modern home console.
So in about a week KH3 will have bested KH1's lifetime numbers. Wow.
I can almost smell the 10m.
Oh my fucking god we're supposed to be celebrating sales figures for a beloved franchise and some can't resist shitting on other fantastic games.
I doubt it will sell that fast. I also don't see it having the legs to hit 10 million without additional releases.
I still can't believe Kingdom Hearts 365 days/2 is an actual game title.
Meowscular Chef better watch his back.
This game is everything I could've expected and asked for. I'm so glad it's selling so well! :)
Don't forget his buddy, Tensai Yasue.All rise for the tensai done it again.

It's actually 358 / 2 days. And it's oronounced three five eight over two days. I swore it was "three hundred fifty eight"'
This makes no sense. And even if it was true and Square-Enix was gladly paying for a whole team to do nothing for 3 years, they're still paying those people, the game still cost them all those years doing nothing. It's not like the FFXV team and the KH III team are the same, so they weren't busy with XV until then, they were just waiting, for whatever reason.
EDIT:
Nomura even recently said that one of the great things about working with UE4 is that programmers and designers can just start testing and prototyping whatever mechanics they're thinking of right away with placeholder assets, they don't have to wait for artists. If anything it sounds like full production started earlier than usual with proprietary engines.
I don't know why I keep making that mistake. >_< I think my mind just jumps to the number of days in a year.
Nah I don't see it. SE is taking way too long and the remake never outsells the original.
SEs ridiculous early announcements and extended hype period has only helped sales for XV and KH3, and VIIR doesn't need to outsell the original to sell more than KH3.
The only thing that'll stop VIIR selling way more than KH3 is if it's hot garbage.
KH3 was made by the people who made dream drop distance, which released in 2012.
interviews in 2014 talked about a switch to unreal engine, and elsewhere they have talked about how this change led to a year of losr development time. from this we can deduce the game started development at latest in 2013
Wow it did better than I expected still I think 10M will be hard without additional releases. It's really hard for Japanese 3rd party game to sell 10M and JRPGs are frontloded.
Yeah that one is hard. I wonder if it's still PS timed exclusive.

Oh lol, I thought you were being sarcastic. FF7R will sell an absurd amount on hype and reputation alone.
You think? I doubt gen Z gives a hoot. Only Gen X and Milliennum.
Those GoW numbers are sell through and not shipped.Too bad GoW sold way worse
KH3: 3 days 5 millions
GoW: 31 days 5 millions
Hmm I expected more....like about 7-8 million. Of course it will get there but I thought the big wait for this would have tremendous numbers. These are amazing number, but not tremendous.
I don't think it's that impressive.
Just how many of those copies were prolly bought by people possessed by Xenahort?

Should be noted that the development finished in November 2018 too, so that you have the clear endpoint.

Someone need to edit some crow in the pan lol
Buy it used, I will do that in few months
I'm still glad when a videogame (especially Japanese) company succeed but still pissed there is no French dub while this is THE AAA game of Square this year
Deserved. Never played a KH but KH3 is simply a product that sprays joy. Yes, the game is easy, a tad repetitive, the story has a lot of cheese and filler... but the worldbuilding is amazing, those explorable Disney and Pixar worlds with lovely colours, cameos, details, it just feels great. It's a fascinating game all in all, for all its shortcomings.
Selling similarly to XV. Depending on legs, it should have a shot at 10 million. I'm more convinced 7R is going to be huge now, unless it turns out shit. Expecting 7R to sell 10-15 million lifetime. With XV and KH3 around 10 million, that'd be a 3 big hits for SE's Japanese arm.
Also God of War is sell-through. And it was at over 5 million sell-through within a month. It's had amazing legs and will end up over 15 million lifetime. KH3 is indeed selling worse than it and won't be getting near those numbers lifetime unless it has breakout legs no one could even predict.
Development was started in 2013 and restarted in 2014 with the engine switch. So it's either 5 or 6 years. Lol at 2-3.There was no game in 2013. If I had to guess full time development started when FFXV was being completed, so around 2-3 years.

Final Fantasy VII-R will have an even much bigger hype close to release than KH III. It's going to be insane.
How does 2013-2018 with 1 year for UE4 learning = 6 years to you lol? Going gold in November 2018, leaves them with somewhere between 3 1/2 to 4 years of development with approx one year for UE4 swap.
Well, RE2 was a much more hardcore game at least. KH3 was stripped of difficulty and gameplay complexities, so there's a tradeoff ;)
LOL people forget how powerful nostalgia is. See Crash, see Spyro.
FFVII is the other Ps1 juggernaut
People are not ready for the sales it is going to have.

Like, it's going to be huge. I'm expecting ERA to have its first page filled with only Final Fantasy threads when the time comes.
