lololol ^^And what did it end up with lifetime sales again? I think if Octopath doesn't pass that by a large amount it won't be seen as a success by some people.
The specific people from the other thread right?
I joke I joke sorry :]

In Japan Octopath Traveler LTD should come close to Bravely Default, if not surpassing it. Word of mouth will determine that.
Worldwide it will have no problem to top its LTD already from initial shipment.

They will eclipse their initial goals in the first week. This game was green lighted before the Switch was a proven success and the positive reception from the demo.I really hope SE can reach their personal goals with this game so we can see more of these kind of project in the future
Will it be the Monster hunter they said will be on Switch (which of course is never gonna be out of Japan)

Doubt it. They seemed specific in that they'd be making entries specifically for Switch.
Frontier was always that side game that never "replaced" actual entries. Wii U got Frontier and 3U, and Switch will likely get this, but it won't stop say Monster Hunter 5/Monster Hunter World Portable from happening on it.
3DS could've had Frontier if Capcom thought of streaming it which I'm surprised they never did after SE showed it was possible with Dragon Quest X. And the main games clearly weren't going to be on Vita and it was easy enough to bring Frontier to it so they did.

going by how they're supporting this game, I feel they really should have just made a sequel instead

I feared that Captain Toad would have been overshadowed by everything going on next Friday but it might open higher than the WiiU version. Legs shouldn't be a problem so it might perform well for a port.

I do wonder if they'll take this opportunity to bring Frontier to Switch and Xbox One. Frontier's Wii U and Xbox 360 clients are ending service in August so it'd make some sense for each if they plan to continue Frontier much longer. Will there ever be a Frontier 2?Will it be the Monster hunter they said will be on Switch (which of course is never gonna be out of Japan)

I always thought Captain Toad was one of the better Wii U games.
Apparently abunch of people on Era think that Pokemon has budget issues lol. https://www.resetera.com/threads/wh...al-is-held-back-the-most-by-its-budget.53900/
Like half the replies are Pokemon.
Pokémon doesn't have a budget problem, I think the issue is more Game Freak insists on doing everything themselves. Similar issue as with PD and GT.
The real issue is manpower and ambition. Monster Hunter was in a very similar position, but then they actually sat down and did the work to take it to the next level. It doesn't look like it's happening with Pokémon. Maybe that fabled 2019 game will be it...Apparently abunch of people on Era think that Pokemon has budget issues lol. https://www.resetera.com/threads/wh...al-is-held-back-the-most-by-its-budget.53900/

That's entirely a limitation of management though. Throwing more money at development won't solve any problems when GF doesn't want to rapidly expand or outsource.Budget and size of the studio are heavily correlated. A sizable chunk of a game's budget comes from paying the employees. Since GF are not big and are nearly releasing a game per year, the dev budget for their games is not "AAA".
However, their marketing budget totally is.

People who look for graphics and scope in a Pokémon game don't understand what the franchise represents. The actual next-gen evolution of Pokémon was definitely Pokémon GO.
... Pokemon Go looks absurdly low budget and basically didn't work in its first two months and is based around one minigame.
Something can be successful and low budget (Pokemon Go definitely is!) or good and low budget (Pokemon Go definitely is not! It's extremely bad), but I don't think Pokemon Go is high budget or anything.
Maybe the problem is that you do not understand how good a game like Pokémon Go has to stay.

The game didn't work for the two months I tried to play it... It didn't come off as a All Hands on Deck level effort.
See: Pokémon doesn't need to be "high budget" or have a "high-quality graphics" to have a place in today's market and evolve. Pokémon is about collecting and playing with other people. Pokémon GO, which is still one of the most successful games out there, had everything Pokémon had to be to evolve the franchise.
There are some franchises that don't benefit or don't necessarily need a high budget or a top-notch graphics. We should stop applying the same logic to every game. The most successful games at the moment are a remaster of a 5 year old game (GTAV), a game with 3D pixel graphics (Minecraft) and a game which is absolutely average in every technical aspect (Fortnite).
I just looked at SM's credits and outside some modeling outsourcing (Planeta, Creek & River) basically all dev staff works at Gamefreak, Nintendo or Creatures.That is false and seeing the credits of any Pokémon you can check.
