Based on the early artwork it definitely seems like it will resonate more with an international audience (as would a focus on action combat), and perhaps even the japanese audience as well.

I'm actually getting some botw vibes from this. Cottamn is that beautiful :p
I mean, concept art is generally a reflection of their artistic vision for the game.
Welcome to my hell.
it's cool. And if that is the MC's costume or design, I'm definitely down.
Yeah. Seeing these salary men wearing their suits under this weather, I feel sorry for them. I was a white collar so I totally understand how they feel. At least most of them don't need to wear full suits.
For me the ultra-light coolbiz suits, even with a jacket, are actually cooler than denims for example.
Just the art style being more western fantasy, and not going deeper into Xeno2/FE "anime" direction is enough to get a lot fans more hyped for this. Then there's the part where it's a pretty cool art.
TSUTAYA Ranking Sales, 2018 ( Jul 16 - Jul 22)
Just checked it out. It's some sort of party game.
200k is a low goal though. Hopefully the long term supply is good after the initial crunch, because this game should easily outsell Bravely Default. The demand is definitely there.
"Easily" outsell bd? Wasn't that like 340k?
Bravely Default came out in Oct 2012, at the end of 2012 MC had it at 283k. In 2013 it sold another 25k, ending the run at 308k. I think >300k is definitely achievable for Octopath, given how it hasn't even had a holiday run yet, has excellent word of mouth, there's still nothing like it on the market or platform today, and the initial demand is certain as strong or stronger than Bravely Default (opened at about 140k without stock problems).

Oh ok. I guess I could see 300k.
Had no idea. Thanks for the info.
Its fair enough about wanting a roadmap showing upcoming content, but do you think this would make much difference in sales post launch? Capcom has provided a steady release schedule with additional content for MHW, so they've uphold their words on this even if there isnt a roadmap showing it. If anyone doubted that they would release content post launch like they said, then Capcom showed that they delivered as promised. I might be missing something, but these are the things that i can think of that were added later on: Street Fighter 5 content, Mega Man content, Devil May Cry content, Devil Jho, Kulve Taroth, Lunastra and soon upcoming Behemoth from Final Fantasy. I dont think thats too bad in about ~6 moths.
That can be the case indeed, but for Monster Hunter, it doesnt seem to have been any problem so far at least. No other MH games have gotten as much post launch content as MHW, but G-releases have always sold well. I always thought that one of the main reasons for this is because people are hungry for new content.
