It's not preordering that bad at Comg by the looks of things so far. I think Octopath was in the upper 20s at this point.
I think Story of Seasons and Rune Factory might be overperforming more than Bravely is underperforming.
There is one before then, although I do not expect it to meet Capcom's expectations
Horrible graph to look at from Capcom, but I guess it's great for PR talk
It's a textbook example of making lines and graph without enough real data but presenting it in a way to make the reader think what you want him/her to think.
Biggest thing being the total lack of data in abscissa
Which one ?
Well just to Add Context , the chart I pull this off was from their Growth Strategy Mid to Long Term Slides in the presentation which had 4-5 pages of Details. From Page 34.
It's because of lack marketing for BD and 3D World releasing soon which has all the focus now.
Bravely it doing well on COMG so I don't see it bombing like some are expecting. It seems like the game has a lot of things going against it. Hopefully it beats all odds.

I feel like there hasent been any real marketing, like I dont watch t.v. much at all but has there been any commercials? Where are the ads? Wheres the hyping up?
Nintendo is waiting for the release of 3D World + Bowser's Fury before they start up the Bravely Default II marketing engine.
Now we can finally see a PS5 game in the top 30.
NSW - 15
PS4 - 4
PS5 - 1
Total: 170 (-135)
That only gives them a couple weeks of hyping up, also maybe I just forgot but I didnt know Nintendo was publishing
not something we can divine right now. if you want to be safe, just more of the same. like a 64-128GB emmc flash storage and SD cards again. UFS is an option if they want to give an advantage to digital users though. but physical and people who put their games on SD cards will be at a disadvantage
Maybe that was a bit high, I fixed it to 1.6mil physical.

I wanted Octopath 2 but hope Bravely does okay. I have no interest in it but it seems high effort.

Capcom could always port Zack and Wiki if they are desparate for legacy content 👀

The Bravely series is so, so insanely better than Octopath. I wish it would do twice as well. :(
Out of curiosity, what do you like better about bravely?
Characterization, voice acting, soundtrack and how meta the game can be. They legit have you
almost delete your save file in Bravely Second while breaking the fourth wall. Not to mention the sub-title twist with F(lying) F(airy) in the first game.
A single tight plotline works much, much better than the eight standalone stories that aren't interwoven whatsoever. The only thing Octopath has on Bravely Second is the glorious pixel art.
Phew I was worried that CyberConnect 2 missed a crucial platform. Xbox Series X confirmed after all
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Hinokami Keppuutan officially confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC - Gematsu

It feels like send to die by SE tbh. A Nintendo Direct mini for BDII maybe?
Soundtrack? No way. Octopath is a absolutely as good or better. That soundtrack is probably the best of this entire gen
Yea I don't think Bravely Default II will have much growth from the previous entry, if growing at all. There's nothing wrong with it, but that's about the best we can say about it. It's a better looking Bravely Default, it also plays better from what I tried in the demo, but it's still pretty much Bravely Default for better or worse. The game will sell respectably but I don't see anything that will attract people other than the fanbase it already have. It entirely depends on how much the Switch JRPG audience wants to play Bravely again. Rune Factory 5 is a bigger jump and it will be reflected in sales.
that aesthetic is so good though, i would do bad, bad things for an FFV and VI remake in the octopath style 💦
Yeah Octopath looks amazing, guess that's part of it's appeal. Didn't get around to play it yet though.
FFVI remake. I would think it would be nice if it was a cross between DQ and XC, yeah that would be how i would prefer it.
What? Octopath absolutely cannot compete against Bravely Default in the soundtrack department. It's absolutely not even close. Bravely Second does leave a bit to be desired but Default more than makes up for it.
I'd buy those remakes in a heartbeat!
Indeed, did the marketing even start?
Nintendo being much more silent recently isn't helping at all.
It not only competes but surpasses it so I guess you are kind of right ;)
I will NOT accept any slander! Octopath would never pull this off:
Octopath Traveler has one of the best soundtracks ever. Bravely is kinda whatever.
Octopath >>> Bravely
Wont wish anything bad on Bravely 2 as far as sales or quality but I have never been less interested in a game than this. Bravely already peaked (lower than Octopath too). There are so many more interesting systems at play in Octopath that can be expanded and grown. I also appreciate the take on an open world 16 bit style game. Very fresh and unique.

That's surely epic.
And that is very beautiful.
Both are great, how about that?
Lmao.
Ok, Octopath has a better soundtrack.
