Okay. How high are the chances for a new member like me to get a tag upon request?
I'd like to be Very Cool Like Heropon, which refers to an annoying sidekick that can't stop reminding people that he's there and constantly gets in the way. I'd say I've done a reasonable good job at building my resume so far.
You indeed have lmao.
Your chances to get a tag upon request aren't high.
There's a thread were tags and stuff are detailed, I forgot what it's called.
The WoM was after the game was out, how could BD2 have such thing, it's not out,
After the demo the point about Octopath was great music, cool gameplay, but not worth 60$ iirc (pretty much the same as BD2 actually)

OP
If games among different genres fight for the exact same audience we can make it even more general, every game fights for the same audience.
Momotaro and Mario Party have much bigger differences than between FPS and TPS, nearly 100% overlap has no base.
It had to be before Sephiroth's release so you missed out unfortunately, I don't think the mods will be back date it.
Extremely unlikely, they don't do requests.

Deadline: Before Media Create Sales: Week 5, 2021 thread gets posted.
Attention:
- Remember for some games it's not only the 1st week.
- Multiplatform entries are the combined available sales of each platform described.
- Do not edit your post after the deadline. If you do, you'll be disqualified.
- The official monthly hardware sales will be the sum of weekly numbers for all versions of the system available from Famitsu.
- The official monthly software sales will be the latest total or the sum of the weekly numbers if the title is release before the period available from the Famitsu Top 30.
- The official monthly sales for multi-platform releases will be the combined available sales of each platform shown in the title entry.
- The official monthly sales for games with multiple versions will be the combined available sales of each version shown in the title entry.
- Any game missing in the Famitsu top 30 will be taken out of the predictions.
It was more than just that, the art style was also a contributing factor too. The issues with BD2 current wom from the demo is the gameplay isn't that great, the art style is a bit off and it has good music. Different from Octopath Traveler
I don't think the Western audience is as loyal as the Japanese one as illustrated with Iceborne retention. But I expect a large number of PC players will return.
I think it could hit those heights with PC added to the mix. On one platform I can see it going better than Xbox but not touching PlayStation numbers.
Before (and after) the game was out, the most the artstyle did was fueling the fact that the game was not worth 60$ i would say, wouldn't be surprised if mention of "mobile game" wasn't made
I don't think Iceborne dlc would a fair representation considering the DLC ratio on ps platform we have seen though it has great legs

I remember clearly that after the demo for Octopath lots of people said the game wasn't worth 60 dollars because of the 2bit art-style.
Also there was lots of negativity in the review thread too. So I wouldn't be jumping the gun on Bravely just yet.

Point is that the game needs that good WoM like Octopath to do 2M or so. 1M is a lock I'm sure, above 2M will depend on how it pans out.
Online anyway.

Ultimately, I do expect all three to be a fair bit up compared to their respective previous releases, but how much up I wouldn't be able to tell you. TBH, I suspect these predictions will wind up being conservative.

Amusingly enough, 4 Heroes of Light was actually developed by a different studio (Matrix Software).

Didn't they basically get taken by Tokita to work on FF Dimensions/FFIV The After Years 3D remake?
The real weird thing is that horror game Tokita and Asano worked on for the Wii that was published by Marvelous for some reason...

Seeing how predominante NSW software has been throughout the year, it's astounding to say the least and this week is no exception. Would love to see more blue in the chart. So I recompiled all the info since 2017, W43 from the data pulled from the Famitsu archived thanks to Chris1964. I could put all the Top 30 in the same chart but it's quite a mess. So a top 15 made it visually clear. It's a WtW bar chart race
PD: It's almost 17 minutes long. So get comfortable and enjoy the ride. xD You can skip it to certain week too.

The opinions on Era don't necessarily mirror the impressions of the game in Japan, not to say that there aren't people who don't like the direction of the game, but I don't think we can say that if the game gets a bad WoM in the West it follows that it will have bad WoM here.
True it was more me saying that we really don't have a gauge on Bravely's sales yet because one marketing hasn't started imo and wom isn't there yet because the game hasn't released for either the West or Japan. Same way we couldn't gauge Octopath's sales until marketing started and wom was happening for the game. Era opinions doesn't matter in the long run either way.
Anyway it doesn't matter at this point because who knows the game could be bad. Hopefully that isn't the case tho.
if you go to NeoGaf (should i just say the "other place" nobody else seems to refer to it by name soooooo?) there is even older data.
regardless this is really good and helpful to visualize recent data. thanks. it must've taken a lot of time to do.
I don't think anyone cares anymore; the euphemism thing was kinda just for when feelings were a little raw back in 2017/2018. lot of people still do it but yeah it's whatever
Dont know where you got your general impressions but people are way more warmer on BD2 from the 2nd demo, they also noticed the graphical improvements
I think it's to prevent scalpers, who previously bought multiple switches. Of course if they aren't careful, you net families too.
Either way it's still quite funny to simplify it like that.

Yes, they did that, and a few of SE's terrible mobile ports as well.
And I had no idea about that horror game, looked it up. Huh, that sure is weird.
What I don't understand is that do they sell ps5 to people who buy multiple ps4?
Does it say anything about it in the news?
I think that Switch scalping has been a bit bigger, causing larger issues. Hence why they use that one as an indicator for scalping behaviour.
