I think it's going to have more broad appeal than people are giving it credit. It's evident they want this to be their next FF7.
This is looking bad for them all around.
Witcher 3 set the bar on open world games, and Bloodborne/Souls series set the bar for RPG combat.
If FFXV isn't a 90+ on metacritic with massive word of mouth its gonna be a miracle if they can push 5 million copies, much less 10.
FFXIII had the good name of FF behind it still + it wasn't a bad game (It is an 83 on metacritic, and personally I liked it alot minus the linearity and Snow/Hope) + it was the first "HD" FF
All this has going for it is the hopes of people who want the FF series to be great again, and that demo did it 0 favors.
Umm did you miss that pre show..The franchise is damaged after the bad/mediocre games of the last generation and the excessive milking.
Even if the game ends up being undisputable "Game of the Generation" material, I doubt it would be as commercially successfull as they want to.
It already locked out the much of the female demographic by being a sausage fest roadtrip story.

PS4 and PS4k are the same game... same retail copy or digital download.5 mil on both ps4 and X1 (physical and digital) worlwide
1.5 PS4K
700,000 PC
Few years later 39.99$ International version (all DLC included plus all the 4k hd remaster VR stuff)
500,000 sold.
I doubt XV will get near that number, or be anywhere near as good as TW3.
Uh...there are probably even more female fans for this game now for that exact reason.It already locked out the much of the female demographic by being a sausage fest roadtrip story.
I really don't understand how the Souls games have become a paragon of RPG combat. There is so much hubris from the Souls community about those games sometimes. The combat is rewarding because of its simplicity and the difficulty of the enemies - its not like the combat itself is mechanically deep. It just isn't.
Are you serious?
Female gamers love the "boy band" approach.
Well, it wouldn't really be that hard considering how TW3 was a borefest.

Just like how DOAX3 locked out all the males.

I feel like the game will either live or die by it's world. TW3 has a really well crafted world and was really atmospheric with some really good characters populating it. I have yet to play a FF game with decent writing so that's not what I'm leaning on when I'm buying this. I'm buying it for the world we've seen because it looks pretty interesting to explore. Hopefully it really is.

The franchise is so big that Square managed to sell 7.5 million copies of FF XIII. They'll be fine.When I read the title I was like '' yeah, they should get 10m easily!' With all the hype around it and how , after 10 years, people are finally getting the ff13 ''versus'' we all wanted''
Then I read the thread, and woah, almost nobody believes they will do it. Hmm...
I guess Final Fantasy just isn't as big as I thought =/
In an alternate timeline, Kingsglaive is an Ivalice film written by Yasumi Matsuno with a script by Alexander O. Smith.

Did we learn nothing from Tomb Raider!?
Oh Square Enix...
Lmao people really have no idea what they're talking about. FF is a much bigger than MGS.How much did MGSV do?
It's definitely not hitting that.
But that was before FFXIII made lots of people unhappy. There was a big chunk of goodwill floating around.
I mean, did you see the sales drop after FFXIII? FFXIII-2? FFXIII-3?
FF12 had a solid story and solid writing if you separate out the shoehorned meddling S/E brass forced in with Vaan that required re-writes to give us a boring main character that only takes away from the interesting characters and components of the original story. That and the apparent rushed final couple acts of the story.

I find what was shown of FFXV to be quite unappealing yet I think FFXV will most likely ship more than 5M units worldwide without any miracle.If FFXV isn't a 90+ on metacritic with massive word of mouth its gonna be a miracle if they can push 5 million copies, much less 10.
