FFXIII-2 didn't bomb as far as I could tell. I suspect they didn't expect main series sales for a spin-off.

I will laugh so hard the day this game comes out and turns out to be awful because they had to rush this shit out the door.
Comparison to X-2 puts XIII-2 way behind. So yeah, bomb.

It bombed. There's no two ways around that.
The game was a waste of money... only got worse when they started pimping out paid DLC.
I don't think so. Nomura is ridiculously stubborn and has a hard time letting his "vision" get changed, at least based on things I've heard about the guy.

SE can go fuck themselves. Just show a fucking trailer, it's not that hard. You might even get some credibility back.
And for real Nomura? This is you guys trying your best to get info out as fast as possible? Not a single piece of news since last January.

Don't worry guys, HD towns are difficult to make. I'm sure the game is on track to be released sometime soon!
800K in Japan.
400K in the US.
Don't have European numbers but they can't be too far off of the USA number.

i am actually not that excited about the game itself. I just want it out of the way so that they can move on to something unrelated to ffxiii.

I see, I thought it was standing around 2 million. I guess that was shipped.

Anyone want to take bets on whether this will come out before or after The Last Guardian?
I suddenly feel very sad right now

I'd say after... ='(
Well that's soured my afternoon.
This game is one for the history books. I can only hope a good journalist does a post-mortem when this is finally released. The true story behind its development could make for a fascinating read.
Let's hope S-E have learnt their lesson with XIV and a protracting Versus' development to ensure they have a winner. Or maybe they've delayed it until next-gen.

KH2 was actually fun game and many people enjoy it more than KH1.
FFXI is the most profitable FF game ever, an MMO that still has around 500 000 subsribers and a very loyal following.
DQ8 actually did very well in the West and is kinda the opening to the world of DQ for most of the players. So...your point?
Also FFXII is anything but 'classic FF'. It's a great game, just not a Final Fantasy.

But at least Half Life 3 will come out before this!............right?

The ps2 was the golden era for KH, not FF. Only FFXII was good. X was shit, and XI being an MMO turned off the majority of the fanbase. Also, the huge wait between FFX and FFXII. FF's golden era was ps1, no doubt about it.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
What's the PS3 and 360 breakdown for XIII-2 in the US?
Pretty sure XIII-2 will reach Greatest Hits though.

not only were there more hits for square during the PS1 era, but they expanded their audience greatly with FFVII.
plus, you didn't have to spend nearly as much to enjoy the PS1 games.
true golden era= PS1
This is wrong.
They made far more money, games, and "hits" during the PS1 era.
Overrated and smothered by nostalgia.

not to get very off-topic, but 12 was very far away from the classic and traditional FF elements. I mean I enjoyed the game for what it was, but it didn't have an FF feel at all.

It felt within the FF feel to me. FF is always changing but it had the core elements.
I felt the style was back to being a original fantasy world as in VI, rather than more post-VII anime tropes.
I have the same opinion.
Final Fantasy XII was just something other and probably did more hurt to name it Final Fantasy XII than naming it Own title.
Also butchering story and characters didn't end well too. It was MMO closed in Single Player RPG.

Whoa, I never understood why I was comfortable with FF12 either, but I think the fact that it was close to VI and my inherent love for Ivalice might just be the reason.
Boco has solved a mystery.
I'm thinking Half-Life 3 is a Q4 2013 (and primarily next-gen) game at best*, so, maybe.
* Assuming it's not announced until next year.
Anime tropes like riding mechs, transforming teenage girls, and gigantic city-sized robot rampages?
I agree.
But then I'd go even further and say it wasn't a great game either. The weird pacing, total collapse of the narrative, and kinda offbeat battle system did not click with me in the slightest. I kept on waiting for the game to "go" but it felt like it was just running place until I made it about 70% of the way through and put it down.
People were amazed by fancy SE CGI and actually not a single minute of gameplay until 5 years in and even then it was only like 6 months in "full production".
People fell for something that, dimply, doesn't exist.
I smell a "Revengeance" case now, they have NO IDEA what to do with it.

and amnesia. lol
But I just felt XII and VI were original fantasy worlds.. akin to something like a good Ghibli film.... more divorced from the post-VII shonen manga influence (Nomura). I love all the FFs but those two felt different.. and I want more.
That did happen, I concede.
Seriously people, when will you all learn? This game simply does not exist. It never has, nor will. It's never coming out. Honestly at this point it's akin to the great stories of old, like Nessy or Big Foot.
But seriously, fuck this shit. Announced six years ago and still nowhere near release. 2013 is probably a stretch at this point. Fuck Nomura, just make Kingdom Hearts 3 (another terribly handled series...) and then be done with it.

Honestly, FF6 was just as "anime" as the current ones.
It just had LESS details, graphics and such, to show this. People's imaginations filled in the blanks, especially when you first played it as a 12 year old. The oft-vaunted towns that people screamed so hard about missing in FF13? If you looked at the maps of the FF6 towns, they are almost all EXACTLY the same.
FF6 was not original or unique. It was your imagination that made the earlier FFs have "original" fantasy worlds.
What a story this is. Have they actually been working on it since 06 or did they start fully developing it last year?
Amazed how so many great rpg and open world games with HD TOWNS has been released since 06.... ACreed, Oblivion, Skyrim, Batman and complex games like MMOs, Aion, Tera and TOR.

Versus is unique in that it is never coming out.
