You're right Streak they are great sales :) I had the pleasure of talking to a Japanese gamer at an arcade I used to work at. He was "in the know" if you know what I mean. He told me some things about the way the gamers do things over there as a movement with their gaming dollars that really made me mad. I won't tell you what they are, but it made me re-think things. Okay, I'll shut up now. XIII does look like it will sell excellent though. I bet SE is popping the corks right now huh haha

Crash Bandicoot franchise on PS1 altogether sold like 2 million copies. GTAIV sold like 500, 000 copies. Let's face it, these are awesome sales!

@Johnnytesta So I guess it is a coincidence that Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Halo 1, 2, and 3, and ODST, Halo Wars, all Grand Theft Auto titles, Sonic the Dark Brotherhood (DS), Fable 1, and 2, Fallout 3, etc, I could go on forever, but all mentioned games are Western developed and sold incredible in America and Europe, but in, you guessed it, Japan........yeah go look for yourself. I have talked to Japanese gamers and they totally admit that it is like a mass movement over there to 'not' buy our games. Only a fool would say all those games are bad and so they didn't sell well in Japan. I don't care at all. Video games 'and' role playing were invented in the West and we've had them ever since. That is true history that even Hironobu Sakaguchi would agree with. I just think it is sad that we give them our money and buy their games, but in return?......It is an insult to Biowaer, Valve, Bungie, etc I wish Dragon Quest IX after selling 4 million copies in Japan would only sell 10,000 here. Now that would be good karma.

The central point of the battle system has changed. Removing the ability to control the characters you choose to control directly and forcing you to control them indirectly has made this an extremely strategy-oriented game. I think it's fantastic.

Only FF I enjoyed more than this so far is IX. It's about on-par, in my opinion, with X, my second favorite. I haven't been this excited about a game for a very long time.

Really wondering how this will sell. I mean, this may be the first PS Final Fantasy that will NOT top 3 million in Japan. There's no way this will beat out FFVII, VIII or X. I have a hard time believing that. Those all 3 combined sold an average of 8.47 million copies. FFXIII will likely have a difficult time breaking the 5 million mark. I wish I was wrong, though.

I have always liked the art direction in FF games. It is so 'not' your typical 'copy everyone else' Japanese animation like most games from that region. They have always kind of did things their own way. It looks like XIII is not going to disappoint. I'm not an anime hater don't get me wrong, but it is refreshing to see something original.

Do you mean FF13 360 version Japan sales will surpass 1.69M???

or WII version(if there will be one in the future)

---PS3's been rising steadily since its launch day.
FF13 Japan:1.69M
FF13 Global:????
MGS4 Japan:0.69M
MGS4 Global:4.40M
Uncharted FW:0.13M
Uncharted LW:2.86M

I guess so, but I also would have to figure that some people with a 360 were waiting to buy a PS3 (pre-announcement) when FFXIII came out. Given that most big titles are already on both platforms, this may have been their only reason to want a PS3. They're a minority, and it certainly wouldn't have had as much of an effect as it did in Japan, but I think it would have been measurable.

Although I might only think that because I personally waited on getting a PS3 until FFXIII was imminent.

FF13 wouldn't be system seller in the west.
FF fans already bought the PS3 before was announced the 360 version.
In the western only hardcore gamers are FF fans, so they presumably already have 1 or more consoles. In the Japan many FF13 fans are casual, thus they wait the game the game to launch to buy.

Wow, Square Enix really kicked Sony in the balls by releasing FFXIII on the 360 in the US, and I didn't really realize the magnitude until now.

XIII carried PS3 sales to new highs in Japan like everyone would expect it to... but XIII is not going to help the PS3 against the 360 at all when it's on the 360 too. Unless the PS3 version is in some way measurably better, of course.

That being said, I don't see the 360 and PS3 versions having that much of a difference in sales in the US. FF's true home is still the Playstation, and it's much more likely, I think, to connect with the smaller PS crowd than it is to connect with the larger 360 crowd. PS3's potential sales will be much lower but attach rate will probably be much higher.

When i read a comment like this i just want to go out and shoot a rabbit. Coming from someone who's played and nearly completed the import...i'm gonna tell you this. Play the game before judging the BS. Trust me on this...for this system you DO NOT want to control more than one character. And theres more implications than that anyway.

PS3 finally has its system seller in Japan (Uncharted 2, MTG4, and FIFA/PES were big sellers in the other regions). 2 thoughts:
1. It's about time.
2. It comes at a crucial time for PS3, as we are seeing the system turn the corner from trying to do too much (and thus not being very good at anything), to returning to its roots and really improving the quality of its gaming experience. Well done.

@Kyuu

There is no way FFXIII is selling that much opening week in Japan... or even lifetime unless the PS3 gets a humongous jump in number of consoles sold in Japan.

There is like 2.8 million PS3's in Japanese homes right now You're basically banking on every single PS3 owner buying a copy of the game. At best the PS3 might have 3.5 million consoles in homes across Japan by the time the release date rolls around. I'm sure there will be an incredible hardware boost, but don't expect this to sell like previous FF's in Japan. PS3 doesn't have the numbers for that, this is why they are putting FFXIII as a multi-plat for the rest of the world, to counterbalance the loss in sales they will experience in Japan.

Now the PS3 is picking up steam in Japan this year, so maybe they might push 1.5-2 million consoles between now and December if Sony are lucky. But that would pretty much mean that this year has to be it's best year to date. I could see possibly 1 million lifetime in Japan if their sales stay as they are now (which is higher than they have been for a while).

It's really sad people voting low scores for games just because they are on a platform that they are not a fanboy of... Some people need to seriously grow up!

Huh? What's with the score? Shame indeed.

Gotta love the people on this site. I just noticed that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate (DS) is the second best rated Final Fantasy game on here despite only being release in Japan so far. Although I do realize that it hasn't accumulated many votes so far, but it is still ridiculous and embarrassing for these anonymous kids.

Just gave it a 10. I don´t know if the game will deserve it but I´m sure it doesn´t deserve a 4...

Well, my vote helped boost it to a 5 >.>

P.S. This game looks orgasmic if the "gameplay" part of the trailer is true, which i'm 90% sure of.

Sadly, I can't.

And the thing that's even sadder is that the ratings probably came from some of our most trusted and respected members. WiiFit gets near a 9 rating and this gets slaughtered.

If this game was on the Wii it would probably have a score of 9.47/10

Shame indeed...looks like if there were any ones that some people have put some high numbers in to balance it out. Games shouldn't be allowed to be rated until they are at least released.

A fantastic entry in the series, with it's main flaw being that it takes a very long time for the combat to reveal it's greatness. Makes FF VII look like a pile of oily rags. Set that shit on fire and give FF XIII a try. Before long, you'll be glad Aeris is dead.

Combat was pretty aight, graphics were great, musics were godlike, game was pretty long, but the thing is that the game takes pretty much 25 hours to actually take off and feel like an actual FF game. And it still has meh characters and an average story.

The game isn't THAT awful, but it's certainly painful to play at times, since we know it might end up be great, but we have to stick through hours of ultralinear gameplay before it finally gets interesting.

FF X was very linear too at the beginning, but it at least made up for it with a great story and a shorter "intro", imo.

The 4th best selling in the franchise ( 7.45M ) behind VII, X, and VIII .That is without counting the PC version.
