@ ACE

you realize that he can have his own opinon. I think most Final Fantasies are much better than LO. I think mostly b/c of the LONG dev time that SE puts in and the huge amount of polish.

Yes I do, and mainly because the game is being built for the American/Western gamer. It's not a typical JRPG. Look at Kingdom Hearts sales figures, to see how games designed for American audiences sell in Japan compared to America.

With that being said, the 360 version will sell 2-1 the ps3 version in America, while the ps3 version will far outsell the 360 version in japan. 360 Owners are more likely to pick up The Last Remant (more so than Lost Odyseey) due to the fact that Square published it. Also, it's very action based, so the Mass Effect crowd will most likely give this a try.

Considering it's Square's next big RPG, I think it will sell atleast 2.5 million worldwide, and about 1.7 million of that in America. Only time will tell on that one. (I can't wait to revisit this thread 2 months after it's released and see how close I am).

Lost Odyssey, in my opinion, is doing well in sales. After this week, it should be over 400k units (with the next wave of american and european sales counted). I think it will land around 500-600k, which isn't bad for a system that is not known for RPGS. Let's face it, most RPG fans are buying PS3's for future RPGS, mainly ff13 and ff versus 13. But till those are released, their isn't crap RPG wise for the ps3.

Last Remnant, do YOU really think it will do "better" on 360..

in Japan it's sales are DEAD due to the PS3 version

outside of JAPan we can see from the sales of lost oddesy that it won't do that good..

wow...how dillusioned are you..

what JRPG's has square-enix made 360 exclusive...what Infinite Undiscovery...so THAT title is WAY bigger than FF13, FFvs 13, WKS..
Posted on: 03/07/08, 17:47

I never said Infinite Undiscovery was bigger than ff13. But, while SE has stated that ff13 will be ps3 exclusive (and they just did so this year), they have been reluctant to make that decision. The game is also using Crytal Tools (the new name for the white engine), meaning if SE wants, they can wait 6 months after it's released and make a 360 version also. The engine is cross platform. I, myself, would not be surprised to see versus, and ff13 make it's way to the 360, and possibly the pc. I still believe that the sales trends of Last Remnants will decided the strategy for ff13.

And, star ocean 4 has yet to be determined which platform it will be released on, but I have read on many sites that it's likely to be cross platform.

I am not "dillusioned"...hell, I'm not even a 360 fanboy. I love my ps2, ps1, and nintendo. I was reluctant to get a 360, as stated before. But, at the price systems are today, I had to chose one of the other, and, with how the rpg market is looking for the next year, I chose the 360. While a "Final Fantasy" game doesn't exist on the 360 outside of 11 (which I play), the rpgs on the 360 are good, and just as good as any non FF title out there.

It's kind of funny that Final Fantasy is one of the best selling franchises, and has multiple games in the top 20 best selling console games list. Maybe you might wanna retract that "What no one wants" statement.

If this game in PS3 It will sell more than 1 mil in Japan
Posted on: 03/05/08, 04:29

Can't agree with you on that one either. Last Remnants will put all the debates over which system will sell more RPGS. But, seeing how more JRPG companies are signing up to release exclusive games on the 360, and the 360 has such a small user base in their home country, that tells you which system is leading the RPG battle. With companies like Mist Walker, and Namco already producing top notch rpgs for the 360, and Square Enix making more RPGS 360 exclusive, and ones that aren't, are for both consoles (with the exception of FF13, which is stated to be a PS3 exclusive, but can change depending on Lost Remnants sales figures), I would have to give the advantage to the 360.

Only reason LO isn't selling well, is that there isn't enough RPGS to bring the RPG crowd to the 360, but, a lot of ppl who are like me (die hard RPG fan), will see the light like I have. With sony cutting down to only the 40 gig ps3 (with no backwards compatability), and with the very, very, very limited RPGS for the ps3 (and less in production that are exclusive), it's easy to realize that sony has lost it's rpg dominance. The 360 is the only next-gen system that offers an RPG gamer the games that he wants. As games like Last Remants, Infinited Undiscovery, and Tales of Vesperia make their launces, I expect Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, and Lost Odysessy to get a boost in sales.

I have long been a sony fan, as I was a nintendo fan before then. But, the market is changing yet again, and while I didn't get an original xbox cause of the lack of RPGs, I did get the 360, cause that is truly where the genre is heading.

Lost Odyssey is an incredible game. A number of game reviewers were unfairly harsh about the game being a "JRPG", but that's just the kind of game that I and many others love. I can't stand POS wrpgs like Oblivion... I think if an RPG gets blasted for being 'old' and derivative, then FPS sequels like Killzone 2 and Halo 3 should get blasted the same way. Such a ridiculous double standard

This game is the true successor to the Final Fantasy series... FFX + have been garbage. Twelve had a pretty good story, but the MMO style combat was lame.

Thanks for making yet another account to troll on the LO thread. Nice attempt to cover your profile, but the join date of today is a dead giveaway. It’s users like you that give the forums at VGC a bad reputation.

You made a VGC account just to bash LO? I'm glad there are fanboys like you to keep the world in check because I don't know what we would do if we didn't have your crucial opinions.

Anyways, I'm really enjoying this game. I just reached the forth disk and the storyline has me on the edge of my seat. If you really like JRPGs with a great storyline and good battle system you pick this game up even if it’s just to rent. I hope Mistwalker makes more games like this.

Most PS3 games don't have the legs that legs that Uncharted does though either so your argument is moot. Look at Mass Effect, which released around the same time as Uncharted and compare the legs.

Yep, I agree, but you also gotta think about how xbox sales work, sell high the first month, then taper off little by little. So uncharted's sales are misleading since it had great legs, I don't think this will.

not taking into account, that in "first week" Uncharted was available only at few retailers, who actually broke the release date and that this "first week" in Uncharted's case only was a "first day" (while other games usually have 4 days of sales in first week) = cherry picking

i see very low sales for this game, i spected that will be arount 1million, but i see what user type is the 360 user, the 360 user don´t like rpgs, mostly arcade games and fps, and maybe the box didn´t have the "only for x360" logo because the game may came to pc by the low sales. And i say low sales because a great production must be around 1-2million to be rentable.

I know business is business and MS and Sony are both competing - but its a shame that this is exclusive on 360 as its going to sell a lot less than it would on PS3. Not because PS3 is better before anyone flames, just because its not only a RPG but an RPG aimed, from what I can see, at the jRPG crowd, and 360 is not the right platform to reach that audience. Average games on PS3 are going to sell more than this in Japan.

i know i'm probably asking for it, but i don't think this will sell well in the USA. i'm sure it's a good game, but Japanese RPG's just aren't popular with the xbox crowd. i honestly can't think of one jrpg that did well on xbox.

the reason it's on the 360 is because Sakaguchi had a big falling out with square and sony after all the money they lost with "The Spirits Within" movie. naturally Sakaguchi went to sony's worst enemy, microsoft.

in the end, it doesn't matter how good a game is if it's marketed to the wrong people(most 360 owners have little interest in this type of game).
