Sales Wise: Passed
Story Wise: Failed
Gameplay Wise:Mixed
In Comparison JRPGs: Better than most that have released this gen regardless of what many think of it.
In Comparison to other FFs: Failed because it can barely call itself a FF game seeing as they cut so much of what is FF out of it.
In Comparison to other FF game Sales: Epic Failed.
most games this gen have hit their highest numbers only a few Months after release(except Exclusives for some reason which seem to have longer legs) and then plummet in sales the rest of it's lifetime.
So what if it reached 6mil quicker than the rest, point being the game had massive discounting on it from day ONE and it will NEVER reach 10 million like FFVII or 8 mil like FFX.
I don't think the writer of this review is much of a fan of the game for reasons unknown to us. He didn't seem to even try the game. I read the review a few days ago. He makes a comment about not being able to map the buttons the way he wants but thats not entirely true. You can choose from multiple moves sets and map them to the corresponding button types as you see fit(such as which move is executed when pressing Circle and Back) This offers a LOT of costomizing options.

This game has me very excited and I think it will be THE reason to buy a Move controller this year. Wish it wasn't so far away tho :/ . Oh, well. Its not like SONY hasn't already given us a plethora of games to play throughout the year.
Hoping to see other promising Move titles this year. Really hoping to see a Sports Champions/Gladiator type RPG in the future. Why something such as that was not devised from the start is beyond me. It definitely needs more games that...
Sony's main focus for their gaming devices has always been "Creating the perfect Entertainment Hub". That is why they began the trend of not only making a game console play games, but make it become a focal point of all your entertainment needs.
Playstation One = Gaming + Music CDs
Playstation 2 = Gaming + Music CDs + DVDs
PSP = Gaming + Music + Movies + Comics + light Internet/Multiplayer capabilities + DD capabilities.

Cloud was never annoying. he was much more silent and contemplative so how can he be annoying? and just as Eamon said, FFVII Cloud is different than Advent Children Cloud.
And its not like he doesn't have reason for his grief, the love of his life was slayed right in front of him. How do you want him to act, like nothing bad even happened like every other RPG does after a horrible tragedy?
Easily!
Don't know why people always try to belittle the fact that hes the most dynamic of any FF hero since....ever.
definitely would say play the PSP versions. They come with many tweaks and addons that crippled the originals(I only have Persona1 Portable to go by this tho). If it is anything like the PSP version of the first, it will be above and beyond better. Also I prefer the remastered music scores done for the updates to the original soundtracks. They make them feel more like Persona 3 and 4.
Also would keep an Eye out for Cathrine(PS3/360) which is made by the Persona team. :)
Here is hoping this one comes to America. If I am not mistaken it was this iteration that skipped a US release last time around do to some questionable content apparently. It looks like it will be a lot of fun.
Hopefully tho when the game comes out the digital version of this game will come with the soundtrack and artbook as well(DD) so I won't have to buy the hard copy. As much as I LOVE owning the proper casing for my games, the fact that I won't be able to play the...
Lets just hope this time it doesn't take over a year this time to be ported to PS3/360, especially seeing as the arcade version was a dumbed down PS3 console anyway. I think that effected the sales tremendously of the latest iteration(as well as its normal faults).
Totally agree. I used to work at gamestop around the time the game came out. The game was very popular among new PS3 buyers and virtually everyone I know that bought it liked/loved it....contrary to the the reviews that made the game sound horrific. The game also became cult classic, meaning even years after its release it stayed at a high sell point. It was still like 40 used over 1.5 yrs after release.
Heavenly Sword was my first PS3 game and it made me want to explore what...
This makes me happy in a vendictive kind of way. Ninja Theory was bashing Heavenly Sword(A Game I thought was GREAT!) and Sony the entire time they were working on this game. They say that the 1.7mill Heavenly Sword meant nothing, how they made little money. Yet now we see a game on multiple platforms that sold far less than its predecessor that it was meant to succeed. More proof that MP does not equal more sales automatically.
They should have just made HS 2. I am expecting...
Did either one of you play Heavy Rain or Modnation Racers? Both stellar games in my opinion.
Maybe if they didn't splinter their fanbase by constantly releasing on (seemingly) random consoles with each iteration and just stuck to one or all.Any old PS2 RPG fan would have picked up a PS3 this gen in hopes that it would be the same way but PS3 seems to be the main system JRPG developers shafted in the beginning :/, Its no surprise JRPGs r suffering sales wise in US. Also odd how the only JRPGs to reach past 1mill in US are FFXIII(Duh, no way it wasnt),Valkyria Chronicles, and Demon...
This guy has no idea what he is talking about. Hes obviously never played a kingdom hearts game beyond the initial intros, and knows even less about the Versus.
He complains that the combat looked uninteresting.... Seriously? Did we even watch the same videos? The new vid had my attention from the jump with the crisp CGI to the KH like combat. And if the game is anything like KH, combat will definitely be something to behold.
I hate it when spectators try to ...
This list is Hilarious! and also SPOT ON!!! I was definitely expecting to see more Final Fantasy Characters tho. Could not believe they passed up the chances to rag on Sephiroth,Kuja,Warrior of Light, pretty much all of Yoshitaka Amano's work yet instead picked Hope.....
If you were gay, you would know that 10% is far to small of a piece of the pie...
1 our of 10 men is supposedly an "out" gay man. That would be me. 2 out of those same 10 I have messed with ;) lol (sry if my ludeness offends you but I am trying to be serious). As you said that scale is skued in many ways. It does not take in account...
-Many Men and Women are closeted or have gay feelings and never act on them do to the society's "norm".
While I can agree with what you are saying that is not really the topic at hand.
The fact of the matter is LGBT make up around 20-25% of the world. That is a sizable amount to be constantly omitted by a game designer while trying to make your game world believable. Like I said earlier, I personally realize and accept majority of gamers are straight males, thats fine. I am just saying in a game where I am suppose to feel that the character I am playing is ME, I should be able ...
WOW i have never seen such close minded bigotry in one sitting. Firstly Homosexual relationships is rather common, within humans and within the animal kingdom. Yea, there exist more heteros than homos but there are also more asians than any other race so should all video games have asian characters? Just because you are a majority does not give you or anyone else more right to something than a minority.
And I understand that you purposely are trying to evoke something from an...
@Alpha Male
Actually I think u technically COULD arrest the world(or anyone who took it).
Its like with drugs. There are those who are legally allowed to possess them. If someone distributes them illegally they can be held accountable. Yet also anyone who purchased them can be be charged with illegal possession.
The average joe is not suppose to have these codes/data so by nature they illegally posses them and can be charged.
Now sh...
