[QUOTE="axt113"]Final Fantasy hasn't been that big of a seller, even on the PS2 it never sold more than 8 million, and that's on a system with over 100 million consoles soldGQ_Smoothie07
Thank you my point EXACTLY. It has mainly sold to that diehard group but other then that it's not the mega selling game. Just FF7 was. But yeah like this guy says 100 million PS2 and only about 8 million FF games sold that's not a god percentage at all really. It's just that tight nit group buying the game.
Â
So what other games sell better than? 8 million is pretty darn big. All I can think of is HALO and GTA that are the system sellers if your going by sales.Â
Spoken like someone who
a) doesn't own a PS3
and b) hasn't played a Final Fantasy game.
Let go of that envy dude. It's going to give you an ulcer.
:o2largeadults
lol, final fantasy sucks always hated it.
the franchise shouldnt even be made anymore.
i agree final fantasy sucks... but the ps3 dont need saving, its got killzone, mgs4, warhawk and a load of others that can do that job just fine:roll:hip-hop-cola
those games arent good enough.

Killzone 2 has much more of a chance of flopping than Final Fantasy 13, you only have to play the last game in the series to know that.Â

Isn't that intent of a franchise? It's overly redundant to say that a series sells to pretty much the same people. Of course it does that, is there any series in gaming that doesn't attract many of the previous gamers that played it before?
How many other games series can claim such high sales between two releases? Not many.
Further more ,one game isn't enough to show a trend such as "declining".

Sold poorly? The game has almost sold 5 million and it hasn't even become a greatest hit yet or even been out for half a year yet(In most territories). It's a little premature to say the game didn't sell well don't you think?

Care to share what you consider to be a good game? Oh that's right. You have a troll account. Dismissed.The only truth that has been told is that you don't like Sony or Final Fantasy. Big deal!! I like Sony and Final Fantasy just like millions of other people. LOLThe truth is there has been so many FF games and some have had good scores and some have had less then good and some have had mid range scores. So all in all it makes it an ave scoring game for the duration of the franchise.
This game is cleary the most overated game there is. And it's really not that great of a game or franchise. It's a jRPG with girly looking dudes that have bad hair days and just plain bad dialog most of the time.
Well we all know the PS3 is a sunking ship and FF WILL NOT SAVE PS3. Why you say FF has never been the highest selling game for any of the PS systems. FF games are for a certin group of gamers why yes it's a pretty big group but the TRUTH is the game itself does not set sales records. And neither does or has it ever MGS franchise just throwing that out there also becuase some try to say thats the seller to and it's really not either.
:shock:Truth has just been told.

So, by using the logic demonstrated in this thread, I have to post just one false self-proclaimed fact and I can get over seventy-seven replies?
HALO SUX AMIRITE
ZELDAÂ SUX AMIRITE
BASKIN ROBINS HAS 32 FLAVORS AMIRITE
If my hypothesis is correct, I should be moderator in no time.
Truth be told, I have great respect for the Final Fantasy series because it's one of the few long-running franchises that attempts to reinvent itself every new iteration. Well, except for Chocobo Racing.
That can burn in Tartarus.
I am a Wii-owner, sheep, mindless drone, etc. etc. etc. and even I want a PS3 to play FF XIII. Is it overrated? Not as a series. Are certain FF games overrated? Yes, but it depends on who you talk to. I'd say FF7 is overrated, but that's because everyone talks about it like it was Jesus Christ's 2nd coming.
All I can say is that if I am allowed to get excited about a franchise GC port (Zelda:TP), then PS3 owners are allowed to be excited about a franchise built-from-the-ground-up-for-the-PS3 game.
FF12 wa the HIGHEST selling game in Japan and Europe for months. yeah, only a small number of people like it.The truth is there has been so many FF games and some have had good scores and some have had less then good and some have had mid range scores. So all in all it makes it an ave scoring game for the duration of the franchise.

Final Fantasy rules. Piles of garbage are overated though. I agree with you there.
Why does everyone assume this guy is a lemming? His profile is blank. Why did I assume he/she was a guy? Hm........

HAHAHAHAHA!!! You quite clearly have no idea. Just becuase you don't like FF doesn't mean it isn't great! I know from first hand experience that FF7 through to 12 are all great, with 9 being the weakest but it was still great! So, alas, you are wrong, it is if anything underrated, the PS3 isn't a sunking ship (and it isn't even a SINKING ship) and it's a combination of great games suck as FF, MGS and Ratchet and Clank that will make the PS3 victorious. NOW the truth has been told.The truth is there has been so many FF games and some have had good scores and some have had less then good and some have had mid range scores. So all in all it makes it an ave scoring game for the duration of the franchise.

Final Fantasy hasn't been that big of a seller, even on the PS2 it never sold more than 8 million, and that's on a system with over 100 million consoles soldaxt113
Games sell consoles. One game won't sell all consoles, since not everyone is into all genres. PS2 sold so so many becuase its diverse and pretty much excelled in all genres. So its understandable that FF would sell 20 Million copies
[QUOTE="hip-hop-cola"]i agree final fantasy sucks... but the ps3 dont need saving, its got killzone, mgs4, warhawk and a load of others that can do that job just fine:roll:UndyingVayne

OMG, how long has killzone been talked about. i though the first one was a fresh new thing for fps. yes, it had its problems but i loved it. and mgs4.....do i need to say anything. final fantansy has been done SO many times and all that changes are the graphics. iv played it, u spend day and night lvling up ur charcters to kill the boss. then u get killed by the next boss, so u go bk to lvling up. the ps3 is a console with a lot of things going for it, it dosnt need saving. if blueray wins the format wars(which is looks like it is) the ps3 wins 2Thanks for your opinion, that which I'm sure some people may agree with, and a majority will not.The truth is there has been so many FF games and some have had good scores and some have had less then good and some have had mid range scores. So all in all it makes it an ave scoring game for the duration of the franchise.
