It's a step forward, but in the scheme of things 35,000 isn't that good for a whole market. Attach an accelerometer to the game, it'll sell 350,000.

Yeah that's true but this isn't the average RPG you would find in Japan. For being a Westernized RPG, and for how abysmal sales are in Japan. That's pretty good sales.

Japan has the same bad taste in RPGs as America, I suppose.

All the voice overs must be the reason of a very late release date.

That's interesting. I didn't think Japanese liked that style of RPG.

Not really as much as before. See if people would actually see what those as they see "strange" names of games on the media create list. You'll know that RPG's aren't as popular there. Adventure games *phoenix wright* have taken the new tourch it seems.

Giving Odin Sphere a 7.6 is bad taste.

Funny that Oblivion has one of the most horrid combat systems ever, also that most console JRPG's are real-time fighitng. So stop your stupid stereotyping.
