      Should have just made a real FF rpg. Or better yet, give people what they want. I could care less about ff7 but lots of people want a remake of it. Just give them what they want square and people will give you money. Real simple.

      And now Square-Enix is going to look at these numbers and go, "Well, looks like we can't trust western developers to deliver the goods. Nothing but Final Fantasy games it is." *dumps out another crappy Final Fantasy sequel of a sequel*

      I think its just bad timing if you ask me. The console cycle is almost over and they were playing with a wild card that people wouldn't be able to predict.

      Geebus Squeenix. Lower your expectations :| I'm hoping this isn't because of ludicrously high development costs. I wonder how well they think Lightning Returns will sell, because i reckon they'll be dissapointed >.> Even if the game turns out to be great people won't still buy it cuz like..butthurt because of XIII series and stuff not being some almighty final fantasy game.

      Square wants those classic FF sales numbers. FF titles don't have to be marketed strong, however, as the FF fan base is going to by the next installment regardless. The company failed to market these games because the thought the Square Enix brand name automatically translates to fanboy (and girl) sales.

      Sleeping Dogs and Hitman were marketed terribly, I hardly saw any ads for them and Sleeping Dogs simply looked way too much like GTA and sounded like Watch Dogs. Tomb Raider however is surprising, a big name like that should have sold better. Still their expectations are way too high.

      CAUTION! NOW ENGAGING RANT MODE: Christ developers are putting expectations WAY too high nowadays, specifically eastern based companies such as Square Enix and Capcom. Seems like nowadays if any game isn't selling Call of Duty numbers it's considered a sales failure. I mean come on for Dragon's Dogma, Capcom put out sales expectations of 10 FUCKING MILLION COPIES!!! I mean it's a great game and it still sold very well (well enough for an expansion), but expecting it to sell that much bloody lunacy by any games standards especially a new IP. Moreover they considered Resident Evil 6, a game that has sold over 5 million copies to have sold under sales expectations, 5 million copies is considered below expectations nowadays, Christ they should be glad the game has sold as great as it did what with the horrible word of mouth surrounding the title post launch. As for these 3 games, none of them are even close to be considered failures from a sales perspective (although maybe Sleeping Dogs might count due to development hell eating up massive ammounts of money but it still sold well). Furthermore just counting the physical retail copies is not smart as Steam is an enormous contributor for the sales of each of these games (Tomb Raider was massively pre-ordered on Steam and is a top seller on the platform, while Sleeping Dogs has probably sold more than half of it's copies on Steam alone). To put things simply, developers need to stop comparing the sales of their games to the latest rotation of Call of duty/Battlefield/Fifa games and start to view things from a wider perspective, be realistic with expectations, not every game you make is going to sell close to the gargantuan sales of Call of Duty but it doesn't have to and by no means should it be judged as a failure purely because of that criteria alone. END RANT. ENGAGING VENTILATION MODE.

      Sweet, I absolutely love X-2. It's a vastly underrated game (something I may have been pretty vocal about on here). The only downside to this is having to buy FFX in order to play FFX-2, something I'm not exactly keen on doing, as there's absolutely no point to Tidus' existence. The entire story is about Yuna, not him, and it doesn't help that he's massively obnoxious and annoying.

      I really wish XII would get the same treatment. I've played it on PCSX2 at 1080p, and it looks absolutely stunning for a PS2 game, especially the character/enemy models. Would be amazing to play it on Vita, though.
