Wow @ FF4, I guess Japan couldnt wait to play with Cecil and Kain again.

lonestarmt6007d ago

Darkiewonder6007d ago

Skerj6007d ago

those charts are flawed
prologue was numba 3 last week
it can't just hit the bottome like this
remove this lame post

edit: from what i understood, this chart is only for game sales on their first day, and since gran turismo launched last week it is not included
but time crisis 4 sales are dissapointing, maybe all of the japenese gamers have already played it in the arcades

TANOD6007d ago

relax

PROLOGUE would sell an additional 70/80k this week

FFIV needs to come stateside ASAP. I might just bust out the SNES version today for the hell of it.

Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster Review – An Epic Tale Of Pixelated Portrayals

Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.

If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.

The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece

This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.

I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!

RavenWolfx464d ago

Yeah, I am similar. 4 and 6 are my favorites, with 7 and 10 next. Everything since 10 has gone downhill (not counting MMOs). I don't hold much hope for FFXVI, though it is very pretty.

CrimsonWing69464d ago

Yea i'm with ya, there. Don't get me wrong, I think 7 Remake really restored my faith in Square Enix, but I miss the good ol' turn-based stuff.

RavenWolfx464d ago

@CrimsonWing69 Ah, FF7 Remake completely slipped my mind! I enjoyed that one, though I haven't touched Intergrade yet.

glennhkboy463d ago

The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.
