Awesome, now they will give Eidos enough money to make the next Deus Ex without any of the terrible time constraints that kept the game from being perfect, and maybe even Just Cause 3

Whoa whoa whoa back up.

Square may overdo it on the remakes, but both DS FF remakes were how you do a remake right.

And TWEWY is, of course, the best Square game of the last decade.

Square need to do more stuff like that, and give up on making new Final Fantasy games. Throw in more Deus Ex, more Dragon Quest, and I think Square will be alright.

What is wrong with you

TWEWY best handheld RPG ever

FFIV DS best remake ever

There you go.

I'm not even a Square fan, they do a lot of things to annoy me and Final Fantasy is pretty much dead. But those two games, those are awesome. Deus Ex was great. Batman was great. I see good things in Square's future.

FFVI with those things would BOMB. There are a lot , A LOT of things in FFVI that people who hate the modern FFs would HATE if in 3D and voice acted.

Setzer would be pretty much a typical rail thin bishou, Locke would probably be thin as well and only spared a Sqaircut because of his bandana. Since there are so few females, either Terra or Celes is probably getting the Rikku treatment. Edgar would have a grade A cheesy Voice actor.

And really things get much worse when you consider things like Mog and Gau. I think it would be fine but that HUGE segment of the fanbase that likes ff6 because it somehow isn't like the modern FFs in terms of character design and story would be SHOCKED at just how modern FF6 was, but the sprites and no voice-acting covered it.

I don't think any NA sales are out for it yet, but it sold a lot less than FFXIII in Japan. I think XIII-2 around 770,000~ sold on the PS3 there right now. For a comparison FFXIII sold 1,501,964 copies on the PS3 in Japan in 1 week.

Setzer wasn't all that skinny in Kingdom Hearts 2, so I don't see why that would change.

Also I don't see why they would actually change any character's personality, either. It's not like they turned Rosa into a Rikku clone in the FFIV remake, so why would they change Terra or Celes? And if anything, Relm would be the Rikku. Ew.

Why would anyone sane expect FF13-2 sales to approach FF13's? FF spinoffs have never approached their original games, the only one that's even within half of the original is FFX-2 and that was literally the first, before we learned to expect a quality dropoff from such titles!

A better comparison for FF13-2 are games like Revenant Wings and Crisis Core, both of which it outsold. And especially compared to what I assume is a relatively low budget, I would assume FF13-2 raked in some pretty nice profits.

Could be wrong, though, I haven't actually seen any estimates for 13-2's budget.

FFXIII-2's best comparison is FFX-2, not a very low budget DS game that isn't even a RPG or a PSP prequel ten years after the original. In any case, CC outsold XIII-2's total so far.

... no

A perfect comparison to 13-2 is.... you know, 10-2. Not incredibly different, portable spin-offs.

first-week comparisons:

FF10: 1,749,737
FF10-2: 1,472,914

FF13: 1,516,532
FF13-2: 524,217

I wasn't expecting it to sell as well as FFXIII. It's still doing very well for a sequel to a game that received a lot of harsh criticism. The comparison was mostly out of interest to see about how many people who bought FFXIII in Japan bought the sequel.

Admittedly, thanks to Amanos artwork, the ENTIRE CAST would be bishous if ported over directly. The big reason why is that, he needs to be attractive to really make that celes scene uncomfortable. The other thing is with women voice actors, you arent gonna see both Terra and Celes get the quiet calm girl treatment. Terra makes way more sense, so expect some whiny highp itched voice for Celes.

That wouldn't fit Celes at all, though, so again, I don't see why they'd change her personality like that. Since when are "quiet calm girl" and "whiny high-pitched" the only voice choices?
