I'd say even sooner than that. It should hit $30 new relatively shortly which means $20 used at a non-EB store. So that would mean I could get it for around $15 at which point it may be worth it for what seems to be considered a mediocre RPGSineSwiper wrote:My prediction: headed to the Walmart bargain bin in less than 6 months.
This one is quite below standard if the reviews are correct.Black Lotus wrote:I think Kali's the only one here who has played more than the demo.
The demo made me ill. The characters are disgusting to look at and listen to. Apply only if you're a Toriyama lover or a weeaboo, as it seems to be a very standard JRPG.
it's not even below standard. it's just a standard generic game. there is pretty much nothing new or exciting it's just extremely genericDutch wrote:This one is quite below standard if the reviews are correct.Black Lotus wrote:I think Kali's the only one here who has played more than the demo.

Enix games, although not many, are extremely well performers from a business point of view. It was a brilliant move IMOSineSwiper wrote:I'm under the impression that Square should fire everybody from the ENIX side and rename themselves to Squaresoft.
Hahahaha! I get this impression also. Poor old Square. They're definitely the bottom in that relationship.Kupek wrote:I'm under the impression that Enix is hitting Square like a pinata until FF remakes come out.
That was basically the point of it. It's been said that Mistwalker was funded to make Dragon Quest (Blue Dragon) and Final Fantasy (Lost Odyssey) ripoffs.SineSwiper wrote:I could easily say the same thing for Dragon Quest and its similar ilk. After all, we are talking about Blue Dragon, which might as well be some other DQ game.
I think Square would find that difficult considering Enix pretty much owns them.SineSwiper wrote:I'm under the impression that Square should fire everybody from the ENIX side and rename themselves to Squaresoft.
If a smaller company is dominant in the merger of a larger company that means it's a stronger company. Size don't equal strength.Don Wang wrote:Enix makes money from what... Dragon Quest? And what else? They have some manga stuff going that's like printing money, but it's not anywhere near a best seller. They have remakes on handhelds that's probably like printing money too, but then FF caught on to pretty quick.
If I recall Square put some absolutely stupid amount of money in their Hawaii studio that basically accomplished nothing. The fact they even have half of Enix's capitalization says a lot about how big they are.
Dutch wrote:Well, you can't really attribute any development to Enix, they are a publishing company. The companies who made Dragon Quest are mainly Chunsoft and Tri-Ace, and a number of other studios. Enix is primarilly not a videogame company. The breakdown of Enix's revenue is as follows;
Total: 163.4 billion yen (1.53 billion U.S. dollars)
Video games: 64.9 billion yen
Mobile content: 7.7 billion yen
Publication: 11.2 billion yen
Other/entertainment: 79.8 billion yen
