Bro, they're getting over 8m in revenue on 30k units alone. This will be profitable 1 week in Japan.

this game might be the most expensive game ever made. its been in development for literally over 10 years. and they arent going easy on marketing either. how much is this game realistically going to sell? 1 million in japan? 2 million? and in the west? Final Fantasy isnt no where near the brand it used to be, and i doubt this would be profitable selling 3-4 million.

It wasn't in full development all those years and it's going to sell more than 3-4 million units.

Assuming $100,000,000 in expenses, and 27$/copy:
3,703,704 to break even.  
I'd expect 5-6 million copies.  At the low end, that would be about $35,000,000 profit.

It is more about to revives the FF brand name than profit after FFXIII.

Ff12 didn't help much

It'll be more than 27 per copy. Collectors edition will male sure of it

As for development,  it's been pushed aside to focus on the ff13 Trilogy

Wut?

92 Final Fantasy XII for PlayStation 2 Reviews - Metacritic (the same score than FFVII.... both are the top rated main FF)

83 Final Fantasy XIII for PlayStation 3 Reviews - Metacritic (lowest rated main FF)

FFXIII was the first main FF to be trashed by critics and fans.

12 was the worst in the series before 13.

12 was the worst in the series before 13.

Maybe taste... a lot of fans rate it close to best together with 6 or 7... others says it is in the middle and some others it is the worst.

FFXIII everybody say it is the worst.

That is the difference.

I personally rank 12 just below 6... it is my second best FF play time.

I will play the demo right now... please be good... the last one was trash.

Need 10m to be successful

Need 10m to be successful

Ohhhhh this is SE or Kotaku.
I think with all the marketing it is the minimum.

And it is over any FF already sold in the main release.
