Yeah I make my living doing that. One thing that most JRPGs fail at doing is doing proper text for a SDTV. They are all like we have HD so we have smaller fonts now and everything will still be readable. But then they don't check to see what it looks like on non-HD.I'm just hoping this game isn't a rushed attempt to gain some ground back from FFXIV completely bombing. Overall, Japanese companies are way behind the curve when it comes to next-gen gaming. They are spending all their time trying to learn how to do HD graphics and spend little to no time doing Quality Control. Unlike the US, they don't have dedicated QA departments... they just wing it with their programmers
I found FFXIII to be quite challenging. But I've seen it go both ways with people. Some people find it extremely easy and others extremely challenging. I died a lot and normal monsters can totally mess you up. And you don't really ever reach a point in the game where you can stomp everything without even trying. There are still monsters around once you're maxed out that you have to be playing with all of your attention or you'll be dead. Spamming attack won't work for FFXIII, it's the fastest way to get yourself killed.
FFXIII managed 6 million units in sales from what I read last. So it was certainly not by far a financial failure. It might not have been a fan success or a review success, though reviews remained pretty decent. But financially people bought it up. But it is certainly true that a fair number of fans felt a little burned by the game. So the numbers probably will take a hit. But FFXIII-2 will probably still manage a few million units, considering that FF fans will probably pay attention even if they are saying that they aren't going to buy. So if review and public opinion change, they'll probably jump on board.
