Why exactly does this deserve a thread? They do this in every issue

 

[Squire]

FFVII Remake, Monster Hunter World and Trails of Cold Steel III I can totally get behind.

Surprised to see Assassins Creed Origins on there.....

I'm not that surprised. It's an action RPG now and I bet it has a certain niche appeal that stuff like Witcher 3 and Skyrim did when they released over there.

 

[Mediking]

I have absolutely no faith in this FFVII remake. It's going to be balls, isn't it?

Actually... FF7R is pretty much destined to be good.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I love how many people are baffled at Final Fantasy being popular in Japan.

 

[Opa-Pa]

I love how many people are baffled at Final Fantasy being popular in Japan.

I'm more baffled that poor Japan expects it to be good or to release soon enough to guarantee being excited for it. But yeah, really not surprising at all.

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

PSP is kicking ass!

 

[NSESN]

Odyssey being that high is surprising. I would thought that Famitsu readers are more the RPG type of people.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I guess Japan hasnt followed this charade where Final Fantasy is dead and all their games have been bad for 20 years, weird.

 

[dan2026]

FF7 remake and RE2 remake are racing each other to the vapourware throne.

 

[KiNolin]

I'm saying Mother 3 wasn't the 2nd best selling game of any year

I don't think anyone expects these kind of surveys to literally be the upcoming sales ranking, including people who believe that there's a correlation between the survey and potential success...

16. [NSW] Dragon Quest XI – 179 votes

i have really great news for these 179 people, if anyone knows how to get in touch

 

[ArjanN]

Its not even officially announced. I bet half of gaf doesn't even know it exists.

Yes it was. They just haven't shown anythng yet.

 

[Piers]

If it's specifically Famitsu readers then it makes sense because Metroid being that high up doesn't sound right given how low the popularity for the series supposedly is there.

 

[Hazu]

No Pokemon or SMT for Switch?

 

[kromeo]

The last 10 years of FF should be a decent clue what to expect



Romancing Saga 3 above Xenoblade 2 is an interesting one..

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

Odyssey's my most anticipated, so I quite like it's position here.

 

[Toxi]

All 299 Metroid fans in Japan are excited about Samus Returns.

 

[AmayaPapaya]

How did Metroid crack?? Also, surprised by The Evil Within being there.

It's Famitsu. It doesn't represent the general audience.

 

[icam_17]

It took me way too long to realize that NSW stood for Nintendo Switch...

 

[Pieman0920]

Really interested in City Shrouded in Shadows, so it's good to see it there.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

A Metroid game in a Top 10 Japanese list? But GAF told me Japan doesnt like Metroid!

Spoiler

please sell well!

They seem to be metroid deprived, like the rest of the world

 

[Skeeter49]

No Switch Pokemon

Spoiler

I know it's due to lack of anything being shown.

I mean based on sales, they clearly don't like it. If japanese metroid sales were even 50% better all time, we might have a lot more metroid games.

 

[2+2=5]

OMG Ushiro! That reopens a wound

Monster Hunter World 666 votes...

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

No The Last Remnant PS3? Fake list.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

23. [PS4] Death end re;Quest – 129 votes

Japan, we need to have a talk about these naming practices and soon.

 

[Strings]

... Why is Ushiro, a cancelled Level-5 game on the list? wtf

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Part of me thinks they'll drop the multiple games thing.

We can only dream.

2 parts at best I suppose. I hope that's what they're doing now with the extended dev time.

 

[Various Artists]

Hmmm. In an alternet world where the title reads "PS SOFTWARE DOMINATES MOSTWANTED SOFTWARE IN JAPAN" I wonder how the thread unfolds.

 

[redcrayon]

Fire Emblem Warriors votes on Switch and 3DS combined puts it higher than Pokemon. That is likely to end up wildly out of sync with sales, isn't it?

 

[Tyaren]

I simply refuse to be hyped for FFVII Remake until a near release date is set, lol. I'm not doing another VersusXIII/XV hype marathon that left me exhausted by release.
Right now FFVII Remake might as well not exist for me.

Its easily my most anticipated game, but yeah, i try not to think about it since its years away.

17. [PSP] Ushiro – 175 votes

Me too, Japan.

 

[Neptonic]

WHERE MY ACE COMBAT BOIS AT

 

[Bladenic]

Wtf at Ushiro for the PSP lmao

 

[Tyaren]

By the way, no Shadow of the Colossus Remake on that list... :/

 

[dragonzdogma]

Happy to see tew2

 

[Astral Dog]

Surprised KHIII is so high in Japan. Also, LOL USHIRO STILL THERE. Can't wait for Last Remnant PS3 too!
.

Its popular in Japan

 

[cj_iwakura]

Japan knows what's up

I'm sad the utter butchering of the character designs isn't causing more of an uproar TBH.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Kinda shocked at how low FighterZ is.

I mean, it's a fighting game.

 

[papertoonz]

Surprised KHIII is so high in Japan. Also, LOL USHIRO STILL THERE. Can't wait for Last Remnant PS3 too!

Kingdom Hearts has alway been popular in japan and KH3 has been on this list for quite a awhile

not really a big deal

 

[ianpm31]

Kinda weird that Shenmue 3 isn't on the list. Its past games always make famitsus top all time lists so you would think a sequel would make it. Guess it won't be considered until gameplay and real promotion comes out kinda like re2

 

[Astral Dog]

almost 300 people are going to buy Metroid

 

[yuoke]

almost 300 people are going to buy Metroid

For japan that is a lot.
