Also selling out physically over there but that's probably due to low print. Either way, buy this KOWASHITAI

Its physical copies sold count is kind of dismal, really, so hopefully this helps to balance things out for it.

oh jeez were they that conservative? why even port this then, for Western audiences?

great game, definitely worth playing and I'm happy more people have the chance now. I don't think I'm in the mood to replay it any time soon though.

I am enjoying it a lot so far.

The archaic save system mad me lost about 40 minutes of progress, so it will likely be a few weeks before I can bring myself to go back to it, but other than the MC being a nobody it's been pretty solid.

Japan probably had even less reason to buy this port than the original because they used the Western version for the Switch version. Even the originally sold pretty poorly if I recall so this isnt really surprising

Everyone inherently has more of a reason to buy this since it's on a real console that people own.

It's a game with strong ties to the Japanese idol industry and there's no English dub. That's a tough sell in the west.

Lower first week percentage sell through than DBZ and Yakuza. Definitely not selling out.

jRPGs on Switch do unusually well overseas. This is the exact market for a game like this.

Im really curious what made the original sell so poorly in Japan. I mean sure maybe the Wii U was part of it, but that country eats up idol stuff like its oxygen so it was surprising it sold so poorly there.

I'm sure it would've sold fine on the Vita. There just wasn't a market for it on the Wii U

It doesn't even look like idol stuff. It's a thin veneer at best. I wish they'd just make an outright idol game with FE.

Wake Up, Girls! is already an example of this. I feel bad for those girls.

Promoting a game as a crossover between two series and then releasing a game that barely has anything to do with either series probably didn't do them any favors. I wonder if it would've performed better if they had just marketed it as a brand new IP from the get-go.

Kind of funny going back to watch this after all these years because this absolutely looks like the trailer for some garbage tier gacha mobile game. But yeah, this definitely didn't do it any favors in terms of setting up people's expectations of what they'd be getting.

Yeah the initial teaser trailer might have just been concept art superimposed over music, but it still gave off an atmospheric vibe and the potential seemed great. Then the first real trailer dropped and my interest evaporated instantaneously. It's simply not what I wanted out of this crossover.
