Wow 360 sure holds a lot of sway in Japan. One spot and it's #7. Wooo.

 @1: Yeah. 360 isn't that popular in Japan. Mostly because Microsoft isn't that great in Japan.

Good i hope it keeps going down the list and has horrible sells telling Square they should have stayed exclusive.

@ 2 That may be, but the US is also the same way with fps. Im getting tired of it.

@ 4 The anticipation has nothing to do with it being exclusive or not, although i do agree it should have stayed exclusive.

Japanese gamers are only as "one deminsional" for RPG's as US gamers are for hardcore spazz shooters.

On topic: Meh, change in mood I guess, maybe there was a new Dragon Quest advertisement that got everyone excited. When dragon quest is on top 15 months straight, THEN we'll talk.

 eh ff13 wasnt on my big hit list. For me its versus. Versus looks so much better. They have advent children and kingdom hearts ppl working on versus. That... is a KO team for me.

@ Girgamesh

 

As an American gamer,I am not one dimensional as I prefer RPGs over shooters,but both are  dry right now and boring.Aside from KZ2 and WKC I am not interested in either genre at the moment.

Yeah right,the only way FF will ever be exclusive again,is if it bombs on the 360.Otherwise the next one might as well be exclusive to 360,like Star Ocean.I am really surprized that a weak handheld game has taken hold of the most anticipated spot though.one man's trash is another man's treasure i guess.

@2 100% right ... its really rear to see japanese playing other than RPGs

and @5  yah ... its matter if FFXIII stays exclusive,,,,becaue the only pepole in the world whos not gonna play FFXIII are the Japanese X360 owners

seeing as how dragon quest has always been more popular than final fantasy in japan,its no surprise,but as long as konami gives us suikoden 6 ill be happy

 @5 I guess so..   were you kidding with that? everyone that has a 360 maybe.  Most Ps3 fans actually want a storyline to a game.

As for this..I don't think a DS game deserves the top of the charts even if it is Dragon Quest !! (Don't get me wrong, I'll be getting it..but it isn't really on my radar !!)

Do u REALLY care about  the most anticipated title in Japan?!?!?!? jeez!!! I know that when ff13 comes out i'll get it... it doesn't matter what japanese want (no offence).....

@24

you're silly man! I buy games only for my enjoyment not for public eyes or to support a gaming company. what difference does it make that' it's on 3shixty as well? the important thing is that' it's on the PS3, don't be stupid.......

@14

I wasn't saying that if you're from the US you HAVE to be like that, I'm just saying that a lot are.

Anyways, as for the whole FFXIII thing - SERIOUSLY, no it's not the same now that the game is multi platform, STOP CONVINCING YOURSELF THAT IT IS. We're getting a delayed, compromised version of FFXIII.

It's still one of my most anticipated games this gen, it's still going to be unbelievably awesome, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME SO STOP CONVINCING YOURSELF THAT IT IS.

@2 i agree

thats not true @5 fps are the most hyped up gaames here such as halo which in my book is the most overrated game of all time. @4 SQUARE WILL GET THEIRS OH THEY WILL GET THEIRS. thats not true people who think americans are one dimmensinal because most americans prefer a shooter over an rpg dosebt mean there on dimmesional. im an american and i like all types of generes but i like shooters over rpgs beacuse it seems like there are more quality shooters than they are rpgs. For the last time peole who think that peole who are not buying ff13 are dumb your crazy. you dont get it. From my multiple sources i heard that ff 13 had a quarter 4 relase date in 08 and ff 13 versus quarter 2 relase dtae in 09. now those release date are gone. i got a f'in problem. Thats why i aint buying it i dont care how great the game is gonna be. I GURANTEE 1000% THAT THE GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER AS A PS3 EXCLUSIVE. IF THEY USE THE PS3'S FULL POTENTIAL THEY CAN NOT MAKE A GAME UNLESS IT IS TEN DISK FOR THE 360 IT AINT POWERFUL ENOUGH. NOW THAT THE GAME COULD HAVE BEEN 200 TIMES BETTER IF IT WAS AN EXCLUSIVE. NOW IS GONE SO THINK ABOUT THAT

funny list, its a trip how were different from the japanese gaming wise.btw,  you guys are funny.  Biohazard had a great story. FFXII was awesome, running and fighting  good stuff. Turn based is cool and all and I like FFtactics alot but its all about being in the zone, what about dead space the menu comes up and your still live in the game.
