Famitsu most wanted: FF13, DQ9, RE5, other acronyms; Square Enix dominates |
Ó
Famitsu has always provided a list of games to see what their readers in Japan are looking forward to. As far back as I can remember, Final Fantasy XIII and Dragon Quest IX have always been somewhere at the top of the most wanted list.
The current issue of Famitsu tells the same story, with both Square Enix RPG titles sitting on the first two spots, with Resident Evil 5 coming up at the third spot. Nothing out of the norm there. But what about other titles? Check out the roster to see what Japanese gamers are currently clamoring for:
- Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Square Enix)
- Dragon Quest IX (NDS, Square Enix)
- Biohazard 5 / Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Capcom)
- Dragon Quest VI (NDS, Square Enix)
- Super Robot Taisen Z (PS2, Namco Bandai)
- Monster Hunter 3 (Wii, Capcom)
- Chrono Trigger (NDS, Square Enix)
- The Last Remnant (PS3, Square Enix)
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3, Square Enix)
- Pokemon Platinum (NDS, Pokemon)
- Animal Forest (Wii, Nintendo)
- Dissidia Final Fantasy (PSP, Square Enix)
- Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, Capcom)
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope (X360, Square Enix)
- Tales of Hearts (NDS, Namco Bandai)
Forget trying to distinguish which platform Japanese gamers prefer. Maybe it'd be easier to got at it by developer. Based on this list, at least, it looks like Japan is gripped by Square Enix!

Someone got something wrong :/
Not a typo.
Remember: developer !+ publisher.
Capcom's doing the honors of publishing the game to the Japanese market. They've always been the ones releasing the GTA games in Japan.
Especially for games that get released internationally , some other publishers (in this case, Capcom) may buy the rights from the original publishers (Rockstar) to release the game (GTA4) in their region (Japan).
Take this, for example:

Well i understand the japanese perferr rpg,s and the like but with (no) gamplay or anything of the sort for ff13 i would have thought for the time being re5 would have been top
whats with japan and the lame, played out dragon quest games?
Epic fail.
