Sol Trigger: Imageepoch's Grand Finale on PSP

[stealth20k]

How come VNs aren't Chunsoft bread and butter? They're almost the kings of VN.

Ehhh, I thought that was 5pb.

And believe me 5pb are fighting a war too

Not there yet, because their main force isn't from 5pb itself, but Nitroplus.

still waiting on 7th Dragon 3, 4, and 5.


God knows when this will happen since Yuzo Koshiro is busy with Etrian Odyssey IV right now :V

who knows? could be in dev

[ZetaBladeX13]

They said they will be.... eventually.

i hope they go back to the old style

Nowadays, they're mostly known for their new stuff, specially 428. You just can't argue, it's VN, it's their bread and butter.

From what I know they are most well known for shiren. Which they made 4 brand new shiren games this gen

And lets not forget who made the pokemon mystery dungeons. Main stream. Thats what they are known for.

The sequel to 999 between both versions sold lets say conservatively 20k


Shiren 5 sold around 50k on a single system

Well, they said that it sold amazingly well. So, regardless of what the numbers are, it was a big success.

Imageepoch has stated that there will be 5 games in the series, with one gaiden/spinoff title. So far, they've made 7th Dragon, with 7th Dragon 2020 as the one gaiden title. So it's safe to assume that the rest will be more like the first 7th Dragon.


also, sales figures:
7th Dragon [DS]: 140,000
7th Dragon 2020 [PSP]: 182,000

2020 has only been out for a couple of months, and it's already surpassed the first title in terms of sales.

2020 has only been out for a couple of months, and it's already surpassed the first title in terms of sales.

Could be for any number of reasons:

A) PSP has a bigger userbase than the DS
B) They liked the modern Tokyo setting
C) 2020 had better story and/or gameplay
D) 2020 is being bought by people familiar with the series + people new to the series

[stealth20k]

A) LOL
B) Theyve only used that once really
C) I disagree
D) That wouldnt matter much

D) That wouldnt matter much

...so you're arguing that the PSP sold more only due to magic then? *is confused*

A) lolwut. No. It doesn't. (PSP: 18.1 mil vs DS: 32.9 mil)
B) So did the first game.
C) Story was weaker, Gameplay remained unchanged.
D) Obviously. How else would a sequel be selling better than the first title?

[vampko]

I'd venture to say Miku was a large propenent of the boost in sales

[ZetaBladeX13]

Now that's something I'll admit to
