Why does Final Fantasy Agito XIII Rename as Final Fantasy Reishiki (Type-0)? Rename of Versus XIII and FF15 Coming Soon!?

Why does Final Fantasy Agito XIII Rename as Final Fantasy Reishiki (Type-0)? Rename of Versus XIII and FF15 Coming Soon!?
Final Fantasy Agito XIII has been renamed as Final Fantasy Reishiki (Type-0).
Launch in Summer 2011 on PSP.
Why does the title change?
They are afraid of the poor review of FINAL FANTASY XIII.
Why connect to FF13...
People don't like FF13, if Agito has a name with XIII, people may avoid this game. So they just pretend this Type-0 has nothing to do with XIII.
How is the review of FINAL FANTASY Type-0 recently?
Ultimately speaking, this game is responsible to obtain users from Monster Hunter Portable series, which already exceed FINAL FANTASY series.
Huh.
Although FINAL FANTASY is much better than MHP series overseas, PSP is not doing good outside Japan, so Type-0 is a game designed for Japanese gamers.
Really?
This game originally designed for Japan's cellphone, so it must be Japanese-oriented. They just want to sell some overseas.
But PSP is not a good choice overseas.
Maybe they would make a smartphone version or 3DS version later. Smartphone is quite possible.
Then why don't Versus XIII rename its title?
It may rename later.
What!?
That's possible.
Well...
We don't know the actual review of FF13, maybe just the Internet spreading negative image, gamers may have different thought. Therefore, as mentioned in "FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 Announced. It's a Failure if Cannot Hit 2.7 Million Worldwide", the sales of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 should be a sign for them to decide if they should rename Versus XIII or not.
If FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 sales good, which means 13 is successful and no need to change the title huh.
Yep.
What if XIII was a failure?
It may become FINAL FANTASY XV then.
FINAL FANTASY 15!?
Versus XIII is quite possible to launch after 2012, that would be 3 years later then XIII, which launched in 2009. If that so, Versus should be considered as a main sequel. If they don't do that who knows when would we get a FF15.
It is less than a year since the launch of FF14...
That's Black History.
Oh...
Anyway, let's check the future of Versus XIII and the series.

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 Announced. It's a Failure if Cannot Hit 2.7 Million Worldwide

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 Announced. It's a Failure if Cannot Hit 2.7 Million Worldwide
FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 has been announced.
Scheduled for 2011 on PS3 and Xbox 360.
When would it launch?
The end of 2011 I suppose.
How about this FF13-2?
That's fine?
Be serious please...
Nowadays, when you develop a game you won't end up with only 1 issue, but use the same program to create sequel so as to earn money and recover the cost. FF13 used too much money so there should be a 2.
Huh.
There is 1 thing certain though.
And that is?
It's a failure if it can't hit 2.7 million worldwide.
Oh...
What is your reason?
FINAL FANTASY X is an example.
We've got a X-2 huh.
FF10's worldwide sales was 8 million and 10-2 was 3.6 million, 45% of 10. FF13's worldwide sales was 6 million, 45% is 2.7 million and that should be the target.
I see.
But this figure is not fair.
Why?
Consider Japan only, 10 sold 2.35 million and 10-2 sold 2 million, that's 85%. So in Japan, FF13 sold 1.9 million and 13-2's target should be 1.6 million in Japan.
Quite a difference huh.
Well, the gameplay of 10-2 is special, so it may not be suitable to compare them. Anyway, if 13-2 do better, this means 13 is accepted by gamers. If not, 13 itself is a failure. Or that would be a result of the failure of FF14, the collapse of FINAL FANTASY brand, and people hate SQUARE ENIX itself.
How would be the result?
Who knows.
