Agreed, but yet, Lunar Legend sold like crap in Japan as well (though likely not as bad as DS has), and did quite well over here. It's weird to think a Japanese RPG series' future hangs on by North American fans.
Personally, I see DS breaking 100k here, just due to the fact that I keep seeing so many fans planning to buy it just because they're starved for a DS RPG.

If the game had some damn advertising it would sell a lot better. The only way you're going to see it thrive is through word of mouth, because people aren't going to know about it unless they see some mention of it in a magazine, or through a friend.

Well I will agree with that opinion I found out about LL just 4 months agoIf the game had some damn advertising it would sell a lot better.

I would have bought it sooner if i had seen some advertisment or something.
I remember reading in Nintendo Power, in the issue they talk about Lunar Dragon Song, that they were considering continuing the series depending on how well the release of Dragon Song goes. I really hope that it goes well because even if they only release Lunar 3 on the Gamecube or it's succesor i will definately buy them to play the game.

Well, you have to realize that advertisements are extremely expensive (several thousand for just a small add in N.P. if I recall) I'm sure they don't expect the game to do well, so by not advertising, they are essentially trying to squeez the money out of the game without spending more than developement costs at what not. Besides, I don't recall any TV adds for any Lunar here in the US, but I recall TV adds in Japan.
Edit: I still say that if you tacked Final Fantasy in the game, it'll sell free hotcakes in a starving metropolis.

Lunar Legend was advertised in all the major magazines. I don't think it had an online ad campaign though.phyco126 wrote:Well, you have to realize that advertisements are extremely expensive (several thousand for just a small add in N.P. if I recall) I'm sure they don't expect the game to do well, so by not advertising, they are essentially trying to squeez the money out of the game without spending more than developement costs at what not.

Well, stranger things have happened.

Rich is right. Lunar Legend had advertising in at least three major magazines. It was in Nintendo Power and Play Magazine for at least one issue. Might have been in it for more than one. Lunar: Dragon Song is going to be in Nintendo Power and Pocket Games. I believe in the October/November or November/December issue(s). I can't remember which exactly though. And yes, LunarNET will be linked in the advertisement again. ^_^
