Famitsu recently conducted a poll to see the most wanted games in Japan, and surprising no one ever, both FF 15 and KH 3 ranked highly.
I’ll show you the full list in a moment, but it’s interesting to know that not only was Final Fantasy 15 at the top, the version listed was the one confirmed for the Playstation 4. What’s even more interesting, though, is that not a single Xbox One or Xbox 360 title made it onto the list.
Given the original Xbox’s lacklustre reception in Japan, I don’t think this should come as a surprise. I think Microsoft should absolutely put the work in to improve their image over there, but given their success elsewhere, I don’t know how highly it would rank in their priorities.
Kingdom Hearts 3 (the PS4 version, of course) ranks at a respectable #5, surprisingly beat out by Persona and Samurai Warriors 4.
You can see the full list below. Thanks, Magic Box.
