They say it has been selling well beyond their expectation

 

[Zeyphersan]

So I take it it's better than all the other Rune Factory games, then?

(I've never played one)

 

[Doczu]

Meanqhile in europe...

 

[Glass Rebel]

MAQL really dodged a bullet by cancelling the European release.

 

[Brazil]

This makes me happy as hell. Rune Factory is an amazing series, and I love the work XSEED does.

Sucks about Neverland Co., though :/
I wonder where the franchise will go next.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Bittersweet news. Love the game, love the series. WHY YOU HAD TO DIE, NEVERLAND? ;_;

I feel for the european fans.

 

[Mpl90]

IIRC, it was at around 47k till December in US. Now, it'll be at over 50k for sure. And this without including digital. It seems the game did great, considering its niche-status.

 

[Terra_Ex]

Europe has some pretty serious stock issues with this game too...

 

[Empty]

just jam that salt straight into the wound :/

 

[JLeack]

I really want to pkay this game!

 

[Kouriozan]

Phew, so it was worth it to cancel the EU release!
....
They must hate money x)

 

[Hero of Legend]

We've received quite a few inquiries asking about Rune Factory 4 since it's been difficult to find in stores in North America. Don't worry! It's just been selling well beyond our expectations, so we're working as quickly as possible to restock physical copies. We encourage you to periodically check back with retailers since they should be getting more in stock soon. Thanks for making Rune Factory 4 a major success, guys!

WOOT! Congrats XSEED!

 

[Akai]

This means Neverland is saved, right!?

...No?

Dammit...

 

[Einbroch]

So successful that they don't want to release it in Europe.

 

[Thoraxes]

Wooo!

Great news for a great game!

Hey, some traditions never die.

But awesome for Seed. The game is a blast.

WHEN'S TRAILS IN THE SKY BEING RELEASED ON PC, XSEED?

 

[adroit]

I got my copy from the 3DS eShop (no real account system, etc., etc., etc.). Glad to hear the game is doing well (relatively speaking). Should have sold millions of copies, though.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Congrats. Now use some of that money for European releases?

 

[dallow_bg]

Always good to read.

 

[zroid]

Very glad to hear it. I regretted not buying it last year, but I was running outta cash in a very costly holiday gaming season.

 

[GhostTrick]

Can't they just publish it on European eShop ? I mean come on, it's not like they have to change something, just put some files on a store.............

If some XSeed PR person see this message, I hope he could clarify about my question...

Swore I didn't see it in the front page. Oh well.

 

[Cheeky]

I would say it falls behind 3. but 4 appeals to more audiences due to being able to play as a boy or girl and having romancable options for both as well.

 

[Busaiku]

This game has done so well in both the US and Japan, but sadly Neverland's problems were external to it.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Congrats! I gotta catch up on my Rune Factory...skipping the first one and playing through Frontier now.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Hmm, maybe I should buy this game.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Didn't XSEED go under (bankrupt)? I hope not but if so man that sucks to see RF4 doing well and they're still gone...

Edit: Nevermind, looks like it was Neverland (the dev) which did.

Which SUCKS.

What aspects make it fall behind 3, in your opinion?

 

[SolidSnakex]

I believe you're thinking of Neverland, the developer of Rune Factory. They went bankrupt last year. XSEED is just fine.

You're thinking of Neverland, the developer.

xseed is just the publisher not creator of the game, and they haven't gone under they are actually very active and making huge steps towards getting more jrpgs on pc as well as bringing us tons of other niche games.

the company that made rune factory 4 has had problems though.

 

[Burning Justice]

No, it was the developer of RF4 (Neverland) that went under. XSEED is fine.

 

[Cheeky]

Mainly the cast, because the possible candidates are split across two genders its a bit more thinned out then RF3. And RF3 had a more charming cast in general.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

People asking for it in Europe from XSEED befuddle me.
I admit that I was immediately interested with the bankruptcy of Neverland though.

[Eusis]

So successful the developer imploded!

I really have to wonder how hard it is to get the game region switched on 3DS. Seems like it'd normally be simple enough but who knows this time around. Would've been nice to not have a damn region lock though.

You're thinking Neverland, who developed Rune Factory. XSEED's A-OK still.

 

[Zhengi]

I got my copy in October, so I'm all good

 

[Nintyb]

Do it. One of my favorites on the 3ds.

 

[GhostTrick]

EURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Basically this. Seriously, I'm tired of this. Atlus just proved they can publish in Europe on eShop. Yet, none of XSeed or Atlus is doing it. What's wrong with them ?

 

[Azure Phoenix]

People asking for it in Europe from XSEED befuddle me.

XSeed put out a number of Vita and PSP games out as digital only releases in Europe, I think people are wondering just why a similar arrangement can't be made here instead of it being outright cancelled.

 

[Acosta]

Great, yes, push that dagger and twist it a bit more.

 

[Cheeky]

Xseed has published in Europe though. That being said, it was on the Digitally on the Vita. Nintendo probably requires a European address to publish at all in the Europe.

Is unchained blades on the EU eShop?

 

[Glittering Crux]

Too bad the developers went bankrupt.

I haven't bought a copy yet but I want to before it gets too hard to find.

 

[foxuzamaki]

You know, I didnt know the game was out but this is good to hear.

 

[Paskil]

Dropped 100+ hours into this game and not done. Well deserved.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

YAS LORD

One of the MUST BUY franchises on Nintendo handhelds.

They don't require such a thing to publish in Europe.
And no, Unchained Blades isn't on the EU eShop.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Meanqhile in europe...

:'-(

 

[Matt Attack]

I'm glad to have bought a copy, XSEED deserves it.
