I have played it - you should enjoy it- it is different to some of the RPG's and a bit sad

I love a good story, and I especially enjoy sad stories. It looks very interesting.

As for guessing (We are guessing the order, right?):
MM4
MM3
Sylia
LFIII
Asguaard

I'll stick with my previous guess:
1. MM4
2. Sylia
3. LF3
4. MM3
5. Asguaard

Well, it's true that it's hard not to be influenced by reviews at all, but I simply thought that To The Moon was different enough to be interesting - I mean, a game similar to let's say MM may be nice, but I will choose MM anyway.

Indeed, some similarities occurred to me, too. I would say that your games are generally more like thrillers and WoaR/SLD are kinda like horrors, though.

Laxius Force and Dreamscape fall in that categorie (thriller) I guess.

I think members of Aldorlea just like gameplay a lot, and games that do well in this area will do better here.

I agree with Tomas. I think this will be the final outcome.

Any reason, or maybe this seems obvious to you given how those games usually perform?

Ok, I'll try to explain. It's based on this chart of global sales:

1. Millennium 4
2. Sylia
3. Millennium 3
4. Laxius Force III
5. Asguaard
6. Millennium
7. Laxius Force II
8. 3 Stars of Destiny
9. Laxius Force
10. Dreamscape

1st place - MM4 has been Aldorlea exclusive title in 2011 (at least as far as I know), i.e. best global sales equal to best sales on Aldorlea, that's for sure.

2nd - Sylia is 2011 release, caused lot of "buzz" at forum, my guess is that sales outside of Aldorlea might have been hurt because of harsh review at RPGFan, so the second place is safe bet.

3rd place - MM3 is third in the global chart, but it was released in 2010, which means that lots of sales here at Aldorlea happened in 2010. On the other hand, it probably came to various portals in 2011, so my guess is that big part of MM3 sales was from other sites.
Now there were the discounts for LF3 and Asguaard, they must have boosted the sales. Plus, I believe that LF serie is not that much promoted on other sites, Asguaard on the other hand resembles MM, so I would expect Asguaard to score better in this - which (combined with LF3 being ahead of Asguaard in global sales) means that LF3 sold more here at Aldorlea than Asguaard and I also believe that it sold even more than MM3 (discount is a discount...)

As for the 4th place, I still think that MM3 sold better than Asguaard. I'm pretty curious about the real rankings, though.

Interesting and in-depth, thanks!

I was selfish enough to simply rank them according to my preferences. +::biggrin

by **Indinera** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 3:43 pm

there is nothing wrong in that ^^

WHAT?!?! YOU DON'T LIKE THE MM SERIES BEST?!?
+::biggrin

lol jk

I just threw them in a random-ish order. +::biggrin

I beg your pardon Kylie. I confess myself guilty for not liking the MM series best. My all time favorite are the Laxius games and LFIII is just awesome.
And Sylia is such a cute game with real great features like recruiting enemies. That's unique! +::YAY
