Going to be honest, in my opinion its pretty much a given that FF7 will out sell KH3 by millions of copies and then some. (Sorry!) However in my opinion if they we're to both release in the same year of 2017 (may not happen but possible given anniversaries) KH3 would need to release before FF7. Not because I'm a KH fan but because FF7 will always out sell it's competition with ease no matter what game it's up against. So if both games ended up releasing in 2017 then KH3 would need to release first to give it a chance of not hindering it's sales. If FF7 releases first and then KH3 a few months later, everyone will be too busy playing FF7 and KH3 won't sell as well as intended. In my honest opinion though (which I don't like the thought of) FF7 will release in 2017 and KH3 early 2018. I think the calendar behind young Eraqus in the E3 2015 trailer was intentional to match up to March 2018 as the games worldwide release date.

 

Another thing is.. we've barely had any information on FF7. We had those two trailers in 2015 and it wasn't at E3 this year because Nomura said he did'nt want to release info on the game until KH 2.8 releases.. and its like, what has that got to do with it? It seems strange but probable, given its anniversary, that FF7 will release in 2017 when KH3 was announced way before this remake. Like, we have to wait four years but then FF fans may only have to wait two years after the games announcement. Also we had to wait two years to get an official gameplay trailer where as FF7 got announced and then 6 months later they got a gameplay trailer. The development proccess and priority for KH doesn't exactly feel fair.

People need to calm down, and here's why:

1. Unless you own stock in Square or something, who cares about sales? All you can do is buy your one copy.

2. I think at most they would only need a few weeks apart to be okay. Obsessed fans would blow through FF7 so fast, and casual fans won't care to complete the game before KH3.

3. Yes, everyone knows what KH is. That doesn't mean it's popular, or that everyone plays the games, but I'm sure everyone knows about the game that has Square and Disney characters.

4. FF7 only has Square looking after it, but KH3 has both Square and Disney looking after it. Trust me, KH3 is going to be fine in the marketing department.

5. KH never makes a big splash in opening sales, but the series has proven to have strong legs. This means while the series never sells too much at any one time, it consistently sells a healthy amount for months, compared to other games that blow their stack in the first two weeks, and then barely make the top 40 list.

Actually sales figures are important to fans as well,if a game sells horribly,chances to get a sequel are not as big

That's fine. If a game sells bad, it SHOULD be changed. I don't care what KH3 goes up against, the sales should definitely determine whether a series continues or is altered. No big deal.

I have no words if you think that KH3 will outsell FF7 remake. KH3 won't even come close to the numbers of the remake.

Anyway, next year is the 20th anniversary of FF7 so the first part will be out late next year more than likely. I think next year is just promotion for KH3.

 

 

I'm more hyped for the remake than for KH3 anyway
