According to my saves I've clocked just over 98 hours in the game and enjoyed a large portion of those hours. I even did this on the Xbox One (please don't hurt me or blame me for randomizing SE) 
It was a good experience that I'm glad I was able to play through. Here to hoping SE and co. continue being successful while we wait for XV and Deus Ex!

What remaster? Borderlands? That's two games in one it seems, never heard of it before this. I'm not sure it counts as a remaster though. Unless you're referring to something else, but I don't know what else on here could be considered a remaster.
It's not really surprising though, $60 for Type-0 HD isn't worth it... only with the demo, and even then it's kind of pushing it... Seems like it did pretty well though relatively speaking.

What? How so? Type-0 is a quick and dirty HD re-release of a PSP that didn't get much attention outside of the core Final Fantasy fanbase. It wasn't supposed to top charts, the game isn't that great to begin with. What were you expecting, for it to be #1? It's a surprise it even placed at #10. FPS games appeals to a wider audience than Final Fantasy in the west... that's just a given. If you were surprised at all by this I don't even know what to say.

I'm not surprised, but it's funny how your attitude to these low sales is passive. It wasn't a "quick and dirty" remaster, as Hexadrive spent over a year developing it and even used their new internal engine, which is powered DirectX 11, to make new character models and textures for the environments. Takeharu Ishimoto remastered his OST, making every track sound different and more high quality than it did before, even making a new theme song in the process. Visual Works created a new secret ending, that obviously had a budget on par with the recent Deus Ex: Man Divided trailer. That's just speaking about Type-0 HD. Add in the fact it came with FFXV: Episode Duscae, a 4 hour demo of the next mainline FF, and all the hype surrounding it, and you can see these sales are disappointing.
Furthermore, this is a FF game that was never released in the West that came with a demo of the next mainline FF. Yet, it was outsold by a HD Remaster of two FPS games that were already released in the territory and don't even include a demo for a future game in their series. The writing is on the wall. The FF brand isn't as strong as it used to be. Will be interesting to see how badly FFXV performs in sales compared to the first FFXIII.

Taking a year to port a PSP game doesn't not make it a quick and dirty port.
The sales are NOT disappointing, I'm completely shitting on the game at this point, I have it right here next to me, I'm not just parroting other people here. The camera is fucking God awful, they didn't even bother to fix it, the graphics are terrible, the story itself is bleak and has terrible character development. The game allows you to miss out on sub-quests easily because it's so confusing as to what's going on. It also limits your time, that aspect of game design was in purely to give a sense of urgency and to promote replayability for a portable title that couldn't fit much onto a UMD.
You wonder why I have this attitude for the sales, it's because I think the game in many ways is shit. It's a mediocre/sub-par game that somehow got its way up to #10 on this list... again... not disappointing.
- Only the main characters and some of the important characters are made into HD, everything else is completely static and ugly
- Using an internal engine simply means they didn't have to design one for the game which makes things go faster
- DX11 means nothing when the game doesn't take advantage of any of the features outside of maybe reflections which isn't DX11 specific even. Virtually none of the graphics were enhanced apart from anything that was redone like the character models.
- The Audio and Visual Works stuff is about the only positive thing you can really say about it, and those were done by people outside of the development team.

Stop! Just stop, I still have an unopened collector's copy I need to sell and the value of it drops from every word you typed!

Hahaha, sorry about that! I enjoy the game, I just feel there's a lot of problems with it. To me, I generally can see past a lot of bad parts of something and get to the good. For me, I enjoy the battle system a lot, and poor story telling isn't an issue for me unless it's really bad.
Yeah, I mean, I don't really consider the sales to be amazing, but for what it is I do think they're acceptable. I'm interested to see how their sales will go after they slash the price on the game.
