It's a pretty interesting list.

Ouch, 2.8 isn't even on there lol.

[Felixx 6,646]

Ouch, 2.8 isn't even on there lol.

Not really surprising actually. 2.8 is solely for KH fans, I doubt many non-fans are anticipating that game like KH3 for example. And even among the fans there are a lot who don't wanna buy it

[KairiKeybasH 851]

To be honest i´m quite surprised for Sun and Moon being on number 2. Really the Japanese really want that game Of course FFXV would be in 1st place.

 

Also i´m quite surprised they want the Vita version of World of Final Fantasy over the PS4 version.

Not really surprising, considering all of the political nonsense going on over in Japan.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

I'm mildly surprised that Final Fantasy XV is sitting with 2100 votes and Zelda: Breath of the Wild only has 500!  Normally Zelda has much more of a following than this.  Either there is some serious hype for Final Fantasy XV (which there is) or Zelda is not receiving the same love and desire that it used to, perhaps a combination of both.

[Anti-SOLDIER 68]

Surprised to see FFVII Remake is that high since it's not coming out that soon and hasn't gotten any news for a while now. Kinda cool how World of FF is just one vote ahead of the PS4 version.

[Clouded Sun 1,232]

FFXV stay blowing out the scene now that Persona is out. No contest.

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Oh, nice, Kingdom Hearts III is at number 8! Not bad!  

 

Just wait, though.  Once more info and new trailers pop up for the game, it'll move up the rankings! B)

 

And yeah, it's logical Final Fantasy XV has the number one spot! Square's really riding high on this game's success! Let's hope it has that much success, ya know?

[HeyMouseSayCheese 1,133]

WOW, Watch Dogs 2 even made the list? Western open world games usually don't attract much attention in Japan.

[Geralt 4,874]

I wouldn't of expected Watch Dogs 2 to be on there. Also I had no idea they were still making Gran Turismo games.

[Exiblade7 1,917]

Tales of berseria is surprisingly not on there 

[Sendou Aichi 2,356]

Tales of berseria is surprisingly not on there 

It is already out in Japan

[Exiblade7 1,917]

It is already out in Japan

Oh! Guess that explains why   it's not on the list

[Shulk 8,623]

It's a little surprising that Dragon Quest XI isn't even higher than it is, given how big it is in Japan. I'm guessing it mostly has to do with the fact that Enix has stayed quiet about it for a while now. Hopefully they can show it off a little more soon...

 

Pokemon, DQXI, and Breath of the Wild are all ones I'm looking forward to, so it's nice to see that those all ranked so high.

Well DQ has both the 3DS and the PS4 version high on the list.

The question is if most of the voters who voted for the 3DS version also voted for the PS4 version(Or if multiple choices were allowed).

[Tails 6,692]

Ouch, 2.8 isn't even on there lol.

Well yeah, I'm sure most Japanese find it to be just another port to get a quick buck (which it kind of is since we're getting an HD rerelease of a 3DS game, a 1 hour movie, and somewhat of a "demo" to KH3.

To be honest i´m quite surprised for Sun and Moon being on number 2. Really the Japanese really want that game Of course FFXV would be in 1st place.

 

Also i´m quite surprised they want the Vita version of World of Final Fantasy over the PS4 version.

Well that shouldn't be surprising at all since Pokemon is pretty big over there lol . And yeah, FF XV sure has gotten some hype over in Japan. I'm even hyped for it . As for WoFF, well the Vita is popular over there due to the fact that the Japanese prefer portability over home console gaming since they travel a lot. So...yeah lol.

I'm mildly surprised that Final Fantasy XV is sitting with 2100 votes and Zelda: Breath of the Wild only has 500!  Normally Zelda has much more of a following than this.  Either there is some serious hype for Final Fantasy XV (which there is) or Zelda is not receiving the same love and desire that it used to, perhaps a combination of both.

Well, considering that the Wii U is an utter failer and is not selling well despute having some amazing games. I'm honestly not thta surprised about it. Besides, the Zelda games always sell pretty decently over in Japn compared to NA and Europe. But I'm still hyped for Breath of the Wild though.

Yeah it really is. You'd think it would at least be at #3 at least. But, it's as you said. Enix has been all hush-hush about it lately.

You could say the exact same about KH3
