How the sales factor into their next project is not something I would speculate hard about. If they try a different direction again, or return to their roots, well, I'll be there to try it out. Personally, Rewrite is so last season already for me...  Although Journey from the soundtrack (finally is in my office desktop's shuffle list, and so for me the game actually made a significant enough impact to treasure. (I won't think about the fact that it was a Maeda composition I finally picked out) |
Sales have a huge impact regarding what the company may do or not regarding the franchise or genre. Even though Key certainly has a solid fanbase, even they are affected by such factor.

On another note, Klash, I just noticed your avatar is now of that maid girl from Noble Works, I hate to say it, but she was the worst, in my opinion, of the five (or six, but obligatory extra H scene don't count)in terms of novelty of story. Wouldn't Akari have been better?

I personally don't care about the route of the character I appreciate when it is about an avatar/signature, especially that novelty of story is hardly the selling factor of NW which has a very poor drama for every heroines anyway. Your mileage vary anyway, but she was the character I appreciate the most. Pretty much the same way how I felt about Lucia in Rewrite.
