I knew someone would say this eventually and I should have preempted it by saying ahead of time: the 16-bit ones were better. No one refers to the 8-bit era of FF as the Golden Era, but yet the 16-bit era commonly is.

But you'd think that if FFL sold well, they'd make it global. But they didn't make it global. Suggesting that it didn't sell well enough to justify it.
The error in that thinking is that what sells well in Japan will not sell well overseas. Hence the whole Project Rainfall hoopla going on (Nintendo of America feels that RPGs do not sell well enough in this territory to warrent localizing the three main Wii RPGs coming out over here). FFLegends probably did sell fairly decently (I have no numbers on it) and may at some point be ported to Wii ware or 3DS ware or something. It took quite a while for Sqeenix to port FF4:TAY from mobile to Wii ware, so FFLegends may still be ported yet, and may still be localized overseas. We'll have to see.
