>Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness also did pretty well at 113,022 units sold in its debut, putting it at #2, but the series seems to have lost a touch of its driving force. Its predecessor, Star Ocean: The Last Hope sold 166,027 copies in its first week on the Xbox 360 in Japan back in 2009.

How Star Ocean has fallen in Japan since even 2009.
JRPGs in general have lost some market appeal as hunting games have become the dominant genre in Japan, and it probably didn't help them when that global censorship news came out a week before release.

B-but it got censored! Doesn't that mean there would be an army of normies ready to buy it?
8th gen consoles are struggling in Japan and the PS3 version was delayed.
SO5 is better than The Last Hope, but don't expect it to be on the same scale as 3 or 4. There are some obvious budget issues here.

Yes. Short for warau

They also use the kanji for "grass" for "kek" because "www" looks like grass to them.
