3, ranking analysis
This week's daily AppStore revenue list can be said to be frequent, and six new works have been welcomed in just a few days. And two of these six new works seem to have the ability to "slaughter the list" for a long time in the future. So let’s take a look at what these six works are.
First of all, we have to mention the efficiency of SquareEnix (hereinafter referred to as SE). On the eve of this year's Tokyo Game Show, probably to make room for operation, SE closed several products with the "Final Fantasy" signature that had been in operation for less than a year. Later, three new "Final Fantasy" works on mobile platforms were announced at the Tokyo Game Show, including "Final Fantasy Zero ONLINE" in collaboration with Perfect World. The other two of these three games were released in one month at a lightning speed - they are "Final Fantasy BraveExvius" and "Final Fantasy Grandmasters" ranked 6th and 30th on the revenue list this week.
"Final Fantasy BraveExvius" and officially launched on the two major markets in Japan on October 22. If you open this game, you will definitely find that some core game parts and even the interface design of this game look so familiar. Because the person responsible for this work was Alim, who had developed "The Brave Front", it is not surprising why the work should be so similar to "The Brave Front". After the game was released on the AppStore, it was directly placed in the top 10 of the revenue list and reached the 6th place today. At the same time, due to the cooperation activities when this work was launched, the paid work "Final Fantasy VI" and another product of Alim, "The Brave Front", also rose all the way with its east wind. However, there are more than one such product this week.

is also from SE and is also known as the two Japanese RPG "Dragon Quest" has also launched a new work this week. Like the Final Fantasy BraveExvius we mentioned above, Dragon Quest of Stars also made a high-ranking airdrop. It rose to the top 10 in a few days, and this kind of money-making ability may only be achieved by such a brand. So far, "FF and DQ" occupied 6 seats in the top 100 Japanese revenue list today. Regarding this phenomenon, some people are also worried about whether SE is consuming excessive brand value. But judging from the current large amount of outsourcing business, joint issuance and operation methods, the appeal of these two brands is really strong enough.

In addition to these two games, the new products that were on the list this Sunday include KONAMI's "Primary Baseball Spirits A", Aiming's "Lost King Power" and the Japanese dubbing version of "Heartstone".
KONAMI, which claims to be fighting on the entire line of mobile game products, tasted the sweetness brought by "Live Power Baseball" and released another professional baseball product this week. Using the authorization from the Japanese Professional Baseball team to create two products with different styles, perhaps KONAMI believes that the sports game field is now the territory that it should strive for in the Japanese mobile game market.

Aiming's "Lost King" is an RPG product with a fantasy Japanese style supplemented by MMO elements. Several products from Tongshe have not been successful before, and the performance of the new work on the shelves this time can only be considered as sloppy. It seems that if the Japanese market has a cliché or duplicate product, the results will not be optimistic.

. Judging from the super big brand Blizzard's Japanese dubbing version that brought the Japanese dubbing version of "Heartstone" this time, the acceptance of "World of Warcraft" in Japan is indeed limited. This game, which has made full efforts to localize, has actually been released before this, but its revenue has not improved after a few weeks. Although the Japanese version this time has reached the top 100, the ranking is not too high. In the coming weeks, you can see if the actual game features and quality can open up this path to success in this market. ■
