Actually... In a recent event he didn't have that mask on. Apparently someone misplaced it or lost it so he did the event with I think it was a creepy looking leprechaun head on lol.

FF16 sold extremely well first week. Something to be expected as the first next gen FF mainline title and all the media hype. Sales basically tanked the week afterwards. Essentially to me this indicates a few things. Trends with AAA title releases in general has resulted in the majority of gamers no longer preordering titles and also no longer paying actual attention to reviews from published "games experts". They're waiting for the titles to get in the hands of actual gamers to see how the game actually is and then deciding if they want to play it or not. In the case of FFXVI you had people that still did decide to purchase it but at the same time a substantial amount of people that chose to skip it because it wasn't the next gen FF title they were waiting for. It wasn't a JRPG, hell it wasn't even an RPG. It was a carbon copied action game attempting to write itself as western fantasy with a FF wrapper on it. Hardly anything FF was kept aside from impressive visuals and music. Final Fantasy as a series is fairly well known with changes/innovations with in game battle systems and it has had it's fair share of hits and misses. However in 16's case it wasn't a matter of innovating and more a matter of just grabbing and using what an entirely different game had. Something that was somewhat familiar with this title as well as the ARR reboot was essentially trying to turn FFXIV into WoW without it looking like WoW. And to many FF16 has simply indicated that SE is willing to throw aside a longtime loyal fanbase of customers in order to chase after the possibility of a quicker buck.
