FFXVI, Visions of Mana, and Romancing Saga 2's demos all appear to have played out like this (Peaked on day 1 irrespective of when it launched) I dunno, maybe demos (or just JRPG demos? I'm not really sure what to compare it to) just play out like this.I was looking at the CCU of the Metaphor demo and I was surprised by 2 things:
Peak CCU is around 14:00 UTC.
It peaked within 24h of launch on thursday, not on the weekend.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I would imagine the time of the peak CCU indicate a majority of the players coming from asia. I also suspect the peak being on D1 and not on the weekend means the demo was mostly tried by an already engaged audience.
And the Asia thing makes sense, no? There's not exactly a huge amount of Playstations in China - where else are they going to play that?
