Love Kingsglaive. I think at one point in the movie a knight of the Old Wall is holding onto the leg of a Diamond Weapon who is holding onto an airborne dreadnought. That's intense. I have a soft spot over-the-top action like that.

But it was nice to be able to select things without jumping around like an insane person

I assume they did it to mantain consistency with what buttons the west (X) and JP (O) use to "confirm" action, it just happen that the button the west use overlapped with the in-game jump function. XV has no re-mapping, just three preset control schemes.
Edit: button re-mapping is possible on the PC port.

But circle is attack, yes? So in the Japanese version you just attack while trying to select things instead of jumping?

Well then they should have switched attack and jump as well as select. Or not switch at all, but assuming they were going to switch, they should have switched both functions.

This news went unnoticed until I saw it in the wikipedia page, FFXV had sold 9.5M copies as of February 2021. The last known report (Dec 2019) previous to this one had it at 8.9M copies.

Short comparison with the rest of the franchise:
1. FFVII (with all its ports) - 12.3m
2. FFX - No exact numbers. We just know that it's the second best selling title in the series.
3. FFVIII - 9.6m
4. FFXV - 9.5m
5. FFXIII - 6.8m

FFXV's DLCs weren't cancelled because it lost money or was "bad."
Internal corporate politics and the future of Luminous Studios clearly was to blame. Don't know who Tabata fucked with or pissed off but he clearly got fucked over.

Long story short: I'M PLAYING FFXV AND I'M LOVING IT
I started the game back in August but didn't progress much further than the first two gas stations. The game seemed extremely unusual compared to the previous FF's, and something felt off about the pacing, and I was struggling with the combat (as usual hahaha)... so I decided to give it time and didn't come back until last month. And oh boy did I come back full speed.
In November, I loaded my save file, found myself in the middle of a battle with a bunch of goblins, realised I had forgotten how to fight and accidentally won just by hitting all the buttons on my controller. After that, I had to redo the tutorial, and finally set the wheels in motion quite literally to travel to Galdin Quay. And this is where the game completely came alive. I spent an insane amount of time there just walking, fishing, cooking, camping, hunting, collecting treasures and food supplies, feeding cats, admiring the landscapes and enjoying the tranquility of the place. I knew the story would take that away from me sooner or later, because it wouldn't be an FF game if it didn't, so I decided to be taking in the atmosphere as early as possible. It seemed a bit monotonous but it was strangely charming and heartwarming.
Yes, I remember writing in this very thread that I'd tried watching other people's playthroughs and found them tedious. But the key is NOT TO WATCH. The key is TO PLAY IT YOURSELF. Then and only then the game gets filled with details, hues, and coloring, like the sky of Eos. I didn't expect that despite starting slow the game would be so engaging. A lot of your impressions depend on the time of day, on the order of doing quests, on your stats, on your outfits... basically, everything! And as soon as you understand that you absolutely needn't hurry, the exploration gets more and more enjoyable. Now that the pandemic has taken so much of our freedom, this game found me at the right time when I needed it most, and it's giving me life.
Finishing chapter 8 at the moment, but I'd like to wrap some things up and write a bit more soon.
