Interesting data but also I wonder what application does it actually serve in practice? Even despite FFXV's position there (where it's above FFIV, FFVI and would be above III and XVI), and it being THE bros on the road FF, it in actuality has the highest female playerbase out of any Final Fantasy

jrpg isn't a real genre. its a useful shorthand and comparative term (i.e. if you like tales games you'll probably like falcom games) but when more academically discussing things like whether the genre has "evolved" enough or not it becomes tautologically useless

I just skimmed this thread and of course it's started by Dreamboum, but also, why the fuck am I getting name dropped in this thread by some randos?
Anyway I'd argue that Yoshi-P's reign has decimated the FF audience more than FF7R has, but FF7R hogging up resources and butchering FF7 hasn't helped.

The overlong focus on FF7 has decimated the Final Fantasy audience

despite all the superficial suffering he goes through offscreen he never grows or changes and is never challenged in any meaningful way. he's just the Cool Guy Who Wins in every scene. light novel core. feels like an extreme overcorrection to the complaints that FF protagonists are too "emo"

here's where my final fantasy tier list stands going into ATB. lotta gut calls in here stuff could move around majorly. i wonder how much replaying them over the next few years among their rpg peers will change the list; i haven't played some in over a decade

Also, turn based vs real time fake war aside, funnily enough the director of Expedition 33 literally said FFXV was a huge influence on the game just two weeks ago

Xenoblade fans be normal challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Some rando emailed me with the subject "Tips for upcoming review!" and it is 1000 words telling me how to review Xenoblade X Remastered. I am very tempted to reply to this "You are not my editor. Go away."
Don't do this.
It isn't normal, cute, or appreciated.
