I love having these debates but I'm going to ignore the Persona and Pokemon thing for another thread. I am surprised that we don't know what qualifies as a triple AAA and how many people are butthurt that your favorite series is not considered AAA, because in reality, it means nothing! just a way to define how much money is going into a particular IP that's all!. Got to go to work definitely will get back to this.

I've been coming here for years and finally now made an account for this thread. I feel like your measuring success like some sort of shareholder. if budget and marketing are that important to you that's fine, but have you played P5? "AAA" or not, atlus shipped a completed product that was crazy good. square did not. I don't use money to gauge a games value, I use fun as a personal meter stick. It's crazy to think i enjoyed FF games more when they were churning em out like theres no tomorrow

Guys! I am not going to keep repeating myself!!!!

"AAA" "B" "C" HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF THE GAME!!!!! It is totally possible for  B or C class game to be better than AAA games. 

I am not saying that Pokemon or Persona are lesser games compared to anything qualified as "AAA".  It simply means that the budget dedicated to triple AAA games and the intended target audience is much much much larger than B or C class games. Pokemon is the anomaly is this case as it in has become more than just a game series, It reach is power global, but the budget allotted to these games are like 20mill or less. The latest game used 3DS assets for crying out loud. FINAL FANTASY IS A GLOBAL BRAND meant to appeal to masses so it must make changes to remain competitive. PERSONA and OCTO can do as they please, because they are aimed at a specific crowd. They don't need to cater to trends.
