Fine, you are entitled to your opinion, but have you not noticed that SE have released TLR, IU and SO4 recently, and they have all been met with average reviews (generally), and average sales (not helped by 360 exclusivity) so they are trying to do other things but failing
The big question is, will you see XIII as very good, I loved X, X-2 and XII (the only FF games that I have played), so I expect XIII to be good, and I don't mind being caught up in the hype, as I will still be hyped when I play it, and so still enjoy it even if it is average. Anyway, if they have changed the series in XIII for the better, surely you would want it to succeed? For all you know they have created another VI in XIII, so I don't think you should really want it to flop before we know how good it is |
And this is another reason I hate Final Fantasy: it makes other RPG's not sell. There are two parts to my master FFXIII bombing plan:
- Make FFXIII bomb to force SE to make good FF games again
- Make people realize there are other RPG's other than Final Fantasy.
Those games you listed weren't bad at all but they didn't sell well because they didn't have the Final Fantasy name attached to them. I'm sure if they made it something like Final Fantasy VII: Infinite Undiscovery (that's the US Lost Oddyssey right?) and threw in a random Sephiroth cameo or even a name drop then I'm sure it would have sold millions.

DQ and KH still sell. And Tales as well, though Tales is usually really huge if it's a Team Destiny game in Japan...
Also, if FF suddenly died off, one of two things would happen:
1. The RPG genre kinda...goes boom (in a bad way) in sales. There's a chance that all those people who simply buy FF just because it's FF wouldn't buy any RPGs still if FF dropped off. Basically "No FF no buy"
2. Everybody suddenly starts clamoring for the next big RPG and that series gets a lot of fanservice, etc. just like FF, thus making you make another "Why I want [X RPG] to bomb" thread years from now.
Of course, there's always a chance the RPGs fans split up greatly and discover new series and these series end up doing well but I'm not sure how likely that is.

Meh, still sequels, I would rather those people went out and bought something like Eternal Sonata (wonders how many people in this thread actually played that game or bought it).
And I'm aware Eternal Sonata has its fair share of flaws, but all games do.
