Final Fantasy XIII is a MAJOR flop on the 360 - we need to talk about it

But I do think squares intention like you said to widen the fanbase and they failed. They might have gotten some 13 year old kids like FF8 got me, but no more than if it would have been a normal FF.

I'd say they narrowed the fanbase by alienating existing fans. Final Fantasy is an RPG. People who play Final Fantasy play it because they like RPGs. Making it less of an RPG was a terrible idea.
