Popularity has nothing to do with this discussion. That was the point of my first paragraph two posts back.

We can determine which series is more popular according to your stated standard of "what leaps to mind for the most people". It's going to be WoW. WoW has been played by more people than most games can ever aspire to. 11 million was the active subscriptions at the time, not counting those that had been dropped in the previous four years. For the time period from 2004-2010, WoW has destroyed Final Fantasy and every other RPG that isn't Pokemon (and maybe also Pokemon).

The Final Fantasy series has sold dam near 100 million copies. You think less than 11 million people bought that many?

FF has been a commercial success since the 80s. I don't WoW will be overtaking that any time soon. It's been so massive for such a long period of time I doubt WoW is more popular.

The Pokemon series has sold dam near 200 million copies. You think less than 100 million people bought that many?
