FFXIII may have been an incredible game, but it is targeted at too wide an audience, and it left many hardcore RPG fans feeling left out.

 

I think that it is way too early to call one of the biggest franchises in existence dead. FFXIII expanded the franchise, albeit at the cost of some existing fans. FFXIV sounds shit from reviews, but no-one ever likes the MMO FFs. FFXV will have a tough task to keep the new fans and apologise to those who didn't like XIII, but far from an impossible task


FFXIII didn't really expanded the franchise. It was released on two consoles. Multiplatform release is not considered expanding, but having a larger market increasing the chances of success of the game.

Expansion would mean that SquareEnix did the homework to answer two questions:

- Why there are gamers that have never played a FF game before

- Why are there fans feeling left out?

I don't think FF XIII and XIV have an answer of these questions, and I'm afraid XV will not either.
