The day when people in the West finally realize there are other jRPGs besides Final Fantasy that are higher quality is when the genre will turn a corner.

That day will never come.

Don't count on it.

You've confused me now xD

As FF was throned it can be dethroned. Halo was the king of FPS games for a while (I'm talking sales and popularity, much like FF is ), but CoD replaced it now, for example.

Nothing is really eternal is what I mean.

I think Final Fantasy will stick around for a long time, and when there finally is a FINAL Fantasy, I don't think anything will replace it in the West.

That isn't what I meant by my comment anyway, I was trying to say that Western audiences are not interested in JRPG's and the genre will never take off in those regions, Final Fantasy got lucky.
