Yes, Final Fantasy is a casual JRPG, so it's bought by casuals. How else do you explain FF's sales in comparison with other JRPG series like Tales, Shin Megami Tensei etc.?

If the people who buy Final Fantasy were real JRPG fans, then other JRPGs should sell big as well. It's not happening though. The series is picked up by the uneducated masses who buy it because their friends buy it.

Wait a minute? casuals buy jrpgs? I thought for sure FPS's have been the genre oversaturating the market? Damn guess i've been wrong this whole time...

Indeed. It's not unheard of that casuals buy games from more than one genre at any given time. Also, nowadays no real JRPG fan buys Final Fantasy anymore, because the series has been watered down for casuals. No real gamer would associate themselves with Final Fantasy, because it has become such a shallow affair.


See my earlier post about the brand being damaged. Also, take not of the character in my avatar being from FFVIII. I'm sorry, but you are trying way too hard to insult me. *Hint* it's not working.
