Final Fantasy XII was released before it would have been accepted by the FF fanbase.

Mistakes were made on the part of Square Enix. Do I think the game could have sold 10 mil copies and revolutionalised JRPGs...

If the year is 2007 when FF12 came out, the answer is no.

If the year is 2013 two years after Skyrim sold 11 mil copies (which I still can't believe), and if, only if the game was made with Yasumi Matsuno and his team with full control on the project, the answer is yes.

Why's that so hard to believe? They're different genres and people play them for different reasons.

Well I can't believe any RPG is that popular. FPS I can understand why so many people play that genre.

But WRPGS, or JRPGs are not casual games. They take a lot of time and commitment to play, I'm supprised Skyrim was that popular. I suppose however a lot of the sales were on PC, where Final Fantasy does not have a strong following compared to WRPGs, which have (as I understand) a large PC market.

It's also open world which has a huge following, especially given the freedom it offers.

But yes, PC is the best place to play it due to the mods.
