Final Fantasy XIII series sold over 10 million games, do they deserve it?

No imo... I don't think FFXIII was the FF we all wanted to have in the 7th generation... Its Auto-Battle, mostly terrible characters (Looking at you Snow) as well as no real party system (in the sense where you can control more than one person during battle) and many other reasons, I don't think it deserves that many units at all...

Just out of curiosity, do you like Kingdom Hearts? It's a beloved series but does everyone know that you can only control one character in battle? It would be nice if you elaborate as to why the game is bad including how much of it you did play.

On topic, yeah it deserves the sales. FFXIII-2 wasn't as good and it sold lower which was deserved as well.

I'm not a fan of Kingdom Hearts, only finished the first game btw, but it's a series of action games.  Final Fantasy 13 wasn't.  Final Fantasy 13 is a game that wanted so hard to be an action game, which is why they made the gameplay like it was.  Lightning Returns is probably what they wanted to do, and what they should have did for the very first game.

Who gets to decide what FF13 is? Developers or fans? I think it's the former. They made a turn-based/action RPG hybrid and some like it. If being an ARPG is what gives devs the right to limit party member control then won't you say FF13 earned that right too? Afterall, it was trying to be an ARPG hybrid.
