I don't think that KH has a bigger fanbase than any individual Final Fantasy game. FF7 for instance has a huge fanbase, it sold almost twice the copies of KH1, which is the best selling Kingdom Hearts game. Final Fantasy sales do vary, but so far most of them have outsold KH1. Even 13, which many consider to be the worst Final Fantasy, outsold KH1. Final Fantasy has lost fans in recent years, but that's due to diminishing quality over the course of the last few games. If anybody can make a quality Final Fantasy release again, it's Tetsuya Nomura, if it gets good reviews most of those lost fans will come back. Not really a fair comparison, KH 3 was a new announcement, whereas XV was announced back in 2006 as Versus 13, many people skipped watching XV's trailer simply because they assumed it was more of the same footage they'd already seen in previous Versus 13 trailers. |
Don't know what happened withn my other post but it didn't work for some reason.
As popular as the FFVII series I doubt it's bigger than the entire Kingdom Hearts fanbase.
A huge chunk of Final Fantasy's sales back on PS1-PS2 were from Japan were games would sell 2-3 million copies back then. If the PS4 doesn't take off in Japan like the PS3 didn't then FF15 may not even sell 2 million copies there. Meanwhile America's game sales ares still strong and there Kingdom Hearts is the more popular series now it seems.
And it's not just FF13's fault for what's happened to the franchise. FF11 was an online game, people didn't care for it, FF12 was a huge step backwards from FF10, FF14 is another online game. There hasn't been a game people have really liked since 2001.
And KH3 got more google interest than Final Fantasy Vs XIII too.
