You still haven't explained how it saved the genre... if it didn't impulsionate the genre in the platform it was released, it isn't the best seller, it didn't brought new IPs how exactly have it saved? |
Because since xenoblade came out, Japanese developers are putting more effort on their works and thats the reason we are getting so maany great jrpgs lately.
FFXV is obviosuly a XBC's rip off, MGS V open world design was inspired by XBC as well.
Even western developers are trying to emulate what XBC did.
The team behind Titanfall (game of the generation) said in an interview that the whole idea came from a gameplay footage they saw of XBC when human characters are fightning against mechs, they said "it was pretty cool, we should make a game based on that" and so they did.
COD developers drop out the realistic aspect of their games by adding mechs because XBC is just that good and they want to appeal to XBC audience
SO, imho saying that XBC saved the JRPG genre is falling short. This game saved the whole industry no doubt about it.
