There's just something to be said when a game that has nowhere near the built in recognition and fanbase as FF, or the draw of an epic Disney jrpg like Kingdom Hearts gets praised both critically and commercially praised as one of the greatest jrpgs of all time. 

 

Sales wise sure, it doesn't rake in the #s of a FF, but it was also a limited release with 0 advertising from a company that produced only a handful of games. They're now regarded as one of the best development teams currently.

A lot was said here, but the fact remains that FFXV was super JRPG (Just look at that boy band lol!) and sold more than 5 times what XCX did. Likewise, FFXIII outsold XC by a wider margin (It was also outsold by XIII's spin-offs). We could look at the last Star Ocean as being emblematic of the genre's woes, as the fall off has been disheartening, but then what of Bravely Default? 

The bolded section above highlights the travesty that is this poll. How is it not on the list!? Regardless of what it represents to a genre, it was a masterpiece.

 

Side note: if you want a laugh, look up the number for FFXV on PS3.

Brand loyalty is a hell of a thing. Critically and user score wise XCX was the superior game.
