FFXII was a masterpiece, and it's actually my favorite, I'm not one of those X is where it derrailed people Anyway, of course they can, but they just won't. WRPGs are hot stuff and Sony already found success with it, so there it'll stay, sadly. (Horizon was amazing, tho) |
Even FF turned Western, but FFXII was a very good RPG it wasn't FF though only in name. The music resembled Star Wars more than it did Uematsu's work. FF's spirit died when Sakaguchi left ( more like was forced to leave). FFXII however is probably Squares last great big time RPG. Even Enix caught the bug, Star Ocean stinks these days. The genre has been relegated to protable machines, the Switch might see a small revival though. Octopath was somewhat successful and Grandia 1-2 remasters are coming. The Tales Series continues the good fight as does the Xeno series. Ni No Kuni and others grace consoles now and then. So all hope it's not gone, but games like HZD, Witcher, Elderscrolls, GTA, etc command the high budgets. Let's see how KH3 does critically it might reignite some of the fire the genre lost.
