Kirby is predominantly loved by females over there ... Honestly, it checks out with the esthetics of the games.

Though the assessment that FF and Dragon Quest are loved by some of the oldest gaming crowds prolly goes hand in hand with the dwindling sales of the series over there in some part.

Yeah the average Final Fantasy player being 42 really puts things in perspective.

Seems that those who grew up after the 6th gen just never really got into the series as the mainline entries weren't on DS/PSP/3DS/Switch, so now there's a whole generation plus who just never got into it.
