Final Fantasy has roman numerals since forever. Everyone knows it's FF FIFTEEN.

In all seriousness though, Xenoblade Chronicles X is an incredibly stupid name. It really does sound like an update of sorts to the original game. It's just as dumb as Super Smash Bros. FOR 3DS/FOR WII U. I digress.

Wait, XV is coming to PC? First I've heard of that, I think. Something high-profile was recently announced for PC.... Phantom Pain, right?

Nothing concrete yet, but with FFXIII coming and MGSPP coming, its inevitable!

I'm only a 'fan' of one because I still have some faith in the Final Fantasy franchise, despite Square Enix's repeated attampts to destroy it.

Not at all interested in the other, since it's predecessor (Xenoblade Chronicles) was one of the worst RPGs I have ever played.

I honestly haven't seen anyone make the mistake you've pointed out, but perhaps I haven't spoken with the right people. If there really is as much brand confusion as you seem to believe, a few comments to these confused consumers would be appreciated.

Personally, I like Xenoblade Chronicles X more than I would Xenoblade Chronicles II. It draws a connection to the previous game without sounding iterative. Xenoblade isn't an established brand like Final Fantasy, having "2" in the title could a potential turn-off for fans who hadn't played the first game. Conversely, the fans who did play the first game are likely aware of what X is. It's not like the first title pulled in a lot of casual fans who don't research games, it's a game targetting JRPG enthusiasts.

Both games are intended to draw connections to previous titles, which was why I made my jab.

Also, I highly recommend looking up the word 'objective'. 

Ach, I forgot about XIII. I suppose it's possible then, but maybe not simultaneously with the XB1 and PS4 versions.

Oh, you thought I was serious with the whole "objective" thing? My bad.
