Really?Are you serious?I may not like the direction they are taking with FF XV, but FF is arguably one of the most influential and important franchises in gaming history.

-Critical reception?Hell yes

-Popularity?Yes, without a doubt

-Sales?Yes, though this can be argued that there are better selling JRPGs out there.

-Online competitive community?No, but why the hell would it have that kind of community when FF was and is always a single player game?

-Influence on gaming industry?Of course, thats a no brainer.That should be beyond obvious.

-the cross media point?Outside of gaming there is some, but nothing major, but what about it?Few franchises does that and are successful in these ventures in the long run

-A cultural icon?Of course.Again, that is beyond obvious, as obvious as the Influence on gaming industry point.

You can't seriously believe Final Fantasy is more popular than Pokémon or sells more or is a bigger cultural phenemenon/icon. Seriously, did you live under a rock for the last twenty years? Didn't you see the hype Pokémon Go unleashed on the world this year?

And FF has an MMORPG, so no FF isn't always a single player game. Dragon Quest had a much bigger influence on the video gaming industry than FF by the way, including on FF itself.

And many main-line FF games have received mixed reception from fans and critics alike.

 

"did you live under the rock" that's an ironic question, isnt it

 

Lest forget pokemon has anime, movie, and tgs behind its franchise.

 

Hmmm since we're talking abt pokemon vs FF, why do reviewers take points away from FFXV shallow story, but not from pokemon's terribad story? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

So about as good as Pokémon Sun and Moon (which only took 3 years to make while also having made a remake of Gen III in the process). Pokémon is still the king of RPGs I'm afraid. :p

what's the point of the comment? 

Because I saw some people state FF was the king of jrpgs here recently. Just having some innocent fun with them. ;)

I bought a PS4 specifically for this game and Uncharted. Though I just started looking at other games and there is not a whole lot I want.

Looks a little too girly, but fun.
Decent score.

Only will by when cheaper.

Cast consists only only males,  "looks a little too girly" 😂 makes sense 🙄

Yes but these are Final Fantasy males which are often a bit feminin. They are typically less macho than the WCW American Males music video.

86, huh? That's pretty disappointing.

Final Fantasy has been and always will be the king of jrpgs. 

Based on what?

- Critical reception? Nope.

- Popularity? Nope.

- Sales? Hell no.

- Online (competitive) community? Hell no.

- Influence on the gaming industry? Arguable.

- Influence outside of the gaming industry? Hell no.

- As a cross-media franchise spanning an anime series, movies, manga, toy-line, games, etc.? Hell no.

- As cultural icons? Hell no.

The burden of proof is on you, not him to disprove the statement. The lack of new IPs pretty much enshrines FF into it permantently unless KH or Tales gets better.

86 is disappointing?  What exactly do you play?  Only games that score above 90 or something xD

I'm glad the game is getting good reviews and it seems that it's good. Also my metascore prediction is correct so far 

Edit: Also I don't understand why do some people think a score of less than 90 is bad. People using the "it was 10 yeears in development" excuse don't really know this game's development story.
