I think the original Playstation might be my favorite console because they pushed out so many of these things during that time. What a time for rpg's. Now it takes forever to make a game.

Well yeah, you have 12 in '06 and then 13 in '09, both of which were meh, then it's back to back 7 year gaps before 15 and 16, both of which are also (afaik) considered mediocre. I can't imagine many people have become fans of the franchise in the last 20 years.
Makes sense, the heyday of the franchise was FFVI-X which means a lot of late gen X and early millennials fans.
Makes sense. The last good new FF was what, 10?
12 isn't bad.
12 looked really cool when it came out but I never played it. The first open world FF
It's really weird because you can tell they were still in a very MMO design mindset and thought it would be really cool to try to make that stuff work as a single-player game. I think it worked, but it's not for everybody.
I remember looking at the gameplay and thinking they squeezed the absolute shit out of the ps2’s capabilities.
i know some 13 defenders
Ye we exist. It’s not perfect by any means but there’s one design decision they made that lifts this game up significantly: Damage taken in battles does not persist after the battle. You always start battles with full health.
Such a simple thing but it gives the game a very different difficulty curve.
I got an hour into 13 before I uninstalled it because the mannerisms were so cringey. It's the only game I've ever played where I thought "Oh, I'm definitely getting my money back", and I played Brink.
Haven't watched the video but its not that shocking. FFXIV and nostalgia remakes are what drive the franchise. MMOs themselves are a middle aged's hobby. The more interesting thing is that last I checked FF's demographic is nearly half women.
makes sense, FF is not a new series at all
Based on the people my partner interacts with on FFXIV this might even be an underestimate
huh, i expected it to be a little lower, maybe 35-38
figured that would be the perfect age for being a kid when 7 came out
The answer to life the universe and everything.
I wonder if it’s similar for Dragon Quest
