- Thread starter MeachTheMonster
- Start date
Arise sold more than its predecessor
It quite literally IS a JRPG
Final Fantasy has lost audience with each entry
Blaming that on the genre in general is just an excuse instead of admitting Square has made some bad decisions for FF
2 sold more than 1.

and 1 sold like 4 or 5 million copies 2 didnt to my knowledge.2 sold more than 1.
I kinda agree with you here but for the sake of the argument in this thread there are all types of “JRPG”s and most of them are growing. None of them are selling only half of what their predecessors did. It’s not the genre that’s tanking FF sales. There’s clearly a large and growing market for JRPGs
1 made it to 3 million copies eventually. 2 Made it to 1 million sold quicker than 1 did.

CAC tweets. 
I'm heavy into the gerne and when you say expanding their base most of those series dream of sales like Final Fantasy that's been in decline for over a decade even when it was on Xbox with XIII and XV get.Most other JRPG franchises have been expanding their user base lately, Final Fantasy is going in the other direction.
Stop making excuses
You think Bandai Namco couldn't cream themselves if Tales could sell 3-4 million as fast as Rebirth did? Took from 2021 to now to hit that for Arise. Sounds like Rebirth did that really in under a month. Persona 5 took multiple releases and versions to crack 7 million over many years.
Final Fantasy hit the limit for what a game of that style can sell. They may be in decline but it's still the high mark for the entire gerne.
Dark Souls and Elden Ring don't play like a traditional Japanese style role playing game or anything close to it.
Yakuza literally was a beat em up until just 2 games ago and built an entire fanbase being that pre-switch.
Final Fantasy is like a 7-10 million a game selling franchise. That's the upper end for what that style of game where you and your party travel the world adding members to take down some ancient evil with a strategic battle system has been doing.
The fact that you want to compare Elden Ring to a traditional Japanese role playing game or any derivative shows you're being disengenious.
The Tales of Arise also isn't a JRPG either.
Neither does Final Fantasy.
It’s always been a JRPG. As it’s moved further into “traditional rpg” territory its user base has grown. The exact opposite of FF….Crazy how that worked
Yeah and it’s last couple entries are struggling to even get close to selling 5 mill
I gave you all different types of JRPGs to compare to.
The fact that you are still jewelzing around the truth shows you are being disingenuous.
If yakuza and dark souls don’t count cause they aren’t turn based than FF doesn’t count as a JRPG either

Those are growing FF is shrinking. It’s nowhere near its own high marks, and it’s not because it’s a JRPG
