Like the title says, what makes the average person on the street want to buy such a popular game?
...Because it's popular...?
Because it has everything an RPG should have, and more!
I bought it by accident because the cover looked cool. Got hooked ever since.
To help us escape the pain and isolation of our pitiful, meaningless existance.
Just go on to the Final Fantasy Retrospective thread and see the videos, and you'll see why. Now go! Vanish! Depart! Leave!
Because I said it was.
I first bought it because the name Final Fantasy sounded cool to me got hooked by the way.
My friend (Comet) lent me FF8 which I lost the last disc of. I'm a wonderful friend indeed.
Fortunately it was not my copy of the game, or else I would have given him a good ass whipping.
Because of FFVII. :(
Pretty much. This game got me into it, now the three NES titles (which I have to emulate because I'm european) are stopping me getting out of it.Quote:

Most likely because they're fun and have effective marketing.
That and the $100 million marketing campaign that went with it.Quote:

I heard about the series from a nagging friend who forced it down my throat... Still haven't thanked him.
