Thread: Why is Final Fantasy so popular?

  1. #1

    Default Why is Final Fantasy so popular?

    Like the title says, what makes the average person on the street want to buy such a popular game?
    Please feel free to read my take on the official novalisation of Dissidia Final Fantasy at this link:

    I bought it by accident because the cover looked cool. Got hooked ever since.

    Just go on to the Final Fantasy Retrospective thread and see the videos, and you'll see why. Now go! Vanish! Depart! Leave!

    Fortunately it was not my copy of the game, or else I would have given him a good ass whipping.

    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.

    Frankly though, the game's popularity in Japan can mainly be blamed on FF1 for having apparently been pretty ground-breaking at the time. The rest of the world? Stupid wapanese morons, that's all we are

    Most likely because they're fun and have effective marketing.

    That and the $100 million marketing campaign that went with it.
