Teens are more likely to be quite apathetic, naive, and more easily led, and most likely to follow the crowd. If it's something is in fashion, they are going to follow it. They are also less likely to give a smurf if the game has storyline flaws and character flaws, as longs as it has the newest and flashiest graphics, and it's entertaining.

While a young adult/ adult is more likely to say, screw this, I deserve more for my money, a deep storyline with effort and hardwork put into it and characters that are relatable and memorable.


While making a solid Final Fantasy makes more sense, at the end of the day, Square is a business and they are going to do whatever they can to collect money and collect that money quickly. So cut corners, focus on a main character that's stylish and cool towards the teenage demographic, pretty graphics, and a battle system that even the dumbest person could use and understand.

Final Fantasy XIII is dreadful, though at the end of the day, it sold and created enough interest for Square to make sequels.

Looking back, I don't think that I would ever pick up FF X if it came out today, but I went bonkers over it when I was about 12.
