xD Maybe ten years ago, but not today. My watchers play Call of Duty, League of Legends, Animal Crossing, Skyrim, Minecraft... basically whatever is out there.

FF7 was the first story driven game I ever played so started playing other JRPG's after that but have since become more interested in the more realistic and gritty narratives that other companies produce. FFX was really the last Final Fantasy that I actually finished. Started XII and XIII but never finished them.
It sounds to me like you're just not into a modern JRPG and that's okay. But I wouldn't put your judgement of the game as a reason to ignore the general public any more than I'd put my judgement of XIII (which I enjoyed) ahead of the general public when considering how critically successful it was. In the end, FFXV, WoFF, FFVII Remake and FFXIV 2.0 onwards have all had huge success, and the 'failures' of XIII, XIV 1.0 and (apparently, according to Square Enix) Tomb Raider have all led to them working even harder on those games, not less so. I can't remember the last time Square Enix just said "well, it's not that great so let's give up on it" with an AAA title.
