A proper Bethesda RPG is far more popular than Final Fantasy.

In general “western” RPGs from CDPR or Bethesda, Diablo and now BG3 are what’s popular with the masses as Final Fantasy keeps underperforming outside of the MMO.

Then again… those games are RPGs. FF16 is not.
It you think starfield is more popular than the ff franchises, you are fucking delusional or just trolling, how many movies? Games, and millions of merchandise starfield or skyrim have? Gtfo with these stupid hot takes

Western fantasy aesthetics are popular right now but none of these examples carry the same type of brand relevance as Final Fantasy.

The masses do not give a f*ck about Baldur’s Gate.

Entire Final Fantasy franchise has sold 180 million copies with over a hundred games in total while Skyrim has sold 60 million by itself. Hell, Fallout 4 sold more in a day (12 million) than FFXV did in five and a half years (10 million)!

🤣

In denial… that’s okay. You can believe whatever fiction you want.

Major Bethesda and CDPR releases sell upwards of 30 million. They’re exponentially bigger and each new release bigger than the last since players seem to want more of them. Sorry… FF can’t even touch em right now.

So how do you explain Fallout 4 selling more in a day than Final Fantasy XV selling more in five years if not for popularity? 😂

LOL the guy is completely clueless 😄

FF is nowhere close to popularity these days than Fallout lmao.. Don't bother with that clown.
Oh were are now into the "these days"
The neverending circus

Again the three of you, you realise fucking morons, that popularity its tv series, movies, merchandise, etc? Because and im gonna repeat again, if you think starfield, Fallout of any bgs game have more transmedia or merchandise than the ff saga, you are two things

1 a fucking delusional clown
2 a xbot

In the case of remji, he is a poor butthurt pos who just want to stir shit up

Final Fantasy is nowhere NEAR Fallout in popularity... and counting old ass movies that bombed (and almost killed Square) and chocobo plushies isn't changing that you fucking moron.

You release a new Fallout game on the same day as you release a new Final Fantasy game... and Fallout WILL DESTROY IT.

It's that simple. Now run along and cry about me somewhere else.

Look at the google trends for the past 5 years... Fallout consistently much higher than FF.. until right at the end which is around the release of FF16... and then it dropped off like a rock again after.. I mean look at Fallout 76's interest at the beginning of that chart.... FF is NEVER matching that... FF7R couldn't even come close to it.... A new Fallout game would completely obliterate Final Fantasy.. that's just facts.

Many also like to shit on games immediately with their bias and move goal posts but then dont dock others for the same reasons or worse. Days Gone was a great game that did open world better than most games (imo of course) but was docked points for bugs that were fixed months later.
I pre ordered days gone & played it day one it was great I encountered one bug on the final mission that wouldn't let me progress but it got patched the next day even with the bugs it was still a solid 9/10 for me loved it

Id be very surprised to see this review less than 90

Alot of MS’s future depends on how successful this is. They all know it. And we know how they do.
I wonder if it will get judged like other games?

Will it innovative? Or just be Skyrim and Fallout in Space. I mean God of War Ragnarok and Zelda TOTK were called DLC…
Farcry and AC get complaints about just being the same game with different look

Combat?
Walking sim?

We know reviewers hate cinematic games, cutscenes and walking conversations when some studios do it. Im sure it will be fine in Starfield though because Skyrim/Fallout is full of conversations and walking to places to talk to an NPC.…..over and over……followed by average combat… and then talking to NPC………..…….. 10/10
It most definitely won't innovate anything but Phil Spencer loves to use that word (he thinks game pass is innovation when it's just the netflix template applied to games 🤣)
