Yes, I'm well aware that the likes of GTA and Minecraft have sold more game copies. But you can't deny the success Pokemon has had and the mainline titles sell 10m+ copies pretty consistently.

The point is that classic style RPGs are still perfectly viable in the market. It's okay if you don't like it, nothing is for everyone. Final Fantasy however has done nothing but shrink in relevance ever since abandoning its roots. The sad thing is FFVIIR was the perfect opportunity for SE to test the waters with a classic style release in the mainstream, and they were so adamantly against it they changed the game beyond recognition and split it into separate parts whose cutoff points make almost no sense in terms of pacing.

honestly? >>713126816 is on point, id rather have nothing than to have gen v ruined like gen iv was, at least unlike gen iv, v doesnt have any glaring problems that hold it down and that a remake could fix
and i think most of the fanbase knows that, beyond the unova wanking that exists right now, nobody is actually asking for a gen v remake
