I like alternating when I get bored of turned based, or bored of the minimal strategy in action based. If you like Hybrid, there's FF 7 Remake, FF 14, Tales of.series, etc.
If you like pure action with rpg elements, there's Souls games, Witcher and a myriad of others. Why not both? If u like turned based, there's Dragon Warrior, Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Divinity etc. I wonder how much better Persona 5 would have done and Dragon Quest XI if those games had received the same level of marketing that the latest Final Fantasy and Pokemon games received. I personally think that is down to marketing, no other JRPG series get's the same level of marketing as these two do. Turn based and action based JRPG's in general don't sell as massively as these two series in the west. It was only Final Fantasy that was topping those charts before, well, Final Fantasy and Pokemon to be more accurate. If Final Fantasy 7 Remake was turn based, it would still have sold as well as it has done.Īs for turn based rpg's not topping the charts anymore, the person writing this article answers his own quetsion. Final Fantasy will always sell well because of it's name and the amount of marketing that goes with it.
I can turn this around and say how many action JRPG games sell that many copies in the west? The answer is none. This is an unfair argument against other turn based role playing games. When is the last time that a turn-based RPG game reached those sorts of heights? Well, FF8, FF10 and FF12 sold a huge amount of copies during their lifespan, with Final Fantasy 10 selling around 8 million units, making it the 5th biggest game on PlayStation 2.īut what about right now? What turn-based RPG games really top the charts in the same way that these classics did?" That puts FFVII just behind Gran Turismo as the second biggest game of the PlayStation 1 era. "The original Final Fantasy VII sold in excess of 9 million.
