Has there literally EVER been a game as culturally impacting

Street fighter 2

>>385918757
Super Mario Bros
Skyrim (unfortunately)
GTA III

Final Fantasy barely exists as an IP anymore, especially after all that bullshit with Lightning the whole series is no longer important.

So what third world country do you live in where FF is irrelevant?

>>385918871
I'd argue that street Fighter 2 had a bigger impact than FFVII.

>>385919334
I'm not white

Another World had a lot more impact. It might not have had the same "cultural impact" aka it did not spur a million emo-goths to cultivate a forum culture around farming chocobos, but that's a good thing.

What went wrong with Final Fantasy series?

>mfw FFXIII and FFXV

What the fuck happened?

>>385918757
which is weird because it's average in every facet

8 was better as well

>>385919153
15 is much worse than Lightning games

>>385919379
Neither were like 70 percent of the people that played SF2 in the arcades back in the day. White people are just pot monsters for the Japanese players in anime fighters or the Koreans in Tekken now.

>>385918757
It's not even the most influential game on the PS1, MGS is better regarded today, nor the best in the series (VI).

>>385918757
Doom

Thief 2

The height of hubris.

After FFX they were smelling their own farts.

Does anyone remember FFXIII's marketing campaign?

The goddamn arrogance was palpable.

>>385918757
Doom / Quake

>>385919271
You mean what third world country where it is still relevant? Have you ever heard anyone other than "hardcore gamers" who unironically think Zelda BotW is goty give two shits about FF in the last decade?

>>385918757
Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64, Tetris, Street Fighter II, Doom, Resident Evil, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart.

>>385918757
Ocarina of Time

Gears of War for TPS.

>>385918757

MGS was pretty influential but it really only advanced the stealth genre.
FFVII proliferated the use of FMVs and cinematics in games.
It's arguably the reason we have stuff like TLoU now.

>>385919271
FF has never been relevant. Its most successful game (VII) has sold about 12 million total which doesn't even put it in the top 50 highest selling all time list.

>>385925627
>Relevancy = sales
VII warped the Japanese game market for years to come. Meanwhile, fucking Avatar is still one of the most successful movies of all time, and that doesn't even have a fandom anymore

Counter Strike, a mod (which later became it's own game) that popularized the concept of tactical shooters.

I bet you born after 1992

>hardcore gamers are the real staple of relevancy not the extremely large casual market.

Come on dude don't be retarded. FF is one of the few JRPG series that has a pretty big casual appeal.

>>385927087
close but no. Also even if I was what would that matter? My little brother went to arcades with me all the time and he's more into fighting games than I am. Arcade scene relevancy in fighting games went all the way up to at least 2004 and in more populated areas it lasted even longer.

Arcade scene is making a mini comeback in some bigger areas too with Round 1 opening up more spots around the US. Would be really cool if I didn't have to drive six hours just to get to the one nearest to me.

idk I really like XII. X can fuck off for all I care though. Had really good music and that's about it.
