Many people used to consider FF the king of the RPG genre and it's now far from being turn based.
I've been reading about the "death of the turn based games", even though we still have games like Xenoblade, Pokemon, Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem and others like Child of Light and Bravely Default.
However we've got to admit that many of the turn based games currently are mobile, niche or indie. Franchises like Dragon Quest don't dominate the charts worldwide and many top-notch titles like Xenoblade and Shin Megami Tensei don't sell like other big AAA games-- if Xenoblade can be considered somehow turn based is yet to be debated--
We don't have a reasonable amount of big worldwide examples like Pokemon and some big franchises like FF just moved on.
What do you think?
Do you have any figures about the market of turn based games to share?
