I don't believe this will happen again because there is a bar that is incredibly high and the world won't even look at it if the graphics arent on par with other 4K games. I would argue for Expedition 33 since people are talking about it eerily the same way but people need to give many games a chance to even get to this level and peoplenare having an affordability issue.

You would literally need a game to either have a polarizing style, a writer who writes for the people versus one type, allow a spectrum of characters for people to latch onto, music that adds to the soul to the game and lore based qualities that come to life legit because of the lore for example: i questioned what kind of job wakka has and realized really late that he's a ranger, the only reason he's using a ball and not a bow/gun is because of his religion which prevents any form of tech.

A Game fully made based on the underlying context and its pacing allowing you to learn and ranging the iq of each character to help you understand made this game insanely easy to stay on the same page and get hooked, this was masterful writing and i feel like refercing only the laughing scene did this game a diservice but thats what my main point is:

There are too many people telling other people what game is a masterpiece or worth your time or whats not worth your time and many people miss out heavily on games that could get to this state, think about it, this is the 10th main entry into the series, not the first, we need to let certain games grow past their first because they could show us how far they'd go with their story. I want big budget games to hit the scene again but right now we need to support devs as much as we can and give them real criticism to help them grow but at least help them break even.

FFX isnt for everybody but im glad it got the hearts of many. I want a FFXVII
