At large, I guess.

Speaking of FF, did you realize it took SE ten years to make Final Fantasy XV? Ten years, I beat it a few months back and I barely remember anything about it. There's no reason in the world they need to be spending ten years on a Final Fantasy game.

Street Fighter 2 and its 5 million versions for Street Fighter.

Yeah. Probably because they're still dusting off the same game engine 25 years later, really.

Ocarina of time for Zelda.

You think? I think it's kind of like FF where on this line a gang of people loved FF6 and a gang of other people like FF7. In this case, OoT vs. ALttP.

Mega Man 2 for Mega Man.

Do people really have a strong favorite like that? Is that a thing? I mean, there's 1, and then 2-6 all sort of blur together.

Tekken 3 for Tekken. Etc.

Yeah, I can see that one.
