Picking the collective brain

[owlmoose]

Was chatting with renay about fandom stuff, and we got to wondering something that really requires the collective consciousness of fandom. So, have a poll.

[Poll #1472564]


Please spread this one far and wide; I want as broad a sampling as possible. Also, my standard disclaimer: I welcome open and honest discussion, but I request that you not flame FFX-2 in comments -- flawed or no, I happen to be quite fond of it, so if anyone comes out with the burning hatred, the conversation isn't going to get very far. Thanks.

Nay and I were actually talking about the platform issue last night. It hadn't occurred to me that the disparity of platforms would leads to more people only playing one of the games, but of course it makes sense. This is definitely the case for Compilation and FFXII/RW, and I think to a certain extent for the Tactics games as well? There are people who have played X-2 and not FFX, but not nearly as many. Same platform, same genre, marketed as a direct sequel (which RW was not).

I wonder if there is a distinction to be made between separate fandoms and separate canons.

CURSE YOU KJ because in my tl;dr comment I have been picking away at for a while I was going to specifically bring up separate fandoms vs. separate canons GR GR GR it was going to sound so DEEP AND ORIGINAL and now you have STOLEN MY THUNDER
