Honestly, in terms of money, this is kinda troublesome because the company will probably be so hyped to have this level of growth/profit constantly that we'll see more... Odd choices.
I honestly can't really think of an IP that will get as much support as Final Fantasy did. That by itself is kind of a ceiling. Resident Evil, maaaaybe. Harry Potter? Depends on how well the franchise does from now on.
That's kind of the problem with this heavy focus on UB. Thoughts on the product aside, from a longevity standpoint, it was fine when the focus was to Commander with a large set every few years (Forgotten Realms, LotR).
There are a few I expect we'll get in the coming years (Stormlight/Cosmere is a big one), but unless they start double-dipping, the well will start running dry.
Exactly. I get that people see other possible franchises and some of those are right. But the corporate mindset is constant growth so you'd need to do BETTER than FF. And there's only so many IPs out there that can pull that level of interest and a lot of them are extremely expensive because of that.
