NHK publishes the results of a mega survey on the Final Fantasy franchise. The tenth installment achieves victory. These are the complete results.

Final Fantasy continues as an immovable stronghold in Japan. The brand faces the next release of the remake of the seventh installment, whose last delay placed it on April 10. Meanwhile, in Japan they have wanted to make the final survey. What are the favorite deliveries, characters and themes for your fans? NHK has the answer.

A sample of almost half a million votes (468,654, to be exact) has given Final Fantasy X as the most beloved game, followed by VII, VI and IX. The percentages speak clearly: the age range between 20 and 29 years has given practically the same value as the framework between 30 and 39 years. However, the seventh and ninth installments had a higher ratio among the most veteran, even leaving us at the percentage of 40 and 49 years.

Users seem to have chosen the classics above the modern stream. Only one launched from 2010 onwards has entered the top 5: Final Fantasy XIV. To see another recent, we must go to the tenth place, obtained by Final Fantasy XV.

As for characters, Cloud takes the victory over names like Yuna, Aerith and Vivi, respectively. If we go to the melodies, To Zanarkand is the most voted topic by the Japanese, in a list in which Final Fantasy XIII sneaks into the top 5 with Blinded by Light.
