Kotaku - So I was just wondering about this. When did the Final Fantasy games get so serious?
Back through Final Fantasies III-VII the games seemed serious with a silly overtone. You had the dirty magazine in Final Fantasy IV, the silly animations and suplexing the train in Final Fantasy VI, and Barrett in Final Fantasy VII to name a few.
Magic the Gathering x Final Fantasy has been so successful that it managed to sell $200 million in just 24 hours.
I think if helped they the prices for all these products were extremely high at launch. Like no other cross over had prices these high. LotR for example weren't even close to FF MTG prices
