There is no definitive RPG series, each series has its own charms and flaws. Star Ocean, for example, has really good music and a fun skill system (except in 3), but the stories can be pretty batshit insane (specifically in 3).
tl;dr Star Ocean 3 is pretty bad

>Persona replaces FF
>Halo replaces Doom
What are other examples?

>XIV over WoW
>Sonic Transformed over Mario Kart

Some older examples but...
>Mario over Pitfall
>Zelda over Adventure

TF2 replaces OW

Despite how much of a mess modern Final Fantasy is, it still sells way more than Persona, so I don't know what you're on about. You probably think Yea Forums is the center of the universe.
