Has Final Fantasy ever had AAA Jrpg competition since FF6???

Legend of dragoon had a budget of 50 million and was marketed as the final Fantasy killer. Zelda would be the best direct triple A competitor. Pokemon as well
 
Look I hated FF15 but it oozes bloated production value.

In fact with the beginning of FF7 that's basically the series defining hallmark. And there aren't a lot of companies that can spend that kind of money on a JRPG.
 
Tales of Arise and Xenoblade Chronciles 1 & 2 capture the grandeur of an FF game. Persona 5 and recent Yakuza games as well, although there's a lot of asset reuse and repetition in those games.

I think with FFXVI and VII Rebirth Square is going to reassert themselves as the kingpins in terms of delivering a comprehensive experience that other developers struggle to rival.
