I never really liked this hip style Square has sticked with in the newer FF games.
It feels like they're trying to reach out to the spoiled, 10-year-old brats out there, so they create games with a more "hip" attitude.
Yeah yeah, you all know what I mean: the first six parts in the series were all about pure fantasy, perhaps a little darker in the later ones: then, suddenly some punk kid with a huge-ass sword jumps off a train and starts talking to some tough-talking bodybuilder.
Like "yo, man, this %¤/&¤% ain't nuthin' to leave 'round here, now!", bla-bla-bla.
Then of course they throw in this excessively hot chick Tifa, and of course everyone's gotta be fat politicians and whatnot.
I mean, sure, I did somewhat learn to like the huge changes, but sometimes I think this hip attitude becomes a bit annoying.
It went on in FF8 as well, with a bunch of teenagers that were way too realistic for my tastes.
For a while they went back to their roots with FF9, but instantly afterwards they went on with this hip style: Tidus in jogging shoes or what the heck it's supposed to resemble.
It's Final FANTASY, for God's sake, not Final Future!
I know Square always try to do something different, but this hip style doesn't feel like a good thing to stick with.
They should've stopped after FF8, perhaps even after FF7.
