Should the "Final Fantasy" series end?

I think the number series was at its best between VI and X. Other fans are bound to think this way too. The more and more crap Square manages to create through Compilation of VII (my OP though I dont mind AC) the more and more likely a remake is.

If you have a link to that pic Im BEGGING YOU to lemme see.

Here's a couple pics that I found:

How do you like them apples?

I really wish they would've made this game.

i don't think the series will end soon :confused: . they're still busy now with FFXII, FFVII Dirge of Cerberus and they're probably working on FFXIII as i'm typing this :mad: .

feion, if they'd have stopped at seven, I'd be out a couple of favorite games. :)

Maybe at FFXIII. Hey, they should make that one about Red XIII.

It wasn't an aborted game - it was just a tech demo set up to demonstrate the power of the yet to be unveiled Ultra64 hardware (which would find it's way to the N64). Too bad that's all it was.

I still have an old issue of GameFan magazine up in my room that, in the same issue, features both the screens of the mentioned tech demo, and a huge (like 10 page) feature on the earliest preview of Final Fantasy VII, around the time that you first learn the names of the main characters.

In the article is a screenshot of Aeris kneeling at the Forgotten Capital with the image caption reading "Is this where you meet Aeris?". I found this to be hilarious when reading back on it. I'll reread through it and see if there's some parts worth posting. If I had a scanner, I'd just post images of the whole article.

On a slightly unrelated note, I can't find my oldest issue of GamePro (the cover of which has an artist's rendition of Sheeva of Mortal Kombat 3, and features a very early preview of MK3, one where only the silhouette of the cybernetic ninja models are shown and their names aren't listed). :( :(

Man, I wish they would've made that game.

Me. Too.

Rubedo: I probably wouldn't want the series to end, but soon enough, I would guess that the number of "Original" Final Fantasies will end, and eventually, it will just be sequels/prequls/remakes of different Final Fantasies that were hits; Following the example Shin Seiki Mobile Suit Gundam.

chaos: But, I doubt Square would stop. People will just keep buying and buying the games. Nowadays, the words "Final Fantasy" have that "cha-ching" feeling to them :D

It's kind of scary that a last resort for the creator made such a big hit. It's scary to think that if the first one did'nt do so well...
Well let's just say we're thankful that the worst case scenario did'nt happen.

I shiver at the thought of a world without Final Fantasy...

I as well. COuld you immagine a game with the story and playability of FF6 with the graphic filling of FFX? I would love to see my favorite game in all that glory.

But since it's not likely to happen, I still love it the way it is... to bad they couldn't have added a few more FMV's with it though...

As should the FF series end? If it continues in it's slide from great storytelling and wonderful playability to nothing more than a graphics demonstration, then yes it should. And it probably will.

And DJ, I wasn't aware that they remade FF4 with better graphics. I know they did it on FFChronicles, (which I own), but it has the same graphics as FF2 for the SNES. Details, please. I wanna play this newer FF4 now.

if the series ended at 7 i wouldnt be playing ff that much probably not at all.

Thanks for the pics by the way ^^ (Its Amano styled Terra, Im sure)

they're remaking ff7-9 but we dunno if they'll be released

Where did you hear that? And why would they make and not release them?

Should the Final Fantasy series end? Only when they start to get consistantly bad. Although some would argue that has been happening lately...
