Taking Bolivar's advice I decided to create a seperate thread for a topic I brought up in another thread. For those of us veterans who have played most or all of the series, what are your thoughts overall about Final Fantasy and where it stands in the RPG genre? What are your personal thoughts of the series itself? The High Points? Low Points? What do you feel were some of the best ideas that should be explored more and what things should never see the light of day?

Be respectful and try not to devolve this into a generic fanboy debate
