    Nah, it won't end for a while i think, there are still a lot that support Square-Enix. They will hopefully keep making until a drastic change in supporters. Mainly the reason is, they will keep making for the money, it's just all a large competition.

    It started to be all the same when Nomura forgot how to draw more then one character.


    Honestly I hope the series does XIV, brings Sakaguchi, Amano, and Uematsu and various other old faces back to head the project, and they kill the series on a positive note unlike milking it as SE seems to want to do anymore and make the last few games a joke as too many other companies do anymore (in more then video games mind you).

    i don't know, I think that when you have to start telling people you're playing Final Fantasy XXIII you know it's getting a little redundant. I don't know if it should go up to that point.

    I would like to see SE start making more original titles (Last Remnant looks great). You have people over there that have been working on nothing other than Final Fantasy for the last few years, I'd like to see them move on and try their hand(s) at something different.

    redundent? What? FFXII was different from all the rest so far, there was no main love (that was at least alive), The main character wasn't really the most important character, the "world" was never in any real apocalyptic trouble and we dived into politics for once!

    I dont think they'll stop even after they start having to use scientific notation for the numbers to fit on the disc.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!

    They'll stop making them when people stop buying them.

    I don't plan to buy 13 and I've owned FF1-FFXII, including FFXI, in my life. Basically that shows how I feel the series is going, and I don't believe I'm the only one who feels that way.

    I think that 13 is the last of them. It is a large scale project. In which can be matched by the Compilation of FFVII, for better or worse. Plus it was said a while ago, about the time of FFIX that XIII would be the last FF. Though that was BEFORE Hironobu leaving...

    Final Fantasy as a franchise is sort of unique because each installment doesn't require previous knowledge of any other product to enjoy it. Think of something like the Star Wars series of films; anyone attempting to jump in at Return of the Jedi wouldn't have the foggiest idea what was going on. It's less a series more a sort of name that has been stuck onto various RPG's that happen to have common elements, elements that arguably cross RPG's anyway. So while they may stop using the name Final Fantasy, it wouldn't be a great shock if they carried on making RPG's in a similar vein to FF.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Precisely.

    Except that can't happen with Sakaguchi having Mistwalker now, and Uematsu working with him. I love FF, but I think it should have ended with FFXI(even though I enjoyed FFXII).

    I think FF is not as big as it use to be, it's ashame because I am a big fan of the games as I'm sure you all are ofcourse. Nowadays everyone's playing multi-player, first shooter or statistical games. Final Fantasy is losing it's classy factor, they need something new, something different that will make other gamers that usually don't go for games like FF be interested. At the moment Halo 3 is the big game of the year and I hope that it will not crush FF XIII like a bug. I love the stories and romance but the world is changing. I think I shall now shut up since I feel I've blabbered a bit too much.

    Theyll keep it going for as long as possible, even if they lose some long time fans theyll gain new ones from kids growing up right now, and if all goes wrong theres always the FFVII remake

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    i don't think the series is in any trouble as of right now. First of all, the games are as popular as ever in Japan, and any bad turn in interest in the United States will not likely have an impediment on the health of the series.

    Second, XII sold nearly as well as X and is one of the best selling games ever on the ps2. i don't think interest will be a problem. If you look at any site hosting the trailers to XIII and vXIII, and read the comments, the overwhelming consensus is that people are very eager for these games. One problem that may arise is the lower performance of the ps3 sales in the US compared to other platforms, but along with the other great games going to be released this year for it, i don't think it'll be a problem by then.
