I was referring to Bolivar's comment though I understand your feelings about XII being a radical departure from the series. Sorry for the confusion.Originally Posted by The EoFF Phantom
It doesn't have to, but it doesn't mean they won't either. Advertising and hype can add to appeal. So can making a Final Fantasy Shoot-'em-up.
I don't mind them making more Western RPGs, but they shouldn't label them with such names as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. There's a reason we like these series. Because they are Japanese RPGs. If we wanted to play more Western-style RPGs, we'd be playing them.
That's why many of us were wary of Final Fantasy XII. By overhauling its battle system, many of us fans felt like something had been stolen from us. Something that had worked for almost twenty years, and something that drew us to the games in the first place.
DQV will definetly do well but we'll have to wait and see for Last Remnant.
