I'm certain we have all had this happen. Some loser waltz into your favorite FF forum and decries the game you love. You battle with them but they just won't listen and finally you back this person into a corner and they go to the "it lacked the 'FF experience' I've come to enjoy. It just didn't feel like an FF game"

So here a question I humbly ask you fellow EoFFers... What is the "FF Experience" to you? What makes this series stand apart from others in your mind? Hell what makes certain FFs stand apart from your favorites?

Thought out answers are much appreciated
