The last great Final Fantasy was X (not including the DS remakes), and it's been a downward spiral from there.
For a "downward spiral" the games have been extremely profitable. Final Fantasy still rakes in big bucks, it will continue until it doesn't, actually, it will continue a few times after it doesn't.
By "downward spiral", I meant aesthetically. Profitable? Indeed. People will buy Final Fantasy almost unconditionally, which is unfortunate if you ask me. I think if one of their games flopped big time, they would be forced to return to its roots, to reel back in the hardcore FF gamers. I don't know. Doubt it'll ever happen. I guess I was just so frustrated FFXIII's blah-ness.
