You know what is quite weird. I'm playing FFIX at the moment and I love the towns. They just feel so old-school, so NES & SNES FF. But at the time, people criticised the game for being a regression backwards, because at that time, games had moved in a certain direction. I think XIII in hindsight will be considered really great, pulling FF into a positive new direction. Yes, it might not be perfect, but it is on a new frontier, pushing FF somewhere unique, so these inadequacies are acceptable. And I think the FFs that we see from now on will have taken something from XIII.
