I respect your opinion of FF, but it is obvious that people who have same opinion like you aren't actually interested in these games anymore because they want games that they found them to be pioneering games of this era. SQEX pioneered on high expectation. They no longer to release product that meets that expectation.Originally Posted by cloud_doll
Well. I actually agree with this article. It's all opinion of course, but he has a point...Sure, the fanbase is huge, and that's exactly why Squenix keeps making sequels and prequels and spin-offs. Honestly I'm sick of it all and I stopped playing FF at X, well in the middle of X. Before that the games were all great. But I guess, like mentioned, when you have a cow you gotta milk it for all it's worth.
For instance take a look at Vivi22 comment on the subject, he seemed to think there was a mystique quality in Squaresoft games that is magically disappeared from FF series and he seemed to ask this question "Why can't Japanese studios do this and that like western studios?".
In other words : Japanese gaming is dead: chapter 334.
You will find the similar articles for JRPGs, Japanese survival horror, Square, Zelda, MGS, RE, Ridge Racer, Gran truismo, etc. all of these articles have common bottom line which is "why these games aren't that magical and gifts from heaven like they used to".
