Sequels, Prequels, and Franchises

[Hot Shot]

That writer of that article is too sceptic and negative of SE and he writes as if everybody shares his views. I mean, yes, the quality has dropped in their games in recent years and they do milk FF VII for all it's worth, but I think we should be hopeful of XIII's sequels. Personally I think Versus XIII is gonna be one oft their best games in a long time.

That's if Versus even sees the light of day - at this rate they'll probably integrate it in FFXIII-3.
It's hard not to be skeptical of Square when they've gone from releasing one awesome title every few years to releasing 3-4 sub-standard titles every year.

This article reminds me of all the "Fifth generation Pokemon are UGLY!" stuff. Seriously, I think most of that is just the Nostalgia Filter having its way. I haven't played XIII yet, but XII blew me away with its sheer mastery, so my personal experience gives me no evidence that SE is in decline Also, the KH "spin-offs" (as in, handheld titles) are, IMO, great, maybe even better than the "main" games. And the story makes perfect sense to me

On topic, franchises are OK as long as they're implemented right. Heck, I can even forgive X-2's horrible storyline thanks to the awesome gameplay and the game not taking itself too seriously.

Your mileage may vary on that one, really. I find most of them endearing I was never really fond of the G1 Pokemon, actually.

Here's something for you all to read.

Apparently, you can't differentiate between obvious troll and substantial opinionated articles that is far from often deal with childhood memories.
The fanbase for FF is huge and varied, it is extremely shortsighted and narrowminded to take what he feel about FF personally and project it on
everyone else. That would be silly.

Eh, what?
