It's not so much that I have a problem with 2D, I just like the detail that comes with 3D. I love plenty of games that are 2D and dislike plenty that are 3D, but overall I tend to prefer 3D. People bitch and moan about how so many games seemed focused on graphics, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at this tech demo:

Well, for one thing, FF would not have ridden the wave of popularity that 3D gaming brought in the late 90s, meaning the series and perhaps even JRPGs themselves would have stayed a niche genre. Square would not have become super popular, and several side projects probably would have never left Japan like Xenogears or Dew Prism. The Spirits Within would not have been financed and thus Sakaguchi would most likely still be in charge of the franchise. We may not have ever seen the MMO entries as well. KH would probably not exist.
To tell the truth, I can't really fathom the franchise not going to 3D eventually. Unlike Dragon Quest, FF has always been a bit more flexible with its fanbase about changes.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Too bad hardly anybody can pull of something like this in games and what we get is Uncanny Valley.Originally Posted by Jessweeee♪
