Our Franchise Sucks

I'd actually like to note on what one of the commenters touches on - the fact that it's all a matter of taste. Throwing the entirety of Final Fantasy under a single umbrella of judgement is pretty unfair because while they're all similar, they're all very different. It's like saying "I hate fruit" when there's only really a few that are bad apples.
Somewhere else posted something on this site (I can't remember who and I can't be arsed to search for it) stating that the great thing about Final Fantasy is that if you aren't fond of one game, there's a chance that one of the others will appeal to you (or something along those lines, wish I could quote to acknowledge credit). That's pretty much how I feel about it. There's something for everyone in this franchise and if you don't like any of it at all, you're probably just hungry for hateburgers.
I didn't read it, but knowing gamers nowadays it is probably nothing more than their will to whine or hate and turn everything into hyperbole.
Oh, it's a webcast. Eh.
I both agree and disagree with you, Shorty. I think it's perfectly possible to REASONABLY not like any Final Fantasy. My friend, she doesn't like them, because you can't actively control you character (as opposed to Kingdom Hearts, one of her favourite games.) But she doesn't hate the game for baseless reasons. The gameplay itself is something she doesn't enjoy, so the whole series is kind of out for her.

What would you do without me Shorty?
Can't view the site at work.But haters gonna hate, as the saying goes.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
It seems like the point of the article is to take a popular series and focus on the negative. It reminds me of the American football segment at Deadspin where they go through all NFL teams and each article is titled "Why your team sucks: [team]"
I WILL DIE TO DEFEND FINAL FANTASY!!! MESSIAH!!! FINAL FANTASY IS THE MESSIAH!!!!
Has she tried playing Dirge of Cerberus? You may be afraid she'll dislike it because you don't like the story. But the story for KH isn't a godsend either. Just tell her to try out DC.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
It's not that post specifically, but you're probably right that it's something in that thread.You're either thinking of this post:

I'd be so lost!
