I love Final Fantasy. I have played every game. Beaten every game including XI (Have nothing left to even do...) besides XIV... XIV was extremely pathetic in my opinion... Anyways I started this thread because I just can't fathom what has become of Final Fantasy.
While I am disappointed with FFXIII and its sequel.. I do not find them to be horrible games... They just do not have the FF feel to them. FFXIII-2, ok you can go where you want... But it's not an open world like all of the other FFs... It's disappointing. I know FFXI and FFXIV are open worlds, but they should have been called "FF Online." Back to FFXIII-2, a time travel system? Really? A time travel system that's like a Megaman stage select... wtf? i know FF1 and FF8 had time travel but it was at the end of the game... not like this ... lol.. I dunno... I'm sorry I feel this way I just.... By the way what happend to Versus XIII? We've only heard about that since.... 2005? Development hell?
If you notice... It takes them longer and longer to make a final fantasy game, yet they can make a crappy FF and 2 sequels... That aren't too good. I just don't understand the logic? Again, I hate to bash this company I love, but what the smurf are they thinking?
The real reason I think they won't make an FF7 remake is because they are afraid they'd smurf it up. Look at the trout they put out recently. I can't remember the last good game SE has put out. I did LOVE FFXII, but to me, lately I just feel the company is going down the tubes. My favorite FF games are FF4, FF6, FF7, FF8 and FF12... 7 being my favorite, I have played all of them as I've said. I seen another thread on another forum saying the demand has to stop for the FFVII remake. Why? Look at what they're giving us.
As you can tell I am a huge FF fan, but I'm just very disappointed at what SE is doing with this franchise. We need the open worlds back, the airships you fly, the crystals, and of course, that final fantasy atmosphere... I miss the good old days... I know all good things come to an end, but damn I hope Final Fantasy doesn't end this way...
