It's good to see a lot of people agreeing.

As for all the ports of older games, I don't mind, but that's probably because the latest FF games have deviated from the original formula so much that it's good to still be able to buy classic FF style games in stores (even if they are just enhanced ports with bonus dungeons).

Another (good) point that GameFAQs members bring up, do you think that the new modern FF games have deviated from the original formula too much that they're alienating old fans? Maybe that's contributing to the "too much Lightning and FFXIII" feeling.

I haven't played any of the newer mainstream FF games (I stopped after VII since I couldn't find FFVIII and IX, and I don't own any consoles (or strong enough computers) to play FFX and onward) so I can't really talk from experience.
