Because a Final Fantasy grand strategy game does not exist.
I volunteer my head for Wolf's Blunt object. Personally I feel the brain damage may help me forget that a person posted that.
I think new releases rejuvenate interest in the series and re contextualize older releases; but these days, it seems like even the spinoffs have slowed down. XIII sequels and FFXIV just don't do it for me either.
And yes, we've sorely missed our devil's advocate, Socratic gadfly, or whatever titles you've rightfully reclaimed upon your return.
The simple answer is that we've not been given much to talk about. Final Fantasy XIII has run its course, and XIV is just another MMORPG. Another "true" Final Fantasy (XV) looks to be years down the line, and frankly, I don't want to spoil anything about it for myself.
I made a couple of threads a few days ago before getting distracted with work. I've mainly stuck in the VIII board since it's the last FF title I played and is still fresh in my mind. I don't post too much in the other boards because I either haven't played the game, haven't played much of it or it's been too long since I remember. I'll probably be more active in the VII board by the end of April since I plan to review that on the 28th.
There's very little to say about the FFs that were. After beating VIII - X-2, I didn't really feel I had a reason to post in those threads anymore. I never played XI, don't intend to shell out a monthly tribute to play it and thus have no reason to post in the thread (XIV as well). I haven't beaten XII but I feel I've read all that I'm going to read of interest or at least it seems that no one posts anything anymore. I don't have a 360 or PS3 thus can't play XIII thus won't waste my money buying it or my time talking about it. However, I've been going against the grain with Final Fantasy XV, deciding I liked it enough that I may buy the system just to play it. Other than that, there's really very little to say about it at the moment and up until the game's actual release.
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.
No seriously people, I've been back for about a week and I've made close to 100 threads, you have no excuse.The least you could do is post in them.

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...
I'm glad you're back, but I haven't played an FF game in close to a year. The last two I was playing was FFIX and FFV. I remember where I am in both of those games, but I haven't had time to keep playing them since I have been so busy.
