Interesting. Most of us agree that SE lost the plot a few years ago and became too arrogant to help themselves but the way this video comes off is very pretentious. That doesn't mean I disagree with all of what he said, but he talks as if he is the only one who has realised that SE has been having direction and priority issues and 'this is why you're all stupid because of it'.

A few things did stand out though.

I disagree that SE should just be more "normal", I mean, why? SE have changed gameplay of most of the FF since the introduction of the ATB, not all decisions turned out great, but I do appreciate the different styles. I think SE should make whatever crazy world they want, just not be arrogant when things don't turn out so hot and be willing to adjust accordingly.

Also, I like the larger than life character designs, and its not a 'flaw' of SE/Nomura as much as it is a personal preference. If you don't like it, that's fine and I wouldn't try to tell you why you should like them. I don't like all of them, but I don't see an issue here, if i'm honest.
Jim's main issue is remembering the characters, well, I haven't had that issue.. but then I follow and care about the franchise more than him by the sounds of it, so...

I do agree that following more recent FF plots can be a difficult task, it can get pretty nuts, but I also read books with confusing plots as well. So again... i'm not really sure that this is a 'problem' as much as it is some people, well, not caring enough to figure it out. And thats cool.
Poor writing does exist in the franchise, sure, but it's kind of ridiculous to say that the writing sucks just because I don't get it or care to understand.

The above post focuses on FF since that was more of less the focus of his video. Oh, and the evil villain laugh at the end, classic!

And for the record, I like Jim's honesty, he cares about the industry and I do to, but I think the expression 'mountain out of mole hills' is applicable here.
