...you have no faith in the company but haven't played any of the games they have released? Uhm. ._. What?

I would take people a lot more seriously about their dislike of FFXIII if they weren't just going "OMG EVERYTHING IS BAD NOT ONE THING IS GOOD IT'S ALL BAD" when that is on par with me when FFX got released. With retrospect I've been able to concede that it has it's good points. People who say "EVERYTHING SUCKS ABOUT THIS GAME" are not worth taking seriously, and it's mostly just a vocal few at EoFF that do this - well, of those that have actually played the games.

Crisis Core is almost universally liked, FFXIII-2 got excellent reviews despite it's awful ending. Lightning Returns had it's up and downs, but it showed that SE is certainly not running out of ideas (as did FFXIII-2). FFXIV has been revived and is now winning awards and getting touted as one of the greatest comebacks in gaming history. The series is so far from bad. It's just bad in the eyes of some people, and they happen to get pretty angsty and vocal about it because they loved the FFI-VI days more than the VII-XIII days. And if that's their bag, so be it, but I'm a little tired of the repeated claim that few people liked FFXIII when actually that's entirely untrue and some people just refuse to admit that actually, quite a lot of people liked it.
