Why people are still here, as in EoFF? The community here is what brings people back, not FF.


But in answer to your question, although I don't fit your mould of being jaded (I am not jaded at all with the series) and less nostalgic (I was properly introduced with FFX, so my nostalgia isn't far reaching), I think FF is super fun and I keep playing them and coming back to them because I enjoy them. Cliched stories and typical character archetypes and all.
