We Final Fantasy fans are a curious bunch. There's just as many of us who think the series has long since lost its luster as there are hopeful for the future. It really comes as no surprise, considering the circumstances surrounding the next numbered entry. Final Fantasy XV has undergone a change in name, graphical engine, director, gameplay, and heroine over the course of its nearly ten-year development cycle. None of that bodes well for the franchise, especially considering the notoriety of the Fabula Nova Chrystalis series, or even for the genre, as Tabata has stated that FFXV doing poorly may spell the end of console JRPGs.
However, there are those who remain ever hopeful. Bah, not just hopeful - excited even, as the promise of greatness that FFXV undoubtedly carries is enough for them to overlook the rocky development cycle. Their names are:
Bubba
DMKA
Freya
Fynn
Loony BoB
Shiva95
Wolf Kanno
Whoever wins, their stance is admirable. They believe that there is light within the darkness, and that even if it's only a tiny flicker, it's worth to strive for it. And if that isn't what Finak Fantasy is all about, then I'll eat me shoe
