I'm essentially a fan of Sakaguchi's FF as well as the FF's from the Kitase/Nomura/Nojima/Toriyama/Hamaguchi team. I love almost everything they've done in FF.


FF13 and FF15 suffered greatly from their engine problems. But I still like the general style and their basic concepts.


On the other hand, we have Matsuno (Tactics and FF12) and Yoshida (FF14 and FF16). Unfortunately, their games don't appeal to me at all. The bright colors are missing. The humor is missing. I also miss characters to fall in love with. A general Japanese feeling is missing. It feels very inspired by western trends and MMOs. Which isn't surprising since Matsuno's FF12 used the FF11 engine and Yoshida is of course the MMO guru. But it bores me.
