*Considers Big D's plot summary*

OMG, he's right! They're all like that! Most are anyway... The first few were more like "there's this bad guy, and uh.... yeah, go kill him with this group of random people". I'm guessing that soon we're gonna see the end of "a young man with funny looking hair and a big-ass sword and his rag-tag gang of hooligans must fight a spooky man with a mysterious past and a dark secret involving the guy with the big phallic symbol sword". I hope we see a new direction soon. Final Fantasy doesn't seem to contain much of the elements that comprise "fantasy" anymore.... Well okay, I shouldn't talk 'cause FF9 did, and I haven't played FF10, and FF11 is basically a PS2 MMORPG version of FF1.....
