That's a side note to add humor to this all too serious thread though. Honestly I'd like to see another 2D FF but only if they went all out with the graphics. This means every last character would be fully animated with insane resolutions and color depth. Fluid animation, beautiful spell graphics, higher detail than seen in any other 2D game to date, and more sprites on screen than can be handled on any previous console. I want THIS to happen, or it wouldn't be worth making it in 2D. What I'm getting at, in case I was being too vague (as usual) is that changing technology has nothing to do with stylistic changes. 2D is stylistically different from 3D. There's things you can't do in 3D and there's things you can't do in 2D. However, this is not the only change the FF games have undergone. The series is a lot more cinematic and introspective than it used to be. This started in FFVI (although I could see how someone could feel that it started in FFIV) and it's only gotten them more and more popular. I personally feel that FFXI might be a little more old school than FFIX, but I suppose I should play it first before I make a statement like that.
