Take this out of context, and Kanno's personal life seems so much more interesting...
This is unfortunately true.I feel the same way, its like what they were doing with FFX as well. Yet I feel FF is accepted as a whole by the gaming community, its anything that doesn't have FF in the title that's out on the ropes. The appeal of rpgs have dwindled but I feel FF has taken a place as a core title much like MGS, Gran Turismo, Madden, and Mario. Its become the causal crowd's "choice" for the RPG.
