Well, Rase, you have to admit it's a little unfair to blame Nomura since you admittedly liked XII (which he had nothing to do with) and XI and XIV are essentially online re-imaginings of the first four games by senior Square staff who created the franchise. While the extent of his responsibility for XIII is debatable, I'll admit that's definitely more in his influence.

It seems like you have more of a problem with where the series went as opposed to where it is today.
