SE years ago switched form being quality focused to profit and just started pumping out game after game and just slapping their brand name titles on them to try make them sell no matter the game quality or if it really had anything to do with the title. I don't know if this was when the companys merged or when it exactly happen but it did and the company has been hurt by it ever since.

I don't know, I think each game is good in its own right but I have seen a decline from title to title over the years. But I do agree that I think they do more riding of the name/brand than they do of producing a quality product. Like FFXII is my example... I dislike it, I find it to have no redeeming qualities after Balthier.


dont forget their dragonquest/warrior crap they started putting out. Should i remind about dragon quest:swords for the wii....

Stop... The memories... I suppressed them...

I played it for an hour... I then never touched it again.. Turns out someone stole it from me.. I never looked back. As a matter of fact, I felt bad for them for stealing such a piece of ****

Wait, wait. XIII's sidekick was a Dragoon? Did I miss something here? If you mean Fang, I'm not if I can agree to that...

FF15 is gonna need a bald space marine to make up for most of these. He'll communicate only in grunts and one-liners.

It should be listed in the offensive material category.

Sadly if SE came out with a challenging game people would Q.Q

I'd say next year they make Final Fantasy XX Insert disc , show 3 CS movies and your done. be a epic sales game.

I think overhauling the battle menu was one big mistake for SE as it is what makes it feel like a FF game, the typical

Attack >
Magic >
Abilities >
Summon >
Item >

Or something like that, FFXIII almost had the battle menu back but then they went and made combat too fast so it was better just to use auto battle and switch paradigms where neccessary so battles just became a dull farce.

Also the story always used to follow a concept, you had a hero who was awesome, then about halfway through the game they would have a massive revelation but would keep going and in the end save the world.
Spoiler Alert! Click to view.

But long story short, FF stories nowadays lack the surprising twists, the elements that want you to keep playing.

Tried Rings of Fate and Echoes of Time on DS but was nothing special to me. Played Crystal Bearers for Wii and it's a fun game, may not be the best thing ever, but it's ok. Last but not least I've played My Life as a Darklord: superfun!(but not meant for people that panic easily).

FF13 > Nothing, no interesting additions to the plot unless you count Fang and Vanille being from Gran Pulse and being the ones who attacked Cocoon before.

The fact that you had been being manipulated by Barthandelus/the Sanctum Fal'Cie all along and how they want Cocoon destroyed doesn't count as a revelation?

EDIT: Not to mention later it turns out all the stuff about Focus and stuff is essentially a farce.
