Is anyone sick of FF? poll

[QUOTE="LivingReceiver"]I hate FF, but thats because I was raised in western civilization and grew up around true americans and raised from my parents mexican heritage, so Ive been bred to HATE RPGS and thank God for that because RPGS SUCK, only people who will continue to buy that stupid FF crap and RPGS altogether are japs, are people who are in anyway slightly interested in japanese culture.greenleaf2000

Wow could this post be any worse.

FF is popular all over the world.

Over 70 mil sold.

Do people in the US actually think like that? I find that pretty disturbing, like some sort of god complex combined with an incredible amount of bigotry.

Anyhow, I agree that FF is an incredibly powerful brand, with a long history of making solid AAA JRPGs. Very inaccurately named though!

Also, the poll is flawed. it should read 'i like them', 'i never liked them', and 'i don't like them anymore'.

Well, I'd prefer if SE would develop a new original IP, instead of milking the hell out of the FF "brand".Erkidu

And thats why lost oddessy is comming out, and well blue dragon was kind of there but not so good.

Agreed. People like to spin Sakaguchi and Uematsu leaving SquareEnix as a good thing ("Sakaguchi was losing his touch, the games were getting old"), but when they were working on Final Fantasy, while all the games were different, they still had those touches that made them instantly recognizable. You could always hear Uematsu's great music playing in the background, and the games just felt like they all sprung from the same (Sakaguchi's) mind. Nowadays the thing that binds the FF series together is the fact that every game is populated by 50 or 60 girlyblonde characters (I don't mind effeminate looking male leads, but after a while it gets boring), the world is almost ridiculously ornate (this started with FFVIII) and each game is centered around a completely new type of gameplay that will probably never be used again, and may or may not be successful the first time. I applaud SquareEnix's willingness to change things up, and their production values on FF are fantastic, but they need to recognize that Final Fantasy was a series, and not just a bunch of unrelated games. People like at least a little bit of familiarity in their series, and SquareEnix has completely lost that.

Eh, I disagree. What the games did have "in common" were things like crystals and similar combat systems (with conservative changes each iteration). Certainly there were some nice touches to the story and presentation (amazing what they did w/ FFVI on the SNES, for example), but at the same time they felt too similar and too old-school to really evolve the series much beyond the original FFI formula - kind of evident with Blue Dragon and what we've seen with Lost Odyssey.

Doing that for thirteen games straight would be more milkage, IMO, than what FF currently is. A lot of joy (besides the plot) that comes from a new FF game is discovering the intracacies of the new battle systems and how to build your character around the new rules; if FF was allowed to continue to be simply refined then it would have burned out on the SNES from the lack of innovation and "more of the same" while other RPG's excelled at bringing new ideas to the table. I hate to use BD and LO as examples, but how many people are genuinely excited about the battle systems in these two games versus that of say, FFXIII?

I love final Fatasy Because all the games are diffent have great stories
