up until recently id argue that FF isnt really milked - every game is completly new, people should look beyond the numbers and try playing them, now they are all spawning rehashes im not so sure

id say the dynasty warrior series, the games dont actually ever improve, and the historical content that made them interesting has been pissed up the wall

Any EA sports game. Only overhauled once every three years. The other two years are just cash ins where the game is only slightly improved and new names are entered.

Even if some of the games are different and new, that's still milkage of the FF name.

Sonic, he's trying to do a Mario, but whilst most of Mario's spinoffs are good all of Sonics suck.

Oh, right... didn't think of it that way. Well good thing I started getting into the series after all of that stuff was released. I would have been pissed if not.

Guys come one its so the madden games.. Between each year they have little to no real improvements..

True there are alot of mario games, but for the most part they are hugely different from one another..

I'd have to be Mario hands down.

Mario has a soccer, racing, platform, RPG, fighting, etc games. People will buy anything as long as Mario is on the cover. You can't hate on it though. Milking that money.

I never really thought about that either till now.

Are you saying you don't like the game because of the name?

The answer is obviously Mario. Mario platformers... awesome! Mario RPGs... decent. Mario anything else... meh.

Honorable mentions go to Final Fantasy, Sonic and Madden.

I still don't understand how people can say FF is being milked.. When their systems are radically changed, and stories except for a select few are completely different.. Both Final Fantasy 12 and Crisis core are completely systems.. And Final Fantasy 13 is another completely new system.. Is it just the name that is bothering you guys?

In terms of game releases: Mario and Final fantasy.

In terms of merchandise: Probably Halo.

Mario, Final Fantasy and Sonic are the usual ones. But Capcom is milking Resident Evil way too much these days, even more than Street Fighter

no there's just way too many of them.
