@BassMan: I actually can imagine a Square Enix executive saying that.

@BassMan: Better be.

Tell me this is fake.

Because if it's not they're completely dead to me.

@-paranorman-: Meh. I personally didn't like FFIV. I don't know. It felt odd. It was just an irrational "meh". Not saying it's bad though.

Just to tell you how much FF gets at my education centre people in my class often go "If you get a 10/10, I play Final Fantasy XIII-2"

It's f'ing hilarious.

@BranKetra: According to the dictionary "reputation or influence arising from success, achievement, rank, orother favorable attributes."

According to myself "Relevance due to a chain of positive events"

@AQWBlaZer91 Ha. Coming from Square Enix I can perfectly believe that. They rely on the franchise more than the game. I however can't really say that's true for sure. But if someone told me, I wouldn't really question it much.

@BranKetra: According to the dictionary "easily deceived or cheated"

According to myself "Easy to fool"

@srebmunahcnub: @garywood69: @acp_45: You think I don't know that?

The vast majority of people think of Square Enix when they think of Deus Ex HR, despite how other 3 companies (counting besides SE and Eidos) were involved in the creation of it.

I never minded Deus Ex.

@AQWBlaZer91 Final Fantasy was a good franchise, the only think I despise SE for is for not having the balls to admit they EFFed up when making Final Fantasy 13 and the two that follow.

Actually they did make little commentary about 13. But if someone has any video of SE admitting failure regarding XIII-2 and LR:FF13 please send it to me.

@so_hai I'm partially comparing how they release games. SE is much better than EA. What I'm saying is that both companies, and before replying mark when I say IN MY OPINION milk their customers off a famous and overrated franchise.

@Assassin_87, @BranKetra After replying to many of BranKetra's posts I think I put clear the fact that I consider:

In my opinion :: A minority of the FF fanbase blindly follows any FF games and buys it because of its franchise and not its storyline, gameplay, mechanics or any other aspects. This obviously excluding collectors (which I still don't get why buy games if they're bad) and people who have a VALID reason as to why buy the game. I call people who simply buy a game by its franchise title gullible. That is my opinion, may not be exact or precise but it is and it stays.

@garywood69The Resident Evil franchise is a case apart that would need more discussion. I'd like to make this thread abide to the franchise mentioned. I however keep the point that people buy games because of its franchise in many, many ocassions.

@srebmunahcnub I find perfectly fine to like a game despise its horrible rating. I liked Call Of Duty Ghosts.

I am a person that, because of the fact I write my own fiction stories (literature) I honestly like a good game with a good storyline. And after seeing how SE brought me good games like The World Ends With You (mention because it's an RPG) I had my hopes up for a Final Fantasy game that, being in this generation (Because FF13 has very good graphics) was supposed to be good (specially because of its 5 years development).

They let me down.

@matt2790: I personally like Yu-Gi-Oh, but the anime is pointless.

However, beyond the Turn Based Combat FF uses, I'm talking about something that bugs me much more.

The setting. Final Fantasy has very, very good plot at the start (FF13 Ex: To opposite civilizations who hate each other, each of them different bla bla bla). Alright. Good plot.

Shame is that they RUIN it in less than 3-5 hours of Gameplay.

@Aljosa23:

I'd like to point out this guy has a FF pic as his avatar. Just an observation.

And also no, this is no troll thread.
