Done With Final Fantasy

It's weird. FF12 was a fantastic game but it just wasn't 'Final Fantasy'. But what is Final Fantasy? Each one is different but it has it's stables. People say it needs to change and evolve but why does it need to do that? Is it not the gameplay/format of these games we love.

There is a reason FIFA, Madden and CoD sells millions each year. Basically they are the same game. FF doesn't need to reinvent itself or change, just needs a slightly different magic system and a new story with okay graphics and we'd all be happy.

Someone on this website said it best, along the lines of for some reason FF games (and 13 in particular) became about being the pinnacle of graphics and innovation when beforehand it had never been. This is why 13 failed and XV is taking so long.

Also, raah rah, not another FF thread. etc.

That somewhere along the line was FF7.  Massive budget, focus on style with giant swords and spikey hair, and the best graphics in videogame history.  Considering how much money that game made, it's pretty easy to see why they followed that path.

FF7 graphics weren't even close to the best of videogame history at the time.
