The Final Fantasy franchise has become such a joke

They're in business to try make money.
If they're making money milking all their fans, good for them.
I notice you only mentioned FF's on most Playstation systems, yet left out the handheld ones. Do you think the handheld versions are somehow immune from the point in your rant?

 

I haven't played the handheld ones (and I'm exclusing the Tactics because those are still good).

But yeah, Crisis Core is just another FFVII spinoff and I don't give a shit about it.  I would rather have them spend the time and effort into making something better.

And you're right, they're going to do what makes them money.  It's just sad all the Cloud fanboys will continue to eat this crap up because they are in fact tools.

Oh, and I stopped at FFVII because that's when the Final Fantasy franchise turned to shit.  They realized they could stop putting effort into story and character development and focus purely on making the game look good.  Well, that and somehow copying Cloud and Sephiroth.  Having anything that resembles Cloud or Sephiroth automatically adds 1 million to the sells.

I can definately see your point and to some large degree agree with it,

But yeah - It's just business.

and I agree 100% with with you with their reliance on graphics over gameplay. Tactics was pure awesome. That said though, I really enjoyed XII. And no, I can't remember ever fapping to Sephiroth lol Now Tifa on the other hand...

 

EDIT: and yeah, Merry Christmas!
