What if the game is actually good though? Hypothetically of course.

 

Apparently, he has already determined it to be a bad game. You know, not having played it of course. But he knows...

 

Just like people can assume it will be a good game, I can assume it will be a bad game until proven otherwise.

• The main character is described as being Cloud but a chick -- nothing says sellout more except...
• They are already planning ten years of spinoffs -- tells you they are interested in nothing other than cash.  Rather than giving us a memorable story or interesting characters, they're just giving us a female Cloud and hope that keeps people interested.
• The game has had delay after delay after delay -- It's not completely unorderinary for a game to have a delay, most do, but this one has had delay after delay after delay.  It could be for the better, but it could also be because the game is one giant clusterfuck
• They care more about how the game looks than anything else -- Unless I'm mistaken (and I could be) just about everything told to us has been about eye candy or future spinoffs.  I don't play Final Fantasy games for eye candy, I play them for interesting characters and a good story.
• The last few games have been bad, why would this one be good?  They could always pull a FFIX on us but you can't really expect anomalies.

 

I see now where our differing views on the ff main series comes in. IMO, FFIX was the worst one in the series that I've played and that was supposed to be the retro FF. This is why I usually assume that I won't like the FFs before FFvii. FFVIII was my first FF though not FFVII.
