The Ghost of RubangB on 24 February 2009
The last good FF, in my humbly correct opinion, was 15 years ago, in 1994. It was FF6.
The last Square games I played were FF4DS, which was amazing, and The World Ends With You, which was horrible. I just don't think they have the magic anymore. They can't make good new stories. Now their only areas of expertise are graphics, cut scenes, and hype. So it's no surprise that they make good remakes, because they just make them prettier. But they can't make good new games... because making things shiny and pretty is all they're good at and/or all they care about.
I'd rather play ASCII RPGs, which without graphics actually had to rely on gameplay and story. Luckily there are tons of ASCII games I can play for free.
