I can agree that that Vaan and Tidus are a bit wussis. But calling Cloud and Squall emos, sir you have gone to far. FF8 may have sucked but Squall must be the coolest character of them all. I still believe that the reason you hate the newer FF games is your bias against Sony and it does dont matter if you like FFIX^^.
So, I bought a PSone, PS2, and PSP because I hate Sony? I must hate Nintendo, Sega, Atari, and Microsoft too because I own their consoles as well...
The reason I dislike Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X, and XII is because they are not the same style of game that FFI-VI and IX are. There are a lot of people who have been playing Final Fantasy since long before FFVII was released you know. The old Final Fantasy games were Fantasy RPGs. They had a very specific style, and rather than continue with that style FFVII rewrote it entirely. That annoyed me. Final Fantasy IX returned to that old school style, and that's why I like it. X and XII though tossed it out again...
I'm sorry that people have different opinions than you, but it has nothing to do with the console, it has to do with the style of the games. There are a lot of former FF fans who agree with me about the change made by FFVII being bad. Just as there are a bunch of Metroid fans who dislike Metroid Prime. You are never going to get everyone in the world to agree with you...
