Why do people love to hate Final Fantasy ?

Onyxmeth and steamboatwillie are right.

And for the record, I'm one of the bitter old assholes who couldn't make the switch from the 2-D glory of FF6 to the 3-D cutscene snoozefest of FF7. The shock was so great I developed this horrible complex where I prefer all my RPGs, even new ones, in 2-D, or with ASCII graphics.  I can relate better to @ symbols than 3-D models now.

I think FF is still really good at what it does, I just don't like what it does anymore.

 

Lol, this was a great post to me.  There's always a part of me that wants to dislike every FF since vii (including that one) but somehow I can't quite resist following the series along for the ride, even though I'm a lot more blown away by what they were doing in their early games than by what they're doing now.

 

Reading your post was like reading a letter from that beligerent part of myself, so long repressed.
