Oh, good. I'm perfectly normal, then.

But why do I still like the old Final Fantasies?

Couldn' t have said it better myself Badgenome.

 

Well that's the thing too... weren't the SNES protaganists... older?

I mean it seemed that way anyway.

 

Yeah for the most part. In FFIV the whole cast were adults except for three party members and one of those three becomes and adult before the game ends. FFV and FFVI followed similiar trends with it's protagonists as well.

I have to send you a friend request after you post.

 

All in all it reminds me about that one quote about "Maturity".  Perhaps that's why the post 6 FFs have seemed so bad to most people who were playing 6.  They've just been targeted "downwards" from the important issues and philosophical questions... replaced with cliched twists and turns and high dramatics.

It's not that people have outgrown FF as a series.  It's just people outgrow the newer ones as they continue to target downwards.
