I think SE has pretty unfairly raised the bar for JRPG's and are pretty much destroying the genre.

It's not that they are making great games anymore (or at least the FF games aren't great), it's that they have these insanely high budgets that other publishers can't match but SE can get away with because they know the FF name means several million units and a Cloud clone means another million units.

Why just because you don't think the FF's are great now?

the FACT is FF12's metacritic is as good as FF7

ALL FF games are AAA & are loved by millions & the franchise is still regarded as quality, so we can't say they are destroying the genre.

S-E are killing JRPG's in one way though......by not releasing FF13 quickly.....as once FF13 comes, JRPG fans will be on the HD consoles, allowing other JRPG's to also sell well, FF13 is a catalyst for the JRPG console movement, just like the other FF's were (FF7 & FF10)

Are you also going to tell me GTAIV is one of the greatest games of all time?  Sometimes critics just buy into the hype.
