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)

Also, regardless of quality, my point still stands about SE and other games with infinite budgets-- they set the bar rediculously high so that anyone that doesn't have an infinite budget just can't match them and are already considered inferior before they're even released based on nothing other than lack of advertising and it's not as pretty.
