Off this debate between 2D Mario vs. 3D Mario...

I think someone should tell SqE to make a new 2D Final Fantasy game on a Nintendo console again :P

So that it will sell less than 3 mil WW? :D

Hey 2.5 mil WW is better than less than less than 2 mil!

Plus 2D FF games were on a sales rise, whereas 3D are in decline... ;)

Yet the least selling 3D FF sold more than 5m WW!

Hurrah!

But 3D FFs costs muuuuuch more and needs more time to develop. If a 2D FF can sell 2mil and an expensive 3D FF can sell 5mil, Square Enix will probably have more profit with the 2D game depending of the price because they can make 3 2D games instead of 1 3D game.

I don't see your point..

And who promises that going back into 2D won't result in a backlash from fans?

Or that going 2D won't bring the series into a faster decline?

I was giving you some kind of logic. You are giving me assumptions, not arguments.

Dude, I understand your point, but what i'm trying to say here that going back into 2D will not stop the decline, but only, at best, slow it down, and even that's only after alienating almost everyone in the west fanbase, these titles may still make SE more money, but the series will still go into decline, if the only thing that you change between the games is the graphic engine.

In my opinion, in order to stop the decline, new FF games need to have better plots, as many pepole have left the series simply because they don't like the story anymore, and, the most important change - the battle system, the series is in a decline because they keep changing the system that made the fans love the series in the first place, pepole don't want whatever 13 has, pepole don't want the MMO gameplay of 12, and pepole don't want MMOs like 11/14, pepole want ATB/CTB gameplay, with a little something different, like 10 and 7.
