The last decade was bad for me as a ff fan. I really thought the franchise went to the dogs with FFX which was a step down from ff8/7, then ff11 which i cudn't get into, finally ff12 being horrible. KH2 wasn't as gud as KH1 either unfortunately.

I dnt know what went wrong in the last decade but for me the company that gave me ff7/8/9 just didn't exist. But now a new decade is here and ff13 has restored my faith in them. I went in expecting it to be worse than ff12, the characters looked bad, some nobody was making the soundtrack, the ffx-2 director was directing it, and it looked bad. But i was surprised by it as the characters went from cliched to i dunno they just surprised me throughout the game. The gameplay wasn't gimmicky but worked very well, it was hard but simple to use. The story was amazing, i got involved in the problems the characters faced.

I missed moogles, towns though. But I can say I am a square-enix fan now.

But can they deliver with FF14?

Nomura is making FF Versus 13 so that will definetely be good, Nomura is like kojima. But its XIV and then XV (if ff12 team makes it) that i'm worried about. I'm just happy to love my favorite company again.

Well, I can't hate people for having an opini-

Oh wait, yes I can.

Kidding aside, FF14 is an MMO, you probably won't like it.

And FFvXIII will be very similar to the KH series, I think KH2. Take that as you will.

FFXV will be a return back to form.

Why do you disagree with that?

FF14 is an MMO but they said its different from XI so i may like it. XIII is like X according to many but I prefer XIII much more over X, you can't generalize. Nomura delivers completely, i believe he had less involvement in KH2, thats why it wasn't as gud as the first.

FF12 is a bad game. the characters are boring, the story is stupid some crap about nemacite. the world is big but who cares i had no motivation to do anything in it. yes the hunts are good but lets not forget another bad thng the battle system is bad and very very boring. VA's were gud though. And its a very convinient excuse to pretend i didn't understand the story, the story in it sucked get over it. Not every ff is as good as u think it is.

You named 3 other square-enix games out of which 1 is a remake. 2 others were ok. thts not saying much, they had 10 years and they made 2 good games? And you and dtewi are generalising tastes, but its gud to hear FFXIII team is making FFXV.

Oh, I disagree because I despise FF8, like FFX, and absolutely LOOOVE KH2.

To each his own, I guess...

Oh, and at the bolded part, I was just generalizing to give you a big overview of the future of the series. Do what you want with the info.
