IMHO
The series started to go wrong when it arrived on the Playstation, got worse on PS2 and then FFXIII is the pinacle of wrong decisions in a videogame.
FFVII, even though is an excellent game, it started the downfall of the series with the "standards" it set up with the use of FMV and cutscenes and the storyline. I started to have doubts when I played VIII and IX, because of the less focus on non game elements and more on movie ones.
FFX was, in my opinion, the worst FF game I played, because I expected more of the game after playing from I to IX. There was no overworld, little exploration, many cutscenes and heavy character development. I was so mad I lost faith in the series as a whole. I wont touch either FFXII nor FFXIII because I see more of the same I don't like.
The biggest problem of the series lies with the direction they are taking. More like CG movie developers and less Game developers with the high standards on graphics. Because if they want to go back to true RPG elements they will face a problem because the game might look worse than FFXIII if it goes to PS3.
maybe that promise will be fulfilled with FFXV on PS4. when it has an architecture similar to a HP proliant server with dual video cards :P
