I love EVERY game in the series. Even the shitty ones that no one liked (X-2 and Dirge). There's just something about the Final Fantasy style.

I'm extremely happy to say that FXIII not only met my expectations, but completely shattered them. The game is easily the best RPG so far this generation.

So what has the series done that makes it so powerful?

Franchises like Tomb Raider & Sonic that were held on the same high level declined heavily in sales over time, what made FF stay so high according to you?

None of those series bring the amount of innovation that Final Fantasy does imo.

Final Fantasy games literally change themselves with almost every new installment. I know for a fact that's what sucked me in. Every game is set in an enitrely new world, with a fresh story, characters and villains. The battle system has also changed in every single game, but the last three games have completely re-done that too. What other series can claim this?

The games ussually tell the classic story of human beings breaking free from the shackles of higher forces. But the way in which they tell this story is abolutley phenomenal. There are also constants: Chocobo's, Cid, Cactuars, etc., Things that will forever be associated with the series.

That is a good reason!
