Don't get your hopes up too high. 4 and 6 are amazing, but it's all downhill from there.

You serious? True I thought 7 was somewhat overrated, but I loved 8, although the customization with the GF's would scare non-true rpg'ers, it was a well madle game with excellent gameplay and a good story. 9 took FF back to its roots, although I found the story somewhat ok. 10 had a VERY good story, although the linearity (to a small extent), the lack of a real world map killed it a little for me, but going for the ultimate weapons and unlocking them, as well as the battle system with the tactical switch in and outs was very fun. So no, after 6 the series didn't go truly downhill. Furthermore for a non numbered FF, Crisis Core was an excellent game in terms of story and gameplay.

To be honest, I thought 7 was so bad I turned it off within the first hour or two, and gave up on the series right then and there.  I couldn't stand the new direction.  Now I'm so old and grizzled and jaded when it comes to RPGs that the only ones I really like are the Mario & Luigi games with battle systems all about action and timing, and no really long FMVs.

But I did like FFIV: The After Years, and I did play a ton of Blitzball at a friend's house on his FFX game.  Now the only traditional JRPG I'm looking forward to is FF Gaiden.

I'm one of those guys.

So you think the series has gone downhill since FF6 but yet you haven't played any FF since FF7?

So you're one of those guys.
