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.

I can look at the box, look at the commercials, look at the ads in magazines or online, watch the intro cutscenes on YouTube, and read all about them, and then decide that it's not really something I want to play, let alone dump 30-50 hours into, let alone pay for.

I hope you're not expecting me to play every game in the universe before I form my elitist jerk opinions about them, are you?

But let me rephrase it... FF7 killed the series in my opinion, and then The Spirits Within put it in a coffin and launched it into the sun.


But you're wrong, and making poor assumptions about games you've never played. FFIX is especially more attuned to the classic style than even FFVI, which is arguably closer to FFVII than it is FFIV, as it was the beginning of Final Fantasy removing the actual "fantasy" aspect. 

How am I wrong?  Are you telling me that I subconsciously want to dump money and huge chunks of time into games I have no interest in, but won't admit it to myself?  I even threw in a "in my opinion," so what I was saying is that, in my opinion, I don't want to play them.  I don't think there's any room for wrong-ness in there.  My alibi is airtight.
