Maybe that's why I felt so ripped off after beating FF13. They only gave me one disk!!

Epic!

 

Still, I loved XIII.

Of course it had little in common with old time rpgs. But I was open to the new experience and I enjoyed it.

People need to enjoy what they are offered for what it is and not bitch around for what it isn't.

How can you just accept the mediocrity from a series that has up till this point released masterpiece after masterpiece?

Mediocrity is relative, we all know that. Square Enix is free to do what they want with their OP and the public is free to react to that the way they feel. Keep in mind that audiences are complex "entities" and though lots of fans disliked the game, many other loved it. As far as I know the game didn't sell bad at all, regardless of bad critics and fanboys whining like babies. But pretending Final Fantasy series not to try new things is something weird.
The game failed to reach universal claim and I think that's something that won't happen ever again to a Final Fantasy game. Expectations are ridiculously high each and every time and people love to bash old glories as much as adolescents love pointing out their parents flaws. It makes them feel they are somehow more important.
