Did the Xbox 360 indirectly damage the Final Fantasy brand?

that's a ridiculous notion. FF10-X2 is were the death of the franchise started, and FF13 finished it.

13-2 has allot of redeeming qualities, but fails on so many levels. i hated the demo. everything was just happening and you really had no control over gameplay, or the characters being used.

disagree if you must, but FF 13-2 was poorly done. square enix is the problem. the franchise obviously has no direction. it's like their attempting to make a game out of a bunch of broken ideas, instead of grounding the ideas into a more solid form.

i'll get FF13-2 when's $10 or less. it's simply not worth more then that.

go back to FF7 and 10 then you'll see wht you did wrong, in FF13(my message to square) 

Exactly. Ever since Hironobu Sakaguchi left Square Enix, the companies ability to make a good JRPG has crashed.

No really, remember how many great SNES and PS1 JRPG's there were? Valkyrie Profile, Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy 4-9, Final Fantasy Tactics, Front Mission 1-3, Chrono Trigger and Cross, XenoGears, Grandia, Vagrant Story, etc? Ps2 had a good bunch as well, but only because most of them were PS1 sequals. Squares 360/PS3 JRPG venture has been a big disappointment, while Mistwalker is still capable of producing good/great JRPG's (Lost Odyssey and The Last Story being great).

srry i had no idea what a genre was back then. i've been so deprived but from what i here you're spot on.

ssrry, i'm use to agreeing and disagreeing with you. this one way street thing doesn't look good on my resume.
