Final Fantasy XIII-2 was a step in the right direction. They finally found the "fun" factor which had been missing since IX. If they can just keep that factor, and put it to use in a better game in general, then they could save Final Fantasy. Eventually this would lead to a remake of Final Fantasy VII.
Square really needs to get some new talent though. Either some new talent, or some old with Sakaguchi. The current talent needs to be replaced either way.
