Square have also indicated recently that they have no idea what makes a good game. The listed the top 5 things they think make a great FF game. Good Story and good characters were not in the list. Final Fantasy is dead to me.

I would be interested in seeing that list, have you got a link to it?

In fairness to Square Enix, I know FF13 was not good, but in fairness to them From Software (Dark Souls) dosent focus on story or characters either. Although even in those aspects it trumps FF13.
