Just great...

The more I see of this game the less impressed I get. It feels like they put no effort into innovating the franchise (at least it does for now).


Innovation will kill a great franchise. Just look at what happened to Final Fantasy. You have to understand that not every game can be like Mario. 2d fighting games aren't really games that can be innovative.


Yeah, Words of Winston is right, FF games stopped innovating a long time and that's the very reason they're going downhill...


Oh, so the complete re-working of the entire battle system into real time wasn't innovation? They are going downhill because their storylines suck ass, and characters they make these days are so unbarably bland. Why should I play the next Final Finatasy when the Tales series is doing as well as it is? Or the Mana series? You'd think that when Square lost their stranglehold on RPG's they'd get their asses back into gear, but they haven't yet.


 TYhe battle system innovations have been fine, but do you really play FF games for that?  FFVI actually has terrible gameplay yet it's regarded by very many as one of the greatest games of all time.  Why is that?  Story, music, and characters, or, what a Final Fantasy game should be all about.

When I say that SE stopped innovating I don't mean they stopped trying on their gameplay, it's their rehashing of every character and story that has me not liking them anymore.
