"If that view of Final Fantasy isn’t fulfilled, then they’re convinced that it’s bad for Final Fantasy."

Sums up exactly what happens in almost every FF related topic. This thread included.

In a general sense, I really appreciate the flexible nature of FF. It makes it what it is.

Yep, I say this every time if FF XIII had a different name, lets say it was called "Lightning and a buncch of friends go on an adventure" it wouldn't have 1/10th of the haters it has. XIII and specialy XIII-2 are very solid games, they have their flaws but heck they are well put together games that anyone with an open mind can enjoy quite a bit. But its too different from this idealized version of Final Fantasy, wich I believe is somethign very similar to FFVI and/or VII. Even FF VIII, X and XII get lots of flack for being "not Final Fantasy" enought.

Whenever I play a new FF I face it as a completly different game, forget everythign about the others and enjoy the moment. OF course some ppl willprefer this one or that one, but I have a realy ahrd time understanding why most gamers has this ideal version of what FF should be when every entry is its own thing and changes completly from what came before troughout the history of the series.

Pretty much. If you want to be difficult then yeah... you got 2 dodge buttons and a change weapon button. Alas 90% of the time is spent holding the button down, so i don't know what youre getting touchy about. The truth is the truth.

Touchy? How? They still havent shown off most team attacks, and party AI to the full exent. Plus Noctis' special moves by himself. Different weapons have different abilities as well. Then you also get summons and magic. So there is a lot more then meets the eye. 

System has lots of similaritys to Kingdom Hearts. Its definetly not just holding a button. This is just the overall complaint from the ppl that cries over it not being turn based and that went nuts once they saw FFVII remake is probably not going to be turned based either.
