You claim that SE are milking the FF cow to the extreme, well so are Nintendo with their games (to a much, much worse degree) but people still buy those games also...

As long as people keep buying them, they will be made! I personally loved FFVIII and X so would disagree that the series should have been stopped with the faaaar over-rated VII!


Agreed. My only issue with SE "milking the franchise" is that they keep doing remakes. I wouldn't mind remakes of FF7 onwards, BUT when they keep remaking I, II, IV, V and VI it becomes excessive, it's gotten so bad that I don't even want to buy the re-releases (except VI on the DS). What's the point if the remade "definitive" version isn't going to be that because you know there'll be a remake down the track.


You don't make sense CAL4M1TY; you say you wouldn't mind remakes of FFVII and onwards, but why the hell would you rather have remakes of PSX and PS2 FF's instead of NES and SNES FF's? They whole point of remakes is bringing something from the past back to life, and those NES ands SNES rpgs are much more from the past than those Playstation rpgs that we have 'just' played. I got the feeling, when I read your post, that you actually haven't even played those older FF's, and that makes your comment even more strange, 'cause you should rather want those game remade than the FF's we just played a couple of years ago. It's like rather wanting a remake of Dragon Quest VII instead of IV or V.. strange.. plus you're actually completely wrong when you say that they keep remaking those old FF's 'cause you confuse re-releases with remakes.. which are something else.. and calling FFVII faaaaaaar over-rated Squall is just crazy; the Japanese love it (look at the Famitsu readers poll of their greatest games over the last years), the GameFAQs members love it (this biggest gaming community choose it as their greatest game off all time), and GameSpot listed it is as one of their greatest games of all time; what does that say? you will probably say not much, but If you're right many and that's really many gamers just don't get it at all do they, from the east to the west, from the north to the south.. but you of course, do get it.. sure.

 

You should really start paragraphing :x

 Anyway, what he's saying is that Square just keep making new remakes of all the old Final Fantasys a few years later, so when you've playedthe first remake, suddenly a new one comes along.

 

And to be honest, the only thing you've proven is that FF7 is highly praised. You haven't proven anything that suggests that it isn't overrated. The point about something being overrated is that it gets lots of praise and love even though it really doesn't deserve that much attention.
