Games that ruined entire franchises

[Nem]

I totally disagree with NG3 if you include razors edge. It wasn't the pinnacle of the series, but it was pretty decent.

NG3 vanilla and NGZ were bad though.

Also, i don't think the series is dead. We know NG4 is in development. They said so in interviews when promoting NGZ.
Just... who knows when its coming out...


Lots of FF's broke my heart. FF8 in particular. After the excellent FF7, with wich i experienced what is arguiably the pinnacle of the series...what was this junction BS that incentivates you to draw all day and not use magic so you get high stats? What is this BS about everyone beeing in the same orphanage and no one remembering? These teenagers aren't 50!
It was the tumble of the series. It never managed to hit the same level as 7 ever again. 9 and 10 were ok, but not awesome. The rest... even worse.
Well at least there was FFTactics... the one... with no sequal and on that note FFTA2!
