The only people who are like "FF pwns everything" are either A never played much rpgs or/and B Never played much FF rpgs. 2 - There are many bad ff games 3 - and many rpgs are better than the best FFs, so I don't think we should even not their statements about where rpgs will go. Edit: ALso its not even the highest selling rpg. I.E pokemon, various wrpgs, even some series like dragon quest and kh(kinda like a spinoff of FF) could compete. |
1 - I think that is a naive statement. I'm a huge JRPG fan. I still think Final Fantasy 'pwns' everything and:
A) I've played many, many rpgs (likely more than you simply due to age - really don't mean this in a condescending way) and is pretty much the only genre I love; and
B) I've played every Final Fantasy game.
2 - 'There are many bad FF games'? Name the ones that are generally considered 'bad'.
3 - There are MANY rpgs that are better than IV, VI, X? I don't mean to sound rude, but I didn't know this was so well known.
While some Final Fantasy's may be overrated, and some of its fans crazed, does not degrade the quality of the series whatsoever. Personally, there has been no other series of games that I look forward to most and play the most.
Of all of the other JRPG's that I've played, the one's that I find come close to some FF's are Xenogears, DQXIII and Lufia 1&2 and maybe BoF2. I hope I'm not coming off as a jerk here, but I just don't understand all of the slights against FF lately. I suppose it's true when they say it's easiest to attack something that is very successful (MS, Ipod, etc.).
