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.).

I used to think FF pwn'd everything, but my tastes changed. I prefer a shorter game with more gameplay. As far as production values go, FF still pwns everything (Remember I didn't love IX or X and disliked XII).
Tales of Vespara and WKS look like they may trump FF as far as production values.
FFIV and VI are 2 of my favorite games.
Breath of Fire is not overrated, it is endeared by a moderately sized group of fans. I am not one of them, but I think a new one has potential to be successful on DS and maybe on Wii.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
