I almost agree. My all-time favorite FF is actually FFXII, which was under the new Square Enix banner, but every other title since then has been a steady decline for me. OG Square was definitely better.

To be fair I haven't given FF12 a proper try. It released as I was making the switch from PS2 to Xbox. I was switching because my PS2 broke (again), so while a new FF game usually would've been a day 1 purchase for me, not having a working console to play it on changed that.

The MMO style combat does kind of put me off although I did buy it in a Steam sale a little while back, so it's on my to play list at some point.

I really don't enjoy MMOs, mostly due to the lack of immersion in combat, which is kind of a big deal since fighting makes up the majority of most games. I've tried all the major ones but could never get into them at all. As I mentioned, I found FFXIIs combat to be a great compromise between older systems and more modern ones.

I'm not against progress, or change, but I don't like it when something completely disrespects its roots and turns into something different entirely. Or when developers give us something no one really asked for (Diablo: Immortal and Anthem spring to mind).
