Well, the games keep selling a lot, even if not as much as other IPs and they have a huge following, enough to keep vesting AAA budget

While they might be concerned with sales I don't think they have reached a point they should step back form doing what they want just yet, their games sell well enough and are still very liked 

I don't think Square have ever issued a mainline FF game (sequels and spin offs are different) that scored bellow 80s. Even XV who suffered devopment hell and is arguably one of the most hated entries still sold 10 million

While FF seems to receive much stronger criticism than other IPs I believe this is just because people have their own expectations of what an FF game should be or look but keep coming back to the franchise, while in other franchises if you don't like an entry you don't have many reasons to comeback, as the sequel is likely to be similar. 

Here's what's happening with FF we've had a linear disappointment in the XIII games to a MMO that required two attempts to get off the ground to a very bland open world game to now a DMC lite title. It feels like a roulette of trends it would be better if some of these were new IPs. 

Seriously do do you even played them ? Or are you just quoting some cliché found on the internet ? 

It's okay to hate if you can't played them tho even if it's childish behaviour.
