Final Fantasy :P
Growing up its portrayal of Fantasy and breadth of cast felt ground breaking and bold. Now it feel relatively cliche. Playing through VII Rebirth it feels cheesy and a fair bit too anime-esque to carry the same prestige that made Franchise what it was in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Squares approach is lowkey reflected in how they subtly redesigned Yuna & tidus in the FFX Remasters. The top images reflect the original vision, the bottom are later more generic, less tangible characterisations. I loved FFXVI BTW but yeah it was one of the more generic entries, just think the series needs a whole rethought and restarted naming convention.
