I've been around this industry in one form or another since the NES was king, and I've seen some stuff. And one thing I'm confident about is FF16 becoming a beloved game ten or so years from now. For whatever reason (I believe I know why, but I'll save that for a later date), it's gotten the Dreamcast-Mario Sunshine-Wind Waker treatment online despite being a straight-up amazing game and one of the best mainline FFs, and someday, it'll get its due. And, much like the aforementioned, I'm proud to say I thought it was great in its time... because it is.

Dreamcast was liked even during its time. It just wasn't a PlayStation 2. Wind Waker didn't take a decade to be liked. It was mocked at Space World but once it came out those who did buy it loved it. I was one of them. Sunshine still sucks lol. FFXIII, FXV, FXVI do suck still. I know people want to feel special and be trendy and pretend some bad games are somehow underappreciated when no. They still are what they are.

We have totally different accounts of the past. I don't remember the Dreamcast ever being the console to own after the PS2 launched. I don't remember Wind Waker ever being liked. It was mocked as being too kiddy. For not living up to OOT and MM. Same with Double Dash, Sunshine... same for the whole system. The Gamecube was considered lame and for little kids until suddenly, those kids grew up and reclaimed it as some sort of second coming.

And you can keep claiming FF16 sucks. Like I said, I've been around. I've seen this before. And hey, if we're both around in twenty more years, you can even continue to claim it sucks. Fine by me. But you're going to pissed off, because I promise you, it's going to get the revisionism treatment.
