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. 

I don't need to remember, even though I have a photographic autism brain that allows me to remember what I was wearing on a certain day when I was 2. I also have an entire shelf of gaming magazines. Like now, I was on forums then. DC was liked; it's just that PS2 was on the horizon, and people held off. Wind Waker was mocked at Space World, but those who bought it generally liked it, and it got good reviews. Extended Play also liked it. The gaming show I watched back then. The kiddy thing is just the general fanboy online console wars bs from people who want to discount the other console. The word kiddy changed to casual when Wii came out. WW wasn't the general consensus. It was a loud, idiot fanboy minority who largely didn't play it. 

FF fans have always been nutty. Always been pretending some lame entry is somehow some underappreciated classic. Like FFX-2. Mystic Quest now has fans. There's nothing new there. FTR, I don't hate the game. I did all the DLC, but it's not an RPG, and its combat is pathetic. Its writing is terrible. I don't like 15, but it's a better game as an RPG. I mean, it is still trying to be an RPG. The one thing I did like about FF16 is the Platinum Games-developed boss fights. Not the depth of a Bayo game, but the same spectacle. FF SOP is a better RPG and action game. So is Rebirth. Pissed off? Hardly. This has been the status quo for FF fans for a couple of decades.
