This is a common element is almost all games and beside that is not topically related to the OP. He is talking about quality and not profitability.


If you read the Jim Sterling article in the OP, you would know that he meant that graphics were the only thing being pushed in the series, and that is a problem.

And I disagree with this most respecfully.

I thought XII and X-2 both had some fantastic gameplay mechanic that contributed to the genre far more than his favourite VII which gave us cinematic and Sephiroth (thanks VII!).

The article mention that there are too many low quality spinoff coming out of SE and that can be argue but the spinoff is rarely if ever given the same pedigree as the main series and numbered final fantasy remains a series that command respect for bringing innovation into a genre so linear that its literally impossible to re-invent itself without shedding its core ideal.
