from all the games you've listed ff is the only series i'm still interested in. lost interest in sonic after sonic 1-3, cd and adventure 1 and 2, castlevania after STON and metal gear after 1, 2 and 4. all the other games i was never interested to begin with. now the reason why ff is still interesting to me is a) because jrpgs are my favorite genre and b) aside from a few exceptions in ff only the name the genre and minor gimmicky stuff (chocobos, cid, ...) gets reused. so, what do you want to tell me?

 


That pretty much every developer prioritize their most popular franchises maybe?

 

so why should nintendo be the best then, especially when they're reusing the same characters? i mean SE at least creates new characters and storylines with most of their ff games.

He don't, but being off-topic is still against the rules, so if you read the OP you will see how you and your listed friends are off-topic.

Officerraichu once posted "don't argue with each other or I'll report you" in his OP. Safe to say people did argue and OP had no leg to stand on as he doesn't decide the rules.


The topic isn't about how you think that Nintendo is the best dev in the world. But thanks for your contribution, Samus-Aran. Before you posted here, we obviously didn't know by now that you think they're the best.

Well this thread has certainty flown off the rails and judging by the last 60 or so posts in this thread, it seems well beyond the point of any reasonable discussion but instead a never ending back and forth debate between fanbases with some digs thrown in between. I do not see any reason why this should go on so, locking.

What does reusing the characters have to do with anything? The latest tired old milked Mario platformer has a 93 on metacritic...

ok keep going off-topic to say nintendo is the best that ever was... I won't bother as several others don't.
