Uhhh, FF gameplay is always changing? Care to tell me the differences between FFVI and FFX-2? There was a 10 year span between the games...Tell me what all was different.

Final Fantasy is trash because there are so many more deserving good JRPGs out there that are great, and never get the kind of press that FF gets in the west.

FF games tend to different enough from each other that they might as well be new IPs and not FF games especially FFXII

Raichu, but from FFVI to X-2, care to list the major changes in how you play?

The game is still turn based, with weapon/acc augmentations and special enhancements to enable magic and powerful attacks (dresspheres/espers)



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

True, they are all turn based RPGs through and through but look beyond the game and you will see:

different settings, and the visuals styles are different

What a delusional fanboy comment to make. There is no better deserving RPG franchise then FF other then Pokemon(which admittedly I love). Final Fantasy's formula is time tested and mother approved. They tend to always excel in multiple areas and bring a little something new every time. The games are similar but never identical.

FFVI had a full central party, consistent characters that did not change jobs.

FFX-2 gave option of allowing each character to be whatever job you saw fit for them

Both told great stories.

Both had awsome gameplay

No other RPG franchise is THAT consistent with each game.

FFX had a great story, FFX-2's story was lame from what I've heard(Yes, I never played it. Sue me)

Said the guy whose forum avatar and name are Cloud, the most generic hero in RPG history.  At least you didn't pick that nutsack Tidus, so I have to give you *some* kudos on that. 

Final Fantasy has been anything but a consistent series.  The only thing they've ever been consistent on are production values.  Story has ranged from excellent to mediocre to beyond terrible, same with characterization.

Don't call other people delusional fanboys when you think every Final Fantasy is great.  That is the pinnacle of delusion.

Cloud is far from being most generic hero is RPG history.  Many of the heroes in WRPGs are more generic then he is.  You are right about the story and characterization ranging from excellent to medicre to terrible though

the other reviews on metacritic point in the same direction as the IGN review, so can we stop discrediting/denouncing the reviewer now?
