for me the last true FF was FFX b/c it was the last FF game that was made by Squaresoft

Wow most hated series ever? So many great arguments in this thread.....NOT.

Marketing Ship Ahoy!!!

Brace for impact =P again.

I think darth gave the best reply in this entire thread xD

I sure hope not, i wish more there were more fans of FF then.

For me, the last true Final Fantasy was Final Fantasy.

Keeps its JRPG core，and tries new way，it's not a contradiction.
So there are FF 13,FFV 13,FF 13A.
Maybe there will be 5 games about FF 15...

I'm confused.....I thought he was involved with every FF that come out from 1 to 10.  Anyways, doesn't matter, I feel like Lost Odyssey will have a more FF story than FF 13.

Final Fantasy IX was the last one in which he had any direct participation on it's development, but he had no part in the development of both FFVIII and FFX.

Since so many fans in here use that same excuse, I find it somewhat sad to see things from that perspective, because most of them try to past that as a Fact, when other millions of FF fans still love the series for what it is, innovation was always a staple in each Final Fantasy.

Sakaguchi was a great developer, the best Final Fantasy Developer, but the series has still mantained it's qualities and strengths, even if it's in a different format from what was done in the Past.

Probably there won't ever be a FF game to even equal FFVI, but current FF games have been good as well. 

about time
