I am not an anti-fanboy. Assuming I am an anti-fanboy by first impression is a little rude in itself, but I guess my smug post can leave that sort of impression so I apologize for the misunderstanding. The Final Fantasy series has produced some of my favorite games ever. That doesn't mean I don't think its time to call an end to a franchise that I believe is done. For example, I grew up loving James Bond movies, but these are different times where even old formulas are changed and the attempts at creating that same shine as before may not totally fail, they are still lackluster to what has been done in the past. I am not saying this out of nostalgia, I am saying this on a case by case basis of enjoyment. And the last few cases of Final Fantasy have left me not as satisfied as I have been in the past. I'm sorry we disagree and I am sorry you think I am attacking what might be one of your favorite franchises, but I truly believe its time to let the franchise end.Sir John the Net Knight said:
First off.......Stop making games that SUCK. Thats right I'm looking at you FFXIII, you pretentious overblown, over hyped, most disappointing game in my gaming history.
Spend 6 months exploring the old games and what made them so successful, comparing them to the newer games and what made them so terrible and using the findings to make a much more enjoyable final fantasy.SalamanderJoe said:
So to cut to the chase, you own Square-Enix now. What do you do next with FF?
First off do the time warp back to the older games. The new ones just aren't fun, although some like Final Fantasy X were ruined by the story not the game play.
The problem with Final Fantasy games isn't the large amount of cut scenes or the gameplay to me. It is the convoluted story, the characters I don't care about or flat out HATE, the lack of control, and the corridors.
For the most part I want something like Shin Megami Tensei, or Orge Tactics: Let us cling together. In short just a better quality of the story, maybe branching story and multiple endings as well.
When it comes to the spin-off games... I normally like them more, and making them their own lines might do some good. Also remaking the old final fantasy games people give more of a shit about. People love 7 but do they remake it, no. Just prequels and squeals.
They just keep cranking out the first six games over and over. While that isn't a BAD idea, but people who have bought one have no motivation to buy them again.

Back To Basics. Long (About 30+ hours) Downloadable (As in; PSS, Xbox marketplace, Wiistore, and Steam) Final Fantasy game with all of its 16-bit glory intact. Price tag around 15-20$
Remake FFV and FFVI on 3DS.
Then hire Yasumi Matsuno to direct the Final Fantasy Tactics sequel.
Then pump more budget into Dragon Quest.
Then get a good FF MMO going.

Along with re-creating every single handheld game into consoles and sell the Final Mix versions to North America and Europe.King Toasty said:
I want this. I want to see the Ivalice of my childhood again. Though, I wouldn't want it to be about Ramza. As much as I love Ramza, his story is over. I would like to see something that links together all of the ivalice alliance games.
