Square-Enix Needs New Archetypes
I'm on to you, Square-Enix... ...Also, cell E8 concerns me greatly. I might have made some mistakes, but the I think most of these are accurate. This has epic written all over it.
I never really completed FF6, I got to umm well I forget where I got to but Terra was still AWOL after turning into an Esper so...why is her love interest children?

That is awesome.
Though... FFXI's protagonist reaches dangerous "Borderline-HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE Guy" levels for half the cutscenes. Such is life as a silent hero, I suppose. FF15 is gonna need a bald space marine to make up for most of these. He'll communicate only in grunts and one-liners. Love it! The Manthra love interest for XI is absolutely hysterical!
Final Fantasy Versus XIII = potential combo breaker?

I do agree with Ingraham, silent protagonists become HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE the second any cut scene starts and yet still have the wits and power to finish numerous puzzles that puzzle the people around the world and smite creatures capable of destroying galaxies... But then a cut scene starts and suddenly they've been rendered weaker then a mouse and dumber then a goldfish.

It's funny... I saw this immediately after reading an article my friend sent me.
http://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-officially-burnt-out-192700.phtml It's a long article about someone's take on the FF series as a whole... Id post it but it's long and I forget how to do the spoiler thingy. Was worth a read I thought as I began to wonder how many people felt the same or if they differed in opinion. Leviathan.Alkalinejoe

How was Vincent a badass? This confuses me.
You haven't played Dirge of Cerberus, clearly.
Sorta Emo, perhaps. But he does some pretty badass things. And his emo-ness is mostly justified. XI's is:

Aw, man, I forgot Final Fantasy Tactics. It's probably best... sparing you all the incest jokes. *cough*RamzaxAlma*cough* Phoenix.Dabackpack said: I'm on to you, Square-Enix... ...Also, cell E8 concerns me greatly.

I enjoyed 10 I hated 8 but it was a good game in it's own right. I don't know if it was 11 that made them crazy, but the gameplay of x-2 was fun the story was disgusting. 12 was uninspiring both in story and in gameplay. But with their stock prices consistently dipping, maybe se will figure it out eventually. Shiva.Mackstrife

I don't know, I think each game is good in its own right but I have seen a decline from title to title over the years. But I do agree that I think they do more riding of the name/brand than they do of producing a quality product. Like FFXII is my example... I dislike it, I find it to have no redeeming qualities after Balthier. just had a though isn't FF basically following same kind of game/story premiss that phantasy star did like a decade or 2 ago with each game becoming more future/tech based?
This is gonna sound weird but FF is getting really... anime-ish, something that can be alienating for some.
FFXII would've been an example of feeling pretty 'Western' from Matsuno's original touch, but thanks to some bizarre design choices (Vaan becoming the new protagonist to appeal to fangirls instead of Basch for starters), it was not meant to be.

I don't think so, 7/8 were by far the most futuristic of the stories that I can recall, certainly a ton more so than 9.

I personally liked pretty much all of the numbered Final Fantasies, but I can see why a lot of people dislike some of them. |
