I think the series has been going on longer than it should. I understand it's Square's cash cow, but I think it is time for them to focus on other games (like Kingdom Hearts and all the other RPGs they never touched in years, hell even a new IP). Final Fantasy is becoming the next Bleach. I mean, it has had it's fun in the beginning, but enough is enough too much is not good.

 

I'll let Final Fantasy 15 fly with this one (I still wish it go away so Kingdom Hearts 3 will come out before I graduate) but after that... ugh.

Fool. It's not really a series. Final Fantasy is almost its own genre.

It not like they are draggin out the story cause each ff is a different story so...I don't really see a problem with that.

Nah, it's still series. It doesn't have mechanics that are severely different from other most other RPGs.

Wow, funny timing, I posted my opinion on the series at the same time you did.

I don't see a point to having a different story when the gameplay isn't all that different in most of the games.

Hm, coincidence? I think not!

Screw that I love FF

If you think that for FINAL FANTASY, just wait for Kingdom Hearts. It's going to continue after Kingdom Hearts III and it's all just one big overall story where FINAL FANTASY has a new story for each number.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

why are you typing all the game names in caps?

I agree that its not as good as it used to be and with focusing on other series(and maybe it would help if they were slowing down and not releasing a FF game every year),but I don't want FF to die,they're still making some good games like Type-0 or FF15 and if they release bad games we don't need to buy them

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

When you have the same gameplay, gimmicks and concepts most of the time, there will be some issue.

Yeah, but the time that went into the bad games could have been used to make something better.

I want them to focus more on Kingdom Hearts, but I don't want them to milk the series.

There is more to a game than just story, if they wanted to release more stories they could have just done what they did FF7 and make a movie.

That's different. Advent Children Complete is apart of the overall story of FFVII. And they're done with VII's story, KH however will continue with the same characters the same overall storyline.

 

If you've got a problem with the way FINAL FANTASY is done, you're going to have a problem with Kingdom Hearts.

Because that's how they are correctly written.

There's plenty of focus on Kingdom Hearts. I mean, they release one KH game every year. What more do you want ?

 

I personally don't think FF has gone on for to long. Just that some FF games are just better than others.

if there was no FF there never would have been a Kingdom Hearts in the first place KH can not exist without FF.

Like I said before, if they want to release more stories, they can just make a movie, or TV series, or something.

Like I said before, I don't want Square to milk the series like they are doing with Final Fantasy. If it gets to that point then I'll have a problem, but it hasn't.

Um, I never said wished the series never existed in the first place, I said it has been going on for too long.

you are in the minority here. Final fantasy has had it's ups and downs but that doesn't mean it should just stop. FFXIV: a realm reborn is incredible and they are making a change with the battle system on 15. What more do you want? Let me guess your opinion is based on 13?

For the third main installment to be released before the Duke Nukem Forever effect sets in.

 

Yeah, but there are many other games Square has that they could give attention, but I guess not because money talks.

And? More focus on other games, especially the forgotten ones. Nope. Heck, I hold the same opinion for Nintendo games.

the forgotten ones? what series by square have been forgotten that aren't turn based rpgs?

Pfft- they make games aside from RPGs?  I would like an update to Secret of Mana (and maybe Chrono Trigger) and I think there were cancellations to new IPs (searches interwebs for name)

Edited October 15, 201312 yr by Tyrants

square does what they do best and that's turn based rpgs. It's their series that everyone knows them for if they quit making it they would be bankrupt and unable to make KH games.

Er, don't mean to be rude here, how exactly was this relevant to anything I said? All I said is that they should give Final Fantasy a (long) break. Final Fantasy isn't even the only RPG they have.

 

Also, isn't 15 steering away from turn-based gamplay?

FINAL FANTASY FOREVER!

i'm just saying if you seriously think square can survive without making money from Final Fantasy then you are sadly mistaken. KH is nice a few of their other titles (chrono trigger) did well but without FF square is dead. Square being dead=No KH that's all i'm saying is that a break from ff would kill the company.

You'd never know, if they put forth much effort into a new non Final Fantasy game. This is another reason why this industry is slowly failing, companies are too scared to try something new.

if there was no FF there never would have been a Kingdom Hearts in the first place KH can not exist without FF.

kingdom hearts is just a final fantasy that takes place in the disney realm so i totally agree 

The problem with Final Fantasy now is that the series has lost a lot of it's steam thanks to the abomination duo of FFXIII and the first version of FFXIV

 

What has been regarded as the Mother of all JRPGs has become a mockery and with it the JRPG scene started to fall down

 

Yes XIII sold a lot(though the sales are pathetic compared to Pokemon HGSS which was released in the same year and sold more despite being a remake)

 

But the reputation of the series has fallen into a deep abyss.

 

And Yes I'm aware FFXV can restore the series to it's former glory,but let me ask you for a sec.

 

Did XV generate the same huge amount of excitement that Final Fantasy VII did on it's Ps1 debut????No,not even close

 

During it's long ass development period as Versus XIII,the hype started dying slowly and even though the E3 trailer brought back some of it....it's just isn't as big as it was when it was first announced....7 years of silence and little to no information until 2013 has reduced the hype for it tremendously 

 

Even if XV succeed,I doubt Final Fantasy would be as big and influencial as it was before on the industry anymore.

 

When I look back at previous titles and how awesome they were despite the huge technical limitation they had on SNES,Ps1 and Ps2 I just frown and say:Square,what happened to you???

 

You had more than you needed to create the ultimate Final Fantasy experience so many times but you always miss such chance.FFXV could've possibly released on Ps3 as scheduled if it wasn't for the lack of communication and the poor management of Square Enix.

 

I bet if Hironobu Sakaguchi was still there he would've figured something out...yeah he was responsible for the horrible FF the Spirit Within movie that forced Square soft to fuse with Enix...but at least he knew how to make a good game(except FF8 that game is awful)
