alright, if you look at final fantasy, its been realativly the same style of gameplay, with a
different-ish world every time. battles were always fun to try to play as strategically as
possible, quests were entertaining, battles took some time and/or skill, and the story line
were always great. but lately im really seeing some issure i have where its going.

number one: the way storyline is getting told.
if you look at x-2, you can go anywhere from whenever and the plot unfolds around you.
ff always had linear "go where you can when it becomes plot/quest nessesary" that kept
the game from spoiling fast. it also let you remember back in the old days, or if your a
repeat player, it lets you more easiliy reminice of your last play. it does not work right for
the way the series normal is brought out thru the course of playing.

number 2: omFg the music.
i cant tell you how annoying one piano gets ofter many hours of trying to play a game
series you love. on ffx it wasnt too much piano, and in ffx2 it was in the ammounts of
"plEASE...kill meeEE my god ear hemmorage!" (k maybe not that bad but it sucked) final
fantasy 7 8 and 9, aswell as most before like 3 i know for sure, had wonderful, kinda of
rpg epic music, with trumpets and a band, or some cool synth sounds. now were are
getting light and tready with our piano, arnt we Nobuo Uematsu? its not thrilling. i find
myself no longer really getting attached to characters because their personalities are
watered down and less crazy fun. (they were always wonderful like sephiroth, steiner,
amerant, seifer, king edward, and many more.) those kinds of characters ended up being
replaced by a scene boy, a lame eyecandy girl, an oddly reversed islander, some anti social
beast, a strange and relativly boring goth witch.

number 3: where is the connection?
in ffx, ffx2 alot, and in ffxi besides my own character (one of those giant things named
betty), i feel no real emotion bond to most of the characters like i did in the previous
games. ffx wasnt so bad tho, it got me mostly into it all. ffx2..wow i just wanted some a$
$, i couldnt care for the life of me about the girls or really the game because have the time
i was so aroused i had to put the game down and call my girlfriend. ffxi, there were really
no characters, and again like in ffx2, no linear plot, and it had no real end or way to play.

number 4: the battle system
i loved the battle system up till 9. 10's was ok, but without cheats you could never fully
unlock its potential (d*mn spheres). the only reason i sorta likes the dress spheres in the
porno we call ffx2, was so i could watch the girls (cept the ugly one) change for me, other
than that it completely blew, and levels mattered almost nothing. in ffx, it was too easy to
win or lose. either you would rape or get raped. you could do enought dammage to kill
anything in one hit anywhere, and in some places anything would kill you in one hit even if
you could have killed them (i.e. MORE HP PLEASE MFG). over all, the in battle is still ok in
either, ffx was mostly the old style, ffx2 was fun cuz you could be anywhere, and ffxi was
cool cuz you could fight without fight scenes and in public (so many times did i want to
take my awesome gold scythe and slash people, but alas square did not allow me much to
my dismay.).

number 5: d*mn effing straight, wheres the world map?
i loved that part of the game, it was always so interesting to fly thru the world, or do it on
chocobo. in the new games, i believe they might have the world map be the whole game,
where when you move in an airship or chocobo or car or w/e the game seamlessly loads
the needed parts (the unreal engine three dominates this task). but in 10 i was all
"wth..automatic travel..? :(" and x2 much the same. ffxi was pretty cool, and its much like i
said but it didnt have the seemless streaming.

number 6: 6 f*****g games in a number!?!
ok, so theres going to be ffxiii right? well theres already 13 verses, 13 some a word, and
three more planned for developement. ok, so the sequel with ffx bombed, you really think
you can pull have 6 and have your fans enjoy it? that mean i gotta wait like 6 years for
ff14, and im not up for that. this is a bad idea. plus one of the games you have to play on
a mobile phone (or maybe the ds since its as good as one..*not confirmed ok? guessing*)

that sums up my aggressions with where final fantasy is going. if i messd something up let
me know. 1-4 are originals, if i come up with any more ill let you know and then edit this
post. feel free to comment.

@diehard ff fans: dont dare rip and shread at me for this, its not widely excepted.
@others: soak in what i said and let me know how you guys feel about these and other
things and other issues too.
