Final Fantasy The thread within

[shadowprophet]

I have complaint, And a lot of people aren't going to like it. But its high time someone said something.

Final fantasy,

A name held in high regard across the board. Id like to show you all something,

What you see here is a pic of Final fantasy the legendary first game of the series a true classic.

This series this beloved favorite, is in danger. But unlike the panda I don't believe there is hope for this one. How did we go from this

To this?

And this


and this

and this


and what the hell is this?!!

I could go on.

Final fantasy is a commercially massive name and we all know square is capitalizing on that. but aren't you sick of Final fantasy "insert real game name to be replaced with final fantasy logo to drive sales figured up here" By now

Chocobos mysterious dungeon, ehrgeiz,dirge of cerberus. final fantasy x2, Hell final fantasy eleven wasn't even a final fantasy, They take the knight online engine modify it throw in some chocobos and call it a fricking day!! WTF!!

This all leads to a point.

There was a time when final fantasy meant something special. But the name itself has become a juggernaut. Selling unto its own brand. But does having a final fantasy logo on the box art and splash screen make it a true successor to the lineage of gaming we remember? Did slapping the final fantasy logo on ehrgeiz make it not suck?
Did slapping the name on dirge of cerberus help the sales?

And for that matter did attaching the final fantasy seal of approval on "star craft the movie" make spirits within sell?

Sigh. Its time for me to hang up my final fantasy gloves for the final time. Final fantasy, Finaled its last fantasy with FFx since then the traditional turn based rpg formula has been removed and the series has become an action hybrid basterdization of what final fantasy used to be.

To me final fantasy has died, Its transformed from something special. into a take no prisoners commercial juggernaut. But whatever.

I think i'll go slap the ff logo on some expired milk and sell it on ebay for a fortune.

Peace out,
