    I don’t know the split and am guilty of helping proliferate this since I own every Final Fantasy. Nonetheless, ever since XIII, which is the only one I couldn’t finish because the writing is atrocious (Flashbacks of Beverly Hills 90210 galore), the quality has gone downhill. Every release offering an ever dumbed down world and mechanics in favour of simplifying it for a broader audience. That said, Vagrant Story’s upgrade tree is my wet dream on any RPG so I can tell I’m a minority. I’d like to see a FF with complex systems like Vagrant Story (mixed with magic fusion from FFVIII) and a story drawing from Joana D’arc or the Anglo-Zulu war.

      Oh, yea, I know what you mean. Personally haven’t delved too deep into FF myself apart from Dissidia and Crisis Core, but I’ve seen enough videos to know that people have criticised the writing before.

      What’s your stance on the whole 7 Remake arc?
