That's the point though, i think. They know this and by going back to FFVII, it's openly telling the world that nothing they have produced since is better or will be better, therefore they have failed and would more or less signal the end of the final fantasy franchise. Which, from a business point of view would be terrible, it's still extremely successful, regardless of the quality of the games.
I also still think it's a series with potential, they just need to stop being so fancy and go back to basics a bit. Like, umm.. a good, simple, heart warming story with likeable characters, for starters.
I agree mate, that from a business point of view it would mean they end. But surely they know that FF7 was the king ding-a-ling of the FF franchise, so if it's not broke then dont fix it.
Get back to what people fell in love with and you will make more money! Now i know **** all about nothing, but surely they can see this?
I actually prefer the camera style of FF7 instead of this 3rd person over the shoulder crap!
Also, in FF7 there was a 5 minute cut-scene every hour or so, now its a 1 minute cut-scene every 10 minutes which is pointless and annoying. The ones on FF7 were jaw dropping and completely blew you away.
You've got me started now!!! :evil:
