Why do you think Mystic Quest got so much flack? It wasn't a bad game, it just didn't seem like it should have been titled Final Fantasy Mystic Quest in the west.

There's a reason Yoshida says he wants to try to capture the Final Fantasy feel, and with 20 years worth of Final Fantasy games, it's clear what "Is and isn't" a Final Fantasy game -- it's why people say Final Fantasy XIII reviewed as it's own game it was great or bad (personal preference) -- as a Final Fantasy entry? We all know how that ended up.
If you bother to go back to the original debate, someone was saying that "OMG DISSIDIA is so awesome because you can jump" and then you came along and was all like "Actually you can't jump in dissidia" and then I said "who cares" and then someone said "well you should care because dissidia is important" and then I said "Its no more important than anything else" and now you're just saying a bunch of random stuff that's not even related to the original debate.
