Note: FFXI was in production before the merger. This is likely the reason it still had a plethora of traditional FF goodies and felt like a real FF game.

Sadly, I think those days are gone. I'd love SE to prove me wrong, but I'm doubtful. If there's any thread on these forums that they need to see, it's this one. Thank you so much for posting this, Eldaena. It really brought me back.
Plenty of people enjoy the games after VII as well. Don't generalize the playerbase and call them "true FF fans" please. People like you make the series inaccessible to newcomers.
