SE to churn out a FF title/year?!

[Caselia]

If you take spin-offs into account not mentioning Dissidia would be blasphemy. They really need to take that serie from the handhelds and use the gameplay in the mainline entries. It is so close to having very very good gameplay almost on the level of fighting games/DMC that it makes me drool for more (you can actually treat it as a legitimate fighting game with tiers and advanced tactics. Too bad it has no online). Kingdom Hearts could also learn something from it.

I disagree. Final Fantasy is meant to be a turn-based series going back to it's origins. Turning it into an action game ruins the franchise for what it's famous for (Interesting story, character depth and battle system). Yes the previous games have character depth to claim they do not have character depth compared to XIII you're being an oblivious fanboy/girl.

As one stated before Nomura put a lot of customization or so into character design? Yet many of the characters are a rip off of characters from games before it or from different titles.

Back to my point, adding in a battle system such as Dissidia's many people would probably agree with mainly because of KH syndrome. But if you follow the trend of failure from the past few FF games and why the public doesn't label them as good as it's predecessors, the answer is obvious.

It's moving far away from what they enjoyed in the past games and the battle system is one of them. XIII uses ATB like some of the previous games but it was more action oriented than strategic. Not to mention controlling one character at a time? That's removing depth from the game that made it more enjoyable.


P.S. Those who say "more sequels to the series and spin-offs" just no. Final Fantasy is not meant to have spin-offs/sequels they're stand alone games. Sequels and spin-offs just milk the game they're based on and/or not needed. XIII is an exception since development stopped when it was ported.
