A letter to Square

[Pebe]

Hrmm there is always so much hate on FF13 and FFXIV 1.0 but to be honest I loved both. I am probably a SE White Knight, but what draws me in about Square Enix games is not so much the gameplay but the amazing stories that they can create. That is my reason for playing Final Fantasy games. When thinking about the current FF games in this perspective, not so much the gameplay perspective, I believe that the current FF games FFXII+ has done an amazing job keeping up with the level of story telling of their predecessors. I actually enjoyed FFXIV 1.0s storyline, even before the miracle update of 1.23 that began the umbral era storyline(Which btw was amazing). Unfortunately there just wasn't enough of it to see where it was going to go. I guess I'm the type of person who can overlook gameplay mechanics if the story is well told enough to completely immerse me in the game.

Eh, a lot of people love to talk for "the fans" trying to descrive FFXIII as an untold horror, but fact is that quite a lot of people liked it. You don't sell 3 million copies of a sequel if "the fans" didn't like the original. Some fans did, some didn't.

Was it the best Final Fantasy ever? Not at all. Was it as terrible for "the fans" as many try to paint it? Not one bit.

And I personally didn't like it much, but I don't talk for "the fans".

I can agree with you on this. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with XIII. I know I'll buy the next one too because I'm curious in the way their going to end the story line.

With regards to the letter, I enjoyed it a lot. It said exactly how I feel and I know many of my friends feel.
