What consumers expect of a FF-title

[Elexia]

I just found out a lot of XIII-2 was just outsourced from tri-ace. That's like Da Vinci asking for Matisse to help with anatomy. Also Tales of Xilia outsold XIII-2 in Japan. The first time Tales has done it though the numbers weren't that big to beat.

Tales BARELY outsold XIII-2 at the time the numbers were released. The Tales of games have actually been getting better.

The Tales of games have actually been getting worse.

Honestly, 2D Tales = Best Tales
I hate that the fanbase is falling in love with these spammy no-need-for-strategy games they've been coming out with lately.

Destiny 2 is still tops in my mind. Barbatos was such a great boss even though he's almost soulcrushingly difficult in the 3rd battle if you don't already know how to handle him. But that's what made it so great, you had to actually work out a way to beat him instead of just zerging like all the bosses in the latest games.
