    I disagreed. I think the gameplay and story writing are not bad. I'm sure they tried a turn based game before they decided to go with the ff13 battle system during their internal tests. The story writing, it was purely decicions due to the technological advancements. They decided to go with the future route instead of revisiting the medieval era, which they will revisit again, I'm sure

    I remember clearly the original announcement for this game before it was FFXIV. Yeah, it looked like a kind of isometric view strategy type game with big party sizes. ... It was a very long way away from where it ended up.

    Sorry, I meant to specify for their offline games - FFXI and XIV have phenomenal writing. 13 and 13-2 were cringe-worthy.
