Game Design Concepts that the Devs and Playerbase has Forgotten

[Payadopa]

Someone seems to have forgotten though that the Final Fantasy series is famed for story more than gameplay (and that this is a Final Fantasy game first and foremost.).

They all have story and gameplay. And the older ones were also good on the whole game front up until 13.

I played every single Final Fantasy and none of them are a visual novel like XIV is nowadays with literally nothing to do in-between but press X twice until the mob dies. It's technically still a game but I'd be lying if a said I found it engaging.

I'm convinced that if you were to transplant the current jobs into a single player game and remove the FF IP the game would flop without the story to carry it.
