No one doubts that the Final Fantasy series changed the world of gaming, for better of for worse through their innovations. Their approaches to gameplay and cinematics have not only transformed the RPG genre, but have held a great deal of influence on many other titles across numerous genres.
Looking back at Final Fantasy 6 on its 30th anniversary provides a snapshot of one of gaming's most important franchises at a pivotal turning point.
Gary Green said: It’s interesting to revisit the roots of your favorite franchises to see first-hand what’s changed and what’s stuck around all these years, though perhaps ‘visit’ would be more accurate than ‘revisit’ since apparently, Europe wasn’t worthy of the original six Final Fantasy games the first time around. By the time we started getting ports of these iconic games, we’d already been through the PSOne JRPG golden age. So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly. We aren’t bitter about the delayed releases, honest…
I'd love to but square said fk you to the ps fanbase that wanted these physically. Meanwhile switch got a physical release.

I dont get why Square Enix thinks an auto battle feature where the game plays itself is an innovation.

People always forget how awesome XII was and put it in the same category with XIII. Sure, it was quite lacking in the side quests too, but the level of customization and freedom in character development was the thing that made it so great. And even though it had a sort of auto battle too, it required you to be smart with your gambits and set ups, which is why it's nothing like XIII.
