Kotaku: ''Is Final Fantasy dead? Should we stop getting excited about the series? Is it time to abandon all hope?''
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 So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly.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 always go Yuna, Aerith, Rikku, Rinoa, and for some reason Vanilla, Ashe, Cindy, Lunafreya, Quistis
No, it's not dead. We still have XIV and XV look forward to.
And if they increase the jiggle physics and breast size a little more and add in bikini DLC, I might buy Lightning Returns.
No. I find it funny that everyone was craving Versus but it turned into XV, everyone says Final Fantasy is dead. Well I've got news for ya FFVII fanboys. Turned based RPGs on consoles are the past. The tech was too slow to handle something like FFXV. Move on guys. FFXV will surpass VII. I'll tell ya that for nothing.
Yawn...another article about FF being dead.
It's not dead. How many FFs are coming out again? Yeah that's dead alright.
The Lightning saga was dead on arrival
FF as a whole is still very much alive. XV is coming and looks quite incredible, like a throwback to the golden age of FF.
Did you forget about Type-0? even though it wasn't localized, surely it must count for something. It's one of the better FF games according to anyone who knows Japanese.
But how do you tell when a franchise is "dead" anyway? Lack of sales? lack of spotlight? company goes under? What determines the so called "death" of a video game franchise. I think it'd be chalked up to word of mouth and pretty much everyone has nothing but praise for XV. That game's been hyped to hell since it was prematurely shown at E3 2006.
How could anything "dead" generate any sort of hype?
