The Final Fantasy franchise is far from over as it celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary this year, despite what some might believe. However, during a recent Twitter discussion about whether Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the right next step for the series, I was asked how I would fix the current direction of Final Fantasy. This whole question is founded on the assumption that Final Fantasy needs fixing, and the answer goes beyond a simple yes or no. Fixing the series would imply that it is broken, and I don't feel that it is. On the other hand, the question wouldn't be coming up if there were not issues that need to be addressed.
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 So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly.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
I said this before:
-Bring back strategic game play of FF1-10
-Hire some good script writers to make good stories like past FF's.
-Fire Wada and Toriyama !!!
-Bring back world map
-Bring back Airship, Chocobo's, Moogles an other FF folklore, for the FF vibe
-Bring back Mini games e.g gold saucer, tetra master, blitzball
-Secret/Hard bosses e.g Emerald Weapon. In FF13-2 you have to pay DLC to fight hard bosses like Omega weapon, which sucks !
-Bring back towns, in FF13-2, they have towns but you cant go into buildings. So thats just sugar coating.
....and Square Enix wonders why they have so much fan backlash
Am going to get a lot of disagree's for this !
But i think FFvs 13 is going to FLOP and dissapoint like FF13.
Because i have been dissapointed by SE too many times, everytime i think a game is going to make me like the series again. It just dissapoints (FF13 i thought would be that game, but it wasnt)
Hire the guy that went to MistWalker and re-hire the guy that did Final Fantasy Tactics...
Let them do their thing without a "ZOMG, MAKE IT LIKE A WESTERN SOMETHING."
And poof...
A phenominal Final Fantasy.
Stop making FF play like a MMORPG, and make it play like FF 1 to 9 instead.
and stop with the weird feminish man designs....
