Did everyone really just magically forget how terrible and awful
Final Fantasy X and
X-2 are?
It's not like they're fixing ANYTHING that was broken about these games in the first place. You're still getting the same irritating Tidus chock full of daddy issues. You're still getting the same
perma-stoned Yuna. You're still getting the improbably ridiculous Maester Seymour with equally ridiculous hair. You're still getting the kind of on-rails that
Final Fantasy XIII brings in spades.
It's like Squeenix is intentionally trying to piss off their fanbase and get us to stop buying their games, while many of us are regrettably bound to at least TRY every game in the franchise until they finally either call it quits or manage to make one so irredeemably awful that it finally bankrupts them.
