I've been enjoying SE games on PSP and DS. But, of course, no one looks at SE outside of FF and put all their rage on that, lawl.

I don't think we'll ever see another amazing FF, Games aren't about story as much these days.
I disagree, but as I've said before some people will accept the changes made in games others want.
What would be some examples?

Sagi is one of those people who plays that game so much he FRAPS his lap time for the "world record".
Mega nerd.

Video games have become more mainstream. Of course the companies are going to tailor their games to appeal to the masses. I like oldschool turn based RPG's. They don't make them anymore, which I think plays a large part as to why I don't play video games as much.

Actually might have worded what I meant badly. I feel games now are more about being shiny, than having a very good story.

Examples of opinions?
You say FF's aren't as much about the story as they used to be.
I think you've got it backwards.
They're more about the story which has caused the games to become far more linear.

That's because the English are always beating the Scots.

I do prefer older RPGs for the most part, but I can only storm x castle y amount of times before it gets boring because I've done the same game a million times. Half the fun of a game is experiencing things new. I can't do that replaying old games over and over. I just adjust to the new way of gaming. It's fun when you accept it, but if you keep nitpicking and looking through your silly nostalgia glasses, then you ruin all the fun. Everyone walks into games expecting disappointment, which is all they're gonna get.

I think being more linear would take away from the story. There aren't as many sidequests/sidestories.

That makes the story the whole focus with less distractions and less going out of your way to know/understand.

Maybe in FF, but go into other RPG franchises. Plenty of sidequests and sidestories. I never was fond of FF sidequests because many were a complete waste of time.

Sorry if I sound angry, but really people, look outside of the Final Fantasy franchise and stop calling current RPGs crap because FF is not the only RPG series in existence.

Doesn't even have to be grid there's still a fair share of RPG that are turn based.

I've said nothing more than "hello" to my neighbors for the past 19 years. My neighbors are lucky if they get that much.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
