Kane Knight, this is what I don't get about you. You show yourself to be an intelligent individual. A master debator(stop giggling) in the disscussion forum. And you make great arguements in the wrestling forum. But every once in a while, you disagree with something so strongly, that any semblance of a valid arguement dissapears, and you are transformed into some terrible noob-like poster, whose only arguement is throwing irrelevant insults about, and generally acting like the wrestling forum jobbers which yo scathe with your sharp-witted homo-erotic cracks.
Instead of evaluating on your arguement, your making a paragraph disscussing grammar and the context of your previous post.
The fact is that the game consistently makes millions every year. But okay, the it has become "cliched and formulaic"? Oh, and "dumb". There's that great kk wit. They consistently try and overhaul the magic system. Even the battle system is being changed for twelve. I don't know about everyone else, but I would prefer they spend more time on the game than finding suitable actors to do voice acting. And as far as the stories go, no, the recent games havn't lived up to their successors, but a part of that has to do with what I mentioned earlier. The shadow of games like IV VI and VII, but these games on such a pedastal that it has been impossible to live up to the hype. But it's still better than 90% of the drivel out there.
I have tried to get into other rpg's. I can't. Because the story and characters don't pull me in like FF. Even the later ones.
So now, try calming yourself to thing of a proper and relevant rebuttal.

What i stopped doing a long time ago was expecting ANY FF game to be the same, and not really expecting them to overshadow FF VII, because as you said, they will all be in its shadow.
To say the Final Fantasy series is redundant in what it does is rediculous in my opinion. Every game there is a different magic system (as stated very well by Fignuts), a tweak in the battle system, etc.
Compare the FF series to a FPS, and tell me what is formalic. Compare FF to ANY genre of game, and tell me whats formalic. I think what makes the Final Fintasy series of games is, they are true RPGs that get you into the story. Every story is different.
TBH, GTA is formalic, FPS are formalic, racers, sports games. THOSE are formalic. And i just named almost all the top genres in games right there.
