I've noticed some people get particularly touchy if you bring up the 'Squall died at the end of Disc 1 and the rest of the game is a fever dream' theory.

People who believe fan theories tend to get really defensive and almost psycho. It's not much different than shipping culture.

I was actually referring to people who don't believe / like the theory, lol. But I have no problem believing that it agitates people on both sides of the fence.

For me, its that the series has lost its charm. Since 10, they have gone in a direction that has been counter productive to the series. People seem to love the new direction it has taken with the open world and action rpg direction, but I heavily believe that the style that lasted up until 10 was the best vision for the series. Static backgrounds for cities and sub areas, overhead 3/4 view, and airships. Noting that the airship in 15 was awful in terms of controls.

And I get that it sells well, but at the same time, the franchise now aims to look beautiful without having any actual substance. The main villains of the series are being overshadowed by lesser characters and story directions just don't make sense.

And while FF13 technically brought back turn-based combat, the major issue I had with that game (outside the linear levels and hard to understand terminology), is that you could only control one character in battle. Meanwhile, they implemented a system very similar in Octopath Traveler and that was fantastic (very much looking forward to playing OT2 when I get the money).

Uh, it's the other way around. The FF8 fanboys loath that theory while everyone else is just having a fun time with it. Hell, even the devs were amused by it.

In FFXIV?
Should they have to? Not if they don't want to.
Do they have to? Absolutely. DPS or gtfo and you'll be replaced by a competent healer.

It depends on how you look at it. I argue that the game really doesn't get that bad until Adel is introduced. Yeah the battle mechanics were a bit weird, but the story up until that point was actually fairly decent. And of the 3 Playstation FF games, its the 1st disc that I actually want to play on repeat.

I think disc 1 is quite good, but then it just plunges off a cliff, getting worse as it progresses.

Always reminds of that one exchange in That 70's Show:

Kelso: "I love her!"
Eric: "No, you don't."
Kelso: "Well, I love parts of her!"

Just swap out 'her' with 'FF8.'

I get heat whenever I mention Tifa and Barrett are clearly banging. I mean, he is a tall, very muscular, very masculine black guy, leader of a gang, with his own bar; and she works there, taking care of his child, while wearing a mini-skirt and tight shirt. Tifa is getting railed on the regular. Lol.

FF14 not being a mainline entry (even though it has the best story of the whole franchise)

FFX's Blitzball being fun or not.

FF12 being the same plot as Star Wars and the game playing itself.

FF8's junction system.

FF13 getting two sequels.

FF7 Remake technically being a sequel to FF7 and not a remake. (The title refers to Sephiroth's plan for history, not the game's existence itself.)

Its just that the golden age era was difficult to translate into HD. You really cant create so many assets in 3D without the game developing, budget ballooning out to space. Hence why we got corridors in X and 13, but X did have a lot of charm, great characters and story along with an excellent battle system. XIII was just blah. XV was just them trying to imitate big budget game trends and failed. XVI looks really good so Im hopeful for that.

This. Personally I do not like the gameplay style of XV and VIIR, and it looks like XVI could be headed this same way. However, XII found a way of revolutionising FF gameplay in a fun way, and it would be great if they brought that back, if they're no longer going with the classic turn-based of VIII or X.

That FFXII is the best in the series. Every preceding game was working towards creating that masterpiece.

Also FFX is the best in the series.

And FFVII is the best in the series
