there's also no additional FF11 representatives beyond Shantotto and Prishe, and I have a soft spot for that game? I dunno, FF11 once upon a time did really capture the sort of intensity that a dungeon crawl in the original NES Final Fantasy or FF3 for the Famicom did where the game was downright masochistic.
it used to be an acquired taste. now the game is so watered down that there's really no more joy in hitting milestones you used to feel the results for years. :/ I'm getting off topic, though.
I think titles old and new deserve representation, and even if I'm not the biggest fan of some of the characters on display here, I can accept that some people are, or at least that Squeenix thinks there are fans of them.
