Ninja: While you may have your own opinion on the current state of Final Fantasy, would you, if you were Square, honestly give up on a series that sells over 2 millions copies in a month just because a few hardcore nerds out there think the series has declined? I don't mean that in a deragatory way, but if you said "no" to that, you're a liar, and anyone else who didn't answer yes is lying as well. If developers canned entire franchises just because a select few think it's fallen on hard times, we'd have no franchises anymore. Same thing's happening to Mario, and it's sales are dwarfed by Final Fantasy- all the more reason for Nintendo to trash it, right? Sure, WE can see the great things is past Mario games, but some can't. Similarly, while YOU personally can't see the great things in recent Final Fantasies, some CAN. You can't act like your opinion on something is the way it IS.
