  1. Final Fantasy 14? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    You need to catch up to Mario, Square-Enix. Here is a recommended list of titles that you should make if you are trying to cash in on your IP:

    Dr. Final Fantasy
    Final Teaching Fantasy Typing
    Sephiroth Paint
    Cid's Time Machine
    Aeris is Missing!
    Super Final Fantasy Kart
    Kefka Tennis

    Then, in a few more titles, release "Final Fantasy 64", which will be a remix of your classic styling on a brand new system. You'll undo much of the damage that you did to your brand on the above crap. You can then go on to make a 4 player Final Fantasy versus fighting game, a never-ending stream of Final Fantasy "party" style games,
