Gomen kudasai, Sanders-san, Zonk-san. It is not the end until the end has happened. Until then, everything still has potential.
We fans of Final Fantasy, iiye, all RPGs, we enjoy this genre because at some point an RPG amazed us, ne? Why, then? All you who doubt it, why are you willing to write off the single most remarkable RPG series in gaming history over what you think are not such good games? First, even in whichever FF you dislike most, there was always some element which kept it above the average RPG, was there not? Second, I do not believe Square-Enix will surrender the most legendary series in gaming. Third, for my part, I do not believe future employees of the industry will allow the series to suffer a final decline. Those who have taken the most inspiration from Final Fantasy will no doubt raise their skill with hope of advancing the power of each story.
The series may falter, it may even reach a critical low point. But, so long as so many people expect wondrous things of it, there will be others constantly seeking to create great things for them. Final Fantasy, it has not been just a game for many years. All the best points, even in the worst releases, have coalesced into an honest and spirited guide for a still fledgling art. That's what I think.
