I guess that's where I think Square-Enix are a bit... I don't know... cowards? It's the job of their designers to create the good games with the new, interesting storylines, etc. and if they can't do it, maybe they should giv ethe job to someone else?

As we all can see, the games in the main series seem to improve. Final Fantasy X steered away from common levelling and introduced CTB, Sphere Grid, switching mid-battle etc. and FFXII allowed even more free-roaming during battles, etc. Unfortunately, the music score is debatable, and the story is relatively bland (as are the characters). But FFXIII looks very promising.

The tihng that bugs me is that they have these other teams working on other FF games when they really should be making other games. A company should always try to make games to earn money, and Square-Enix has Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts as sure-fire ways of selling. Why not just try to make something different? That's what bothers me. And these spin-offs, they don't hold the same quality as the standard FF games.

I think it's just me growing out of the games I used to like. I don't fancy Resident Evil anymore, and not that interested in Devil May Cry so much, or Zelda for that matter. I'm loking for new experiences.
