When did the FF series start to suck?

We all know that the Final Fantasy series used to be awesome, and that it undoubtedly helped to set a standard for the entire RPG genre. But we gotta face facts, it sucks now. It's pretty much a given that most of us are sick of the same recycled, androgynous main characters, the ways they continue to mess up a previously awesome battle system [FF12 anyone?] and the constantly blatant attempts to be pointlessly over the top.

But when did this start?

For me, it was FF11, when they gave into the hype and went online.

I liked Final Fantasy XII and thought that it had an understated presentation.

That being said, I could do without the effeminate pretty boys.

FFXII's battle system is pretty fun. It's more realistic than the crappy turn based stuff, or FFX's battle system.

I'd say it's all a matter of opinion. For me, FFXII and X sucked. Howeve,r I love X-2 and XII, so I really just can't say.

Absolutely sublime from start to finish, and I will jam forks into my eyes if I ever use those words to describe anything else ever again. ... But fuck you! Portal's great, and if you don't think so, you must be stupid!

It never started sucking, it just had a couple of dud games along its way.

I like the 'Both' option.

Lazy ass can't think of her own stuff to draw:

And thus, it was known as a Lalala.

Just after Aerith died in FF7, because from that point onwards the games had at least one character who followed Cloud and cried in the corner.

XII didnt seem to have that but the bad combat system made up for it in my opinion.

Why is everyone saying FFXII had a bad battle system?

If you have ever played Spyro or... well, I can't tihnk of any other games I've personally played that have the free-roam battle system, but if you've ever done thing kind of thing, then you shouldn't hate XII's battle system, since it is more or less the same. The gambits are there to make your life easier, altohugh you are free to manually command everyone and get your frickin ass kicked.

When it started using a real time battle system. I prefer ATB and turn based.

Sucks that FFXIII's gonna have that same battle system.
