Creative? Bro show me another game with amount of epic moments like final fantasy. How can someone fight in space with some dragon ball shanigans and talk about creative disaster. That all fight was one of the most next gen shit to date. And final fantasy isn't pushing the graphics to the max. Wait until the proper not hold back ff comes out. Just wait
Luminous Engine/Crystal Tools/White Engine should tell you everything.
Right there you have the development clusterfuck that was:
FFXIII,XIII-2,XIII-3,VersusXIII/XV
let that sink in....2 generations wasted
but the the lack of proper technology/incompetence didn't start on PS3.
FFX:
linear bullshit. No airship world exploration. overly designed Characters clash against plain looking NPCs (no cohesive art direction in that respect)
FFXII:
Probably the most ambitious FF game to date, the closest one to captute that magic of a living world that you could explore. It had dev issues as well, that affected the second half of that game.
Once you master the gambit system the game plays itself.
and FFXVI....if that shit cost 200+M to develop....Square Enix is truly fucked. because a lot of decisions seem cost-cuting ones. archaic level design, lackluster party, paper thin combat system (doesn't even have status effects)....is 2023....and still no airship-world exploration.
lets not forget what was one of the first things SE did:
Final Fantasy VII compilation aka
lets milk Tifa's tts to oblivion. no creativity, no ambition, no vision, no technology.
and the FFVIIR is just than....A Nostalgia cash grab. with the same issues.
Square Enix as a company is not even a shadow of its former self. and that is not debatable.
