I agree that each new FF game seems to try even harder to deviate from those that came before it, to the detriment of the game. But I'm not sure that this is dictated by the fan or critical response... I suspect it has more to do with each successive Final Fantasy team wanting to reinvent the wheel in order to make their mark on history, and avoid being accused of rehashing the inventions of previous designers.
Which is unfortunate, because in my opinion they've gone pretty far away from what really works in an RPG.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the world of Ivalice a few years ago, but now I would kill for another game in Ivalice. But I'm afraid that they've already shut the book on that.

So after being sick and tired of farming turtles, I go and finish the Faultwarens and then go do mission 64 so I can start trying to 5 star all the missions. I head back after doing mission 64, get to the turtle, fail to kill it the first time, swap around my accessories to get Vanille back in the full +20% haste effect, and get my second Traps to drop Gave it right away to fang, then dumped ~800k into upgrades for it to bring it up to level 70ish. That puts Fang at about 3600 Strength Going to try a straight up kill tomorrow as I'm tired of playing today.

I don't think (m)any fans would complain if Square just made FFVI/VIII again, just with slightly different scenarios/characters and pretty graphics.

I certainly wouldn't complain...
The terrible games these days are giving me an identity crisis. I have always thought of myself as a gamer, especially a fan of RPGs. But these days, games that I would actually consider to be "classic" come few and far between. Demon's Souls was the last one, and maybe the only one of this console generation, for that matter.
It's getting to be hard to maintain my self-image as a gamer.
But really, there's just nobody making the kind of games that I like (anymore.)
It almost seems like developers are afraid to do anything that has already been done before. But that's unfortunate for the gamers, because many great design features are used once and then abandoned forever.
And once all the great design features are exhausted, nothing is left but mediocre and bad ones.
I think that's where we are right now. But that's just my view.

No, SQUARE wants to revolutionize something each game. FF's popularity peaked when they were doing the same damn thing every game.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
But FFVII is wholly different from FFVI in terms of graphics and equipments/junctioning... Although still ATB.
If you want purely similar gameplay all through out = Dragon Quest.

Not only was FFVII a totally different game, like it or not, it revolutionized RPGs for this entire generation....

To to the genres detriment, I think. Who's brilliant idea was it to make the background and mythos simply something you read in the menu? Also, for such a linear game, why use an ambiguous and annoying weapons upgrade system? Crysterium is pretty cool though, however paradigms are some weak sauce.. let me choose who I control on the fly, dammit!
Finally, they change some of the greatest fundamentals, but they keep doing practically the same damn thing with summons. I want summons that JOIN my party, not replace them...

I REALLY want Versus info. Its 99% unlikely that it'll be better than FFXIII for me since the KH team hasn't ever made a game better than a main FF game for me (except for KH2 which I liked more than FF12)
On my FF's scale I hope I like versus more than FF12....so that would mean I hope its at least a 9.01/10 since FF12 is a 9/10 game
Agito....meh who cares, port it to 3DS square, NO-ONE is going to buy agito XIII in the west if it stays on PSP only, You WILL lose money on that game.

Even though I think Timeless River is the only part of that game that isn't soulless.

Also, BbS was very good from what I've heard.
Oh, and here's one of the losing avatars that I've made Kagari:

If you read the posts he's made thus far, then you should know no one will pick a fight with him because it's obvious he's completely crazy.
In the meantime, waiting for a countdown clock on the Vs13 page, which hasn't been updated since forever. I'm willing to bet it'll show up in trailer form at least, even if it may suffer the FF13 trailer method of "50 seconds reused footage, 10 seconds new useless footage".
