FF started to fail after FF10. It has a nice story, but it isn;t all that great that they can learn eachother skills and such. Kills the factor 'job system'. FF12 was really the worst of them all! Battles were to slow, license system sucked like hell, esper system was annoying and then the quickenings! You could kill a boss in 1 hit if you knew how to combo them
They should've kept things like the FF6/FF4. Secret characters, challenging dungeons and each char has it's own specific skills.
