yes, you’re absolutely correct (about how Charlie’s Angels FFX-2 really is)

at the same time, it has pretty much become a clear trend of… confused development.

X-2 pretty much turns into standard FF after the first few hours so… why even bother with that particular presentation in the first few hours?

FFXII presents Vaan as the “protagonist” (main guy players wll see the world through), then reduces him to a sidekick tagging along for the Ashe Show.

FFXIII actually gets quite large later in the game. for those caught up in the linearity gags, most of them would gag on their own misconceptions if you show them the game after 25 hours…
…so why did Toriyama wait 25 hours to get there?

FFXIII-2 is about Serah searching for her sister. so instead of getting to it, the game meanders for 3 and a half chapters (out of 6).

so while you’re not wrong, there is still something to criticize there.

it might be worth noting 3 of those 4 games have Toriyama in the driver’s seat.
i sometimes think Toriyama is the Peter Principle in action. he had one success with FFX, then got promoted way over his head to be the head guy for the series, and he’s never been able to replicate his FFX success since.

  If they’re doing 10 then they better do 10-2. I thought 10-2 was a better game.

  Unfortunately there’s oversupply and intense competition from amateurs. Homeporn is all the rage and practically every gal has a sex video somewhere.
