No game is going to sell on the strength of an entry 4-6 games ago in the series. The idea that there are people out there saying, "Well, even though every FF game after VI has sucked, I have to keep buying every new game in the series because VI was good" is completely ludicrous. Yes, the FF name carries weight, in part because of its history from the NES-SNES days, but the games still sell because they are damn good console RPGs, at least in the opinions of a lot of console gamers.Myself, I thought that FF7, 8, and 9 were all very good games, although I felt that some other games that Square released during the PSX era were much better (Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy Tactics, to name three). And I also thought FFX was excellent, far and away the best PS2 RPG. I didn't bother picking up FFX-2 since it didn't interest me much, and I know almost nothing about FFXII since I don't have a PS2 anymore (I do most of my gaming on the PC these days). So that's a pretty damn good track record after FFVI, in my opinion.</blockquote>
