Here is how I see it....

Final Fantasy is a gaming franchise that won't die and we know it won't go anywhere anytime soon. What I find most disconcerting is the sudden drop in enthusiasm over the mainstream games, and even some of the spin offs that have come out. After some thinking I believe I found what has been keeping most people away.

It's not the propaganda that's the issue so much as the complete and utter vapidity of all of the spinoffs, and SE has very much decided to push the childish, vapid angle when it comes to big FF-related titles: Crisis Core, Advent Children, Dissidia, RW, FFT2:A, even the trailers for XIII and Vs, and of course the catalyst of the whole thing, Kingdom Hearts. There's been a very distinct change in tone since KH2. While simplistic concepts such as "light" and "darkness" worked in those games, they've kind of bled into the watering hole and contaminated everything ( ... )

I think perhaps you are right. Kingdom Hearts (personally I hate the game) seemed to have done a lot to change FF. At least as far as how the plots are perceived and the like. Dissidia doesn't bother me so much given I like the PR all characters are getting across the board, and a lot of the guys I spoke to felt the same way. Their biggest iffy bout was over FFVII related titles and yes KH.

They more or less believed Square was stupid for even wanting to make KH. Though it is popular they felt it hooked in these annoying fangirls, and even fanboys to a small extent. I do not know how much of that is true, perhaps the fangirl part but fanboys....I dunno ( ... )
