I knew this was going to happen from the beginning. Sakaguchi moving away from the Final Fantasy franchise to work on non-PlayStation projects, the Nomura taking creative control of the franchise, and Final Fantasy XII being for the series what the wonderful Final Fantasy IX was: an "alternative" Final Fantasy game, developed by a relatively unusual creative team to let the more "mainstream" team develop a new installment (and demos) for the next-generation console. While I understand Square Enix's need to invest in safe projects, I am really unimpressed by the announcements regarding these new Final Fantasy games; we will obviously cover these games in the new PsFantasy.com, but I would like to focus our efforts in supporting more creative and intriguing RPGs.
