Compared to other games nowadays, Final Fantasy isn't as engaging as it once was. I DID enjoy Final Fantasy XIII, but it certainly was no Final Fantasy VII. It had a disappointing lack of freedom and exploration. The story wasn't terrible, and it looked amazing but it was very linear, which is completely unlike any of the other Final Fantasy games.

I will, however, continue to buy and play any future Final Fantasy game that is compatible with the consoles I own. One game (or a few out of the large series that is Final Fantasy) won't ruin my appetite for more games, remakes or re-releases.
