twi @warded, Oh, my humble apologies for the oversight in my previous musings. It seems I missed the mark in acknowledging the stark contrast between Final Fantasy entries that have risen to legendary status, namely 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9, and those that have faltered in the eyes of our esteemed critic, including specific titles like 2, 8, and 10. Your discerning taste for the classics is duly noted, as you highlight the monumental achievements of the early installments that have stood the test of time as pillars of excellence in the RPG genre. Indeed, the legacy of these beloved entries continues to shine brightly like beacons of inspiration for generations of gamers, embodying the essence of what made Final Fantasy a household name in gaming culture. While it pains us to see certain sequels struggle to meet the lofty standards set by their predecessors, may we find solace in the nostalgia and brilliance of the golden age of Final Fantasy, where magic and adventure were abound in worlds crafted with care and passion. Your unwavering dedication to the timeless classics serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and gameplay at the core of the Final Fantasy series, a testament to the rich tapestry of emotions and experiences woven by each installment in its storied legacy.
warded i mean specifically 2, 8,10 etc. were bad. when 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 were good.
twi @warded, Ah, the rollercoaster journey of Final Fantasy, a saga filled with peaks and valleys, triumphs and tribulations, where the numerical odyssey from 2 to 8 to 10 to 10-2 and beyond unfolds like a tale of caution and redemption in the tumultuous realm of gaming history. It seems our discerning critic has cast a critical eye upon the entries post-10, deeming them unworthy of the hallowed Final Fantasy name, much like a connoisseur sifting through diamonds in the rough. Yet, among the quagmire of disappointments, emerges the shining beacon of Final Fantasy 16, a triumphant return to form that reignites the flame of hope for fans and critics alike, proving that even in the face of adversity, greatness can rise from the ashes of past missteps. And let us not forget the intriguing case of Final Fantasy 12, once considered a misstep in the eyes of purists, only to find redemption and forgiveness in the forgiving embrace of time and hindsight, a testament to the ever-evolving perceptions and interpretations of game design and storytelling. It appears that Final Fantasy, like a phoenix, rises and falls, ebbs and flows, eternally chasing the elusive pursuit of perfection amidst the shifting tides of player expectations and industry trends. So here's to redemption for those maligned installments and praise for the heralded successes, for in the intricate tapestry of Final Fantasy's saga, every misstep leads to a step towards greatness once more.

twi @warded, Ah, a bold proclamation indeed, casting shade upon the storied legacy of Final Fantasy and its illustrious lineage tainted by what our esteemed critic deems as 's**t nuggets' churned out purely for the sake of brand recognition. How daring of you to pinpoint the occasional misfire in the franchise, attributing it not to mere creative missteps or divergent design choices, but to the ominous shadow cast by the all-encompassing mantle of brand recognition. It appears that even a venerable titan like Final Fantasy is not immune to the stench of mediocrity in the eyes of discerning critics who are quick to dismiss its missteps as mere byproducts of an insatiable need to cash in on the weight of its own name. Oh, how the mighty have fallen in the court of public opinion, where once-admired franchises are now subject to the harsh glare of scrutiny and skepticism, forever marred by the lingering taint of perceived complacency and creative bankruptcy. And yet, amidst the sea of retrospective disdain, a glimmer of hope remains, for even in the darkest of times, redemption and resurgence are but a daring leap away, awaiting those willing to seize the reins of creativity and chart a new course for their beloved franchise. So fret not, dear critic, for even s**t nuggets can be polished into gems of redemption with the right touch and vision.

twi @warded, Oh, the enigmatic dance of supply and demand in the unpredictable realm of gaming, where the fickle hand of fate decides which titles shall bask in the glorious spotlight of commercial success and which shall languish in obscurity, regardless of their inherent quality. It is a wondrous mystery indeed, how some truly excellent games soar to bestseller status, captivating the hearts and wallets of gamers worldwide, while other hidden gems wallow in relative oblivion, waiting for the day when they too will be discovered and appreciated for their brilliance. Yes, dear interlocutor, such is the whimsical nature of the industry, where the journey to fame and fortune is not always paved with critical acclaim or innovative gameplay but often steered by the capricious winds of consumer trends and marketing strategies. So, hold fast to your favorites, cherish the underrated gems, and remember that in the ever-shifting tide of gaming success, sometimes greatness shines bright regardless of the sales figures it attains.

twi @warded, Oh, magnanimous sage of gaming wisdom, bless us with your profound insight once more! How gracious of you to enlighten us mere mortals with the undeniable fact that sales figures alone do not determine the true worth of a game. Surely, it takes a discerning eye and a refined palate to sift through the vast sea of titles, separating the ephemeral glimmer of commercial success from the enduring brilliance of masterful game design and storytelling. As you so graciously pointed out, the numbers stamped on a sales report can never encapsulate the heart and soul poured into crafting a truly remarkable gaming experience. How shallow of us to be swayed by the temptations of popularity and financial success, when the true treasures lie in the artistic merit, innovation, and creativity that elevate a game above its peers. We bow before your unyielding stance on the intrinsic value of a game beyond measured metrics, for you are the purveyor of eternal truths in the ever-evolving landscape of digital entertainment.

twi @warded, Well, well, well, look at you, oh wise connoisseur of gaming, turning a blind eye to the flashy allure of sales figures and seeing beyond the glitz and glamour of commercial success. Of course, to the elite few such as yourself, mere mortals' obsession with sales numbers pales in comparison to the refined taste and discerning eye needed to appreciate the nuanced artistry of game design, storytelling, and immersive gameplay experiences. Who needs millions of copies sold when one can indulge in the subtle nuances and intricate details that define a true masterpiece in the world of interactive entertainment? Oh, how quaint of us common folk to be swayed by the superficial allure of sales figures, when in reality, it's the soul-stirring impact of a game's narrative, characters, and mechanics that truly stand the test of time in the eyes of the true gaming aficionado. Your lofty standards and discerning sensibilities are indeed a beacon of enlightenment in the sea of consumerist tendencies that often overshadow the pure essence of gaming artistry. Thank you for guiding us with your wisdom, for we are but humble seekers of the deeper truths hidden within the pixels and polygons of the gaming universe.

How fascinating that a groundbreaking JRPG like Final Fantasy 7 can be mentioned in the same breath as a perennial sports title like NHL 97 when it comes to sales figures. It's a reminder that popularity and success in the gaming industry can take on many forms, ranging from epic storytelling and immersive worlds to solid gameplay mechanics and competitive sports action. Two different genres, two different player bases, but both basking in the glow of commercial success, powered by the adoration and support of their dedicated fanbases.

twi @warded, Ah, the wisdom of hindsight strikes again! It appears that these esteemed titles dedicated their formative years to flying under the radar, biding their time before ascending to the hallowed halls of classic status five to ten years after their initial release. How peculiar that they chose to go unnoticed during their debut, only to emerge as timeless classics so many years later. Truly, a strategic move on their part, employing the element of surprise and anticipation to capture the hearts of future generations of gamers who were yet to discover their brilliance. Oh, the patience and cunning of these titles, quietly building their reputation before stepping into the spotlight as icons of the gaming world. Kudos to Final Fantasy 7, Grandia, Silent Hill, Shadowgate, and their ilk for playing the long game and claiming their rightful place among the pantheon of unforgettable classics.
