Yeah, but FF13 was finished. I can't forgive the last few chapters of FFXV, they just stopped development there and called it quits. I am 100% sure the team wanted to create the game they wanted, but SE executives didn't let them. It would have been much better in the end and sold even more. Anyway, I liked Nomura-san's original darker vision much more. SE should do a management restructuring and think of what made them great in the first place. It was the squaresoft attitude that is completely absent from the company now, just as much as the talent has fled it. Nobody wants to work there anymore in Japan.

I would completely disagree. FF13 was too linear BUT it was super polished, better story, better characters, fun battle system, and definitely a better world. FF15 was a huge empty map filled with copy and pasted truck stops. Just making something bigger or open world doesn't make it better.

@Delicious Lol, 13 has the worst characters by far in the franchise. Their dialogue was so poorly put together and extraordinarily annoying even for FF standards. Especially Snow with his constant “We’re the hero’s!” crap 24/7. Then there’s Vanille who won’t shut tf up with her weird yells and poorly written obliviousness. 15 actually has some of the best given the dialogue compared to past entries. One of the best villains and protags.
