By your logic, any RPG with a good plot could be a Final Fantasy game. And since XI (XI, XII, XIII, XIV - four games in the main series with uninteresting plots) it isn't even true anymore.
I still don't understand why people claimed that Final Fantasy Versus XIII would be the game Square needed to please its fans. The trailers made it look like XIII only with characters that seemed more serious. Turning it into XV made nothing to erase this feeling.
I tried to like Dark Souls, but the terrible controls and buggy physics made me uninstall it and never look back.
Silver? No.
It's certainly prettier, but I still didn't see anything that justifies all the time they're taking to release it. Even though I really don't like Zelda, the new Wind Waker HD edition is the only "HD Remaster" that doesn't seem like a cash-grab.
I could never understand all the talk about it when it was revealed. It was always so obvious that it would fail...
The same thing with Kinect or PlayStation Home. There are somethings that I just don't understand why people get so excited about and those things usually fail.
I'd only want one for free if there was someone interested in buying from me so I could get rid of it ASAP. But I don't know any living soul who wants one...
So will we be able to play offline on PC, too?
Well, the ports of 3, 4 and 5 were good. Dimensions wasn't bad either (even though I didn't finish it).
Everybody says about hinges breaking, but there's one single reason I think it's much more important to justify its removal. That hinge is a freaking finger killer. I hurt my finger on it 3 or 4 times. And it also happened to some of my friends.
Sonic Generations is coming to 3DS eShop? Really? I was actually looking for it on stores.

This must be the most stupid thing I ever saw on the Internet.
So when erasing Soul Calibur 3's save data corrupted your whole memory card, you said what about console games?
It seems like every console launch has the "best launch line up ever" and after 3 months there are tons of articles saying "where are the games?".
Bought the Vita version when I was in Japan (because of the heavy advertising and the fact that I bought a Vita there two days before), but after playing some of the songs, I realized that vocaloid voices really aren't my cup of tea. And the scratch notes were a terrible idea.
I wanted to finish it, but I couldn't stand the battle system anymore. Every boss battle was a 1-on-1 between the boss and Oliver, because even with the strongest monsters and me changing between "all-out attack" and defense, the stupid AI controlled characters died so freaking easily.
And I have many other games to play, so I'd rather use my time playing them instead of a game that I already saw I really don't like. That's why it'll be faster to...
I loved Yakuza 3, and bought Yakuza 4, but I didn't like 4 as much as 3. I don't know, dividing the game between 4 characters wasn't the best idea. It made me not really want to play 5.
I have consoles (Wii U, PS3, 3DS, Vita) for some exclusives, mainly the Nintendo ones (Sony's biggest exclusives, like Uncharted, God of War, LittleBigPlanet and Gran Turismo don't really appeal to me). But all multiplatform games I prefer to buy on PC. It's cheaper, with better resolution, framerate, sometimes other graphical effects, most of them I can play in 3D...
Even games that I thought were supposed to be console-exclusives, like King of Fighters XIII, the...
Actually, I didn't read the plot line because I didn't really care anymore. But I had suspicions that [SPOILERS] Shadar was Oliver's other self [/SPOILERS] and a friend of mine who played the game told me I was right. Maybe someday I'll ask him who the White Witch was and how Oliver revived his mother.
By my logic? I didn't even say anything about what I think makes or not a FF game. You're the one who tried to define it ("It's also defined by it's characters, settings, and deep storylines").
And I also didn't say anything about XV's plot being like the ones after X. I just pointed that it's a trend that even "deep storylines" can't be used to say if a game "deserves" the name Final Fantasy.
And ...
