While I wholeheartedly disagree with the bastardization of the FFVII name, if you play Dirge of Cerberus instead of FFVII DOC, then it stands on on its own two feet as a good game. I always rip on FFX, but only because of the 'FF' that is placed in front of it. If it was called Tidus's Illusion or something else, then I would give it a lot more credit. It is wrong that Final Fantasy and VII are placd in the title of a lot of these games, but from an objective perspective, some of them have a lot to offer. However, when looking through Mako colored glasses, many of these games are vomit-inducing. Basically, Square now produces good, not great, but not poor games. As members of a group that enjoyed Square during its finest years, we can only complain until something they produce can compare to the golden past. As RPG connoisseurs, we feel an obligation to ridicule Square now, but unfortunately, the new generation is more lucretive than we were.
