When you start milking a story like a franchise and adding all kinds of inconsequential things and characters, it cheapens things.

Exactly.

I mean, FFX was nice and all, but did we really need FFX-2?

It's really the dinero that Square's in this for with the Compilation. They could care less about the integrity of the series, as far as I'm concerned they're only making the shitty spin-off games and plotless movies of FF7 to cash in on horny fangirls who steal mommy and daddy's credit cards and "nostalgia". Who cares about throwing in Genesis*Sentry or the Underground people from DOC? As long as it makes 'em money, they'll keep churning it out.

But then again, they wouldn't be a self-respecting company if they DIDN'T cash in on that, wouldn't they?

I suppose not. But sometimes I get optimistic and want to believe that Japanese game makers are in it for the love as much as the cash.

Dirge of Cerberus was pretty bad, and I didn't care for the villains of AC like some people do... but I'm all over Crisis Core. Am I just another sucker, I wonder?

Naw. Despite what I may say about the Compilation spin-offs, I think Crisis Core is quite interesting IMHO. I've always wondered what was up with Zack, so maybe I'll have to borrow my little brother's PSP just to play CC at some point.

And I'd like to think that too. =( I guess maybe that's just me being a jaded gamer who's been disilusioned with English developers/publishers in general lately.
