Oh yes, they care way more about FF. They like the crystal theme that goes along with it. I was cool with the FF games through FFX, but FFX was really their last truly great FF IMO. Sure, they've had some but they just can't come close. I think it's been a major problem with the characters and the combat systems since.
FF7 had meh characters for me, amazing combat.
FF8 had amazing characters, pretty meh combat.
FF9 I haven't played enough to really know. Combat seemed good though. Characters were fine.
FFX had pretty good characters, really nicely done combat.
FFXI An MMO, shouldn't have taken a number title. Never played it.
FFXII had pretty bad combat, extremely flat characters.
FFXIII seems to have okay characters, maybe good combat?
FFXIV Another MMO, felt rushed, poorly designed and a cash grab. Never should have had a number title either.
Ooops, sorry for my FF rant...
Anyways, I thought Chrono Trigger came out before it, and more of encompasses the whole world of Chrono, but leaves CC stuff alone. I'm not sure quite how everything works out, but then again, I haven't played the game.
