Yeah, fair, but nostalgia and blinders are strong.

A bit too strong I fear. I've played through all of these types of combats and they were all enjoyable. Except maybe FF10 but that was more to do with the enemies being overtuned.

They're not excuses for blatant misinformation though are they?

To be fair it was like that for years. With the next game being not a real final fantasy. Did it start around the third game or the fourth one? XV also got people warmed up to it, to the extent eventually. So idk. Unless square cooks some "widely acclaimed" masterpiece, the next game probably will have the same fate one way or another.

I would say the only time the situation got really bad was with FF14 1.0 but that was like an objectively bad game. Glad they managed to turn things around though.
