I've played 7 and 8, but got stuck in both and really never continued on. I beat 9 all the way through, 10, 10-2. XII has me bored and it feels so used. its not Final Fantasy anymore. When I move out I want to go on ebay and buy all the games and guides and play them all. By that time though, the numbers will be 14ish and all the spin offs will amount to me having a lot of games (spin offs are like crystal chronicols, tactics, tactics advanced, KH).
Maybe the Japanese still love the series, but it feels like I'm watching it die.
