There are three things that I truly hate in life. One is whiny, prepubescent kids. One is sequels. The last one is remakes. Until now, I was okay with the Final Fantasy series, because it only had two factors on this list - kids and sequels - and because it never actually impacted my life.

Well, that ends today. They're finally considering remakes for Final Fantasy 7. Now, I might have let this slide, but Final Fantasy has done enough already. With the biggest continuous series in the history of video games, and one of the most confusing numbering systems, you'd think that by now, the developers would give it up. With remakes for the first 3 games, it gives them even more reason to quit while they're ahead.

It doesn't help the case that the gameplay for the series hasn't really changed. At all. It's always been a turn-based RPG with a recycled plot. I'm getting pretty sick of what must be the biggest cash scheme of all time. Just give it up, Enix.
