Final Fantasy or Final Shot?!

So as most of gamers know (and for those how who don't) the newest edition to the Final Fantasy installment just came in. Now I have to say I'm not the hugest fan of FF, mainly because after FFX in my opinion just went down from there. But like I said I have played a few them. Me personally, I like FFVII & FFX were the best. But unlike the other releases this time the game was released in a desperate attempt to try and bring in the competition of newer spin offs of the game Mass Effect 2 & Fallout 3. Its been four years since the last FF game came out. Though it has been marked as one of the longest and highest grossing games ever, with such new games as Mass Effect & Fallout reinventing the way multi player gaming world. Its hard to believe if this FF will have the same impact as its previous versions. Reason being, before it was the game with mind blowing graphics and the ability to get you trapped in this fantasy. Now times are changing and games are catching up to the depth this great franchise. No longer if is the game that developers are trying to duplicate but FF now has to bring it once again to the playing field and out do the competition. From what I have played so far I'm not so sure it will live up to the hype, but we will have to wait and see.
