Hello unknown person and welcome to the world of Coolawits. IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS IN OASIS (if this page looks terribly squashed - you are) PLEASE CLICK HERE
Hi everyone. My name is Coolawits and I am a Fanfic-writer extrodinare. I am a guy who has just joined recently - both this Wiki and the Final Fantasy universe in itself. I've been into Final Fantasy since about 2009 and am loving the whole idea of it. I'm not a massive editing guy but will do my fair share now and then. I am mad about Dissidia and Dissidia 012 Duodecim and find both to be great games. I think I'm alright at it - not a master, not by any means - but alright with about 1/2 of my characters at SSS rating and I like to think that my Kuja is amazing if I may say so myself. And to those of you who are jealous that your parents never called you "Coolawits" well, even my parents didn't - my actual name is Ashwin!
I'm almost definite that loads of you will disagree with my opinion, but here it is anyways. In my opinion, FFXIII and XIII-2 rocked. Yes, they weren't the traditional FF game. Yes, they weren't perfect. But the gaming market has changed since they days of the "traditional" FF. Now a days, people don't want pure turn based combat. If you look at practically all RPGs that started out as Turn Based Combat games, almost none are left anywhere near those roots. Phantasy Star, for example, has progressed from TBC game play to more action orientated. You all crave another "traditional" FF game, but it isn't practical. From what I can see, FFVI, FFVII and FFIX are everyone's "perfect" FFs. In that case, imagine FFXIII with combat like that - beautiful graphics, amazing voice acting, perfect soundtrack, immense storyline - don't you think snail paced combat would let it down? The point is, SquEnx are trying desperately hard not to abandon RPG gaming. People don't rave about RPGs anymore. Gamers - especially modern gamers - want action. Those who played the original FFs throughout their teens may crave games like that, but looking to expand towards the future and keeping the FF franchise new and appealing to the current and future generations requires adapting to what they like. If FFs went back to "original" FFs now, FF would die out and people wouldn't buy it. SquEnx keep putting out traditional-esque FFs on iOS and Android because they suit that format perfectly. But PS3/360 requires cinematic combat, action and complex battle systems. FF has had to evolve from the old days as it isn't practical to remain that way. Try remembering what lies at the heart of every FF. Being engrossed in a vivid, rich storyline and having fun playing it. FFXIII and XIII-2 did that for me and I am certain LR will too. Original fans may not want FFXIII and XIII-2 and may want back the old ones, but that isn't the voice of current, younger gamers. Just because it isn't a stereotypical FF, doesn't mean it's a rubbish game. If FFXIII was called something else - if it didn't have that "FF" before it - people would be singing its praises. FF is not what it used to be because of current gamer's wishes. Deal with it. Just because it breaks the mold, doesn't mean its bad. It's modern, it's evolved, and it's epic.

Upon embarking on this momentous journey of mine throughout this noble wiki I appreciate that it is my duty to add to it by editing and improving this wiki and I am going to record down each momentous edit on this table, to commemorate my addition to this wiki.
