"A bold stand, but a misguided one. In so taking it, you have but proven our point. That this land is in desperate need of cleansing."

You're inside your FF bubble. These games are indeed 7/10 ish.

Look at the Steam reviews for modern FF and see how close the scores all are to each other. Almost all hovering in the 70s. Whether it's VII Rebirth or XVI or XIII or SoP. Look at how much criticism VII Rebirth receives every day for being "Ubisoft", or "padded". Look at how much criticism XVI receives every day for the "tired gameplay" and being "forgettable".

I love this series, I buy these games and enjoy almost all of them. I rate them very highly personally. But I will never ever deny that this shit is just not for everyone.
