The Misconsception of Open World in Final Fantasy

Hey guys welcome back to my page!  Today I wanted to write an opinion piece in relation to a common problem I see pop up when people discuss Final Fantasy.  Now a lot of fans around their mid-20’s and higher will claim that the golden age of Final Fantasy titles was in the 90’s.  The 8-bit and 16-bit era of JRPG goodness and the exciting world of “3D”.  Now I don’t disagree.  All those titles were definitely fantastic!  But I rarely look as the series as a whole when a title drops.  I typically don’t compare a new installation to the previous entries.  I listen to a lot of people debate the decline of “good” Final Fantasy titles.
