10 YEARS? Wow... Look I've got no problems with spinoffs really. I mean Final Fantasy itself has been getting spun off for twice that time, and there's Mario, Zelda, Megaman. We eat up spinoffs. But seriously, when you have names like "Final Fantasy X-2", well, it's retarded. I think at some point they should have the guts to retire the name at least. It's not like they will retire anything else. It may even give the illusion that they are constantly making new IPs considering the nature of Final Fantasy. At least that way if they decide to stretch one of these games out into a million spinoffs, the names won't sound retarded.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
