Listen closely, there is meaning in my words.

- Smooth Criminal
Well, yeah, no kidding. lol Might as well say we wouldn't have any concerns about a remake to discuss if they weren't making one.
Well my point is, if such a double standard is present, why indulge it when it could easily be accepted, just like the myriad of other FF plot devices that are named after lofty archetypes yet are not true examples of them at all?
And what bearing does that oddly named critter have on this discussion?
They were merely examples of spirit entities working to protect the Planet to show such entities like that are not without precedent.
A pass on what? Do you even know what point you're trying to make -- or what point you're responding to? =P
These last couple of points read like illustrations of "non sequitur."
....
I'm just going to take this as confirmation that you don't know what the topic we're discussing is. =P
My main point was that in those FFs you claimed were well-crafted stories, you have numerous instances of destiny or fate mentioned throughout their plot. Yet, that exact concept is actually not present at all. It's mentioned merely as dramatic flourish, and usually applied as a title to the schemes of others in control.
Just because the F word is mentioned or even referenced, doesn't cheapen or make a Final Fantasy cheesy at all. Those great stories by your own admission, are proof of it right there.
.... And FFVIII as the black sheep of the franchise? I always thought that was FFII.

No but seriously, I've never come across a lot of hate for FFVIII or denouncement for its story, except for maybe the plot twist regarding Edea's Orphanage. And it's usually included in the top 10 lists of most popular Final Fantasies.
As for XV... Yeah. It's received a good deal of scorn but that's for another topic.
Anyways that was the destination of my detour, so to speak.
