The FF games you loved were created by the two talents at the heart of FF: series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu. They left after X. I think the soul of the franchise left when these two did.
I played FF12 about 12 years ago and I couldn't name you a single character (or remember their personality/story) or hum a single music track. I played FF7 25 years ago and there's a few music tracks I still remember, and I can name most of the characters (though it helps that they're popular in gaming culture).
- drawfloat 3y agoI replayed 12 a couple of years ago, the new Zodiac Age version. The quality of life changes in that have made it a significantly more enjoyable game, you can see now what they were aiming for and where they were up against the limits of the PS2. Story is still a bit of a mess, pacing wise, but its voice acting has aged well (unlike X). It’s a different game to the classic run, but I would rank it up amongst my favourites in the series now.

The world also moved on; while my kids did play FF6 recently, there's a lot of treadmill crap that modern gamers are not accustomed to. I played The Last Story (which was a commercial failure), and it felt a whole lot like FF9 to me.
