Rare misstep? Oh please. Everything from FFVII onwards has been ok at best and awful at worst, apart from FFIX, FFXII and Dissidia 012. Instead of trying to fix their latest turkey, they should be focusing on making a good single-player story. That's what FF was best at before FFVIII rolled around and nearly ruined the series. Besides, it doesn't matter if they make it the best game ever, no-one but the die-hard FF fans are gonna play it because it was so broken the first time around.
