a real ff fan lets others enjoy the franchise without being gatekeepers.

I've got two friends of mine that have played mostly all the mainline titles except for XI and XIV.

I've played all as well, and XI and XIV.

Let a fan be a fan. Don't try and shove an MMO down someone else's throat - even if you think they should like it. It's not everyone's cup of tea.

i have no problem with someone who doesn't like MMOs calling themselves a fan. or a "real" fan, for that matter. i would hope that they at least tried them.

but i do take issue with people who say things like "i played/completed every final fantasy game" but somehow that list will omit the MMORPGs because its not convenient for them to make the claim otherwise. i call out that kind of bullshit.

Nah more like “I play every FF” but then turns out they only play the “real FF” which are 7-10 at best. Then have the gall to come around and say that FF is no longer what it used to be and scoff at FFXVI for betraying the FF formula.
