Maybe it's because Final Fantasy peaked at VII-X and went downhill from there, fucking up their combat further and further with every installment?
I would agree, but XIV (the MMO) moved so far off the norm that I don't really count it with the others. It managed to handle things pretty well, and was stomachable even if the combat mechanics aren't often what draw people in.
Well, yeah, XIV as an MMO is a different thing. But that one also doesn't have revenue issues afaik.
