Why did Square stop creating interesting fantasy races in favor of sticking to just 'human' and 'human with tail and...

Holy shit I did not expect like Quina so much.
>frog drop and limit for easy 9999
>white wind for healing everyone
>mighty guard, while mp expensive, is pretty damn good and in the higher levels the cost won't matter as much. especially with amarant who can refill her mp and let her spam mighty guard all battle
>lv5 death for easy dragon grinding
>a lot of strong offensive spells
>actually taught me something i can use in real life (always cook for more people than you're expecting in case they want seconds)
Once you know how to work her? she's fantastic.

s/him

schlim/schler

Quina was a shit character and didn't add anything of value to the game. Literally all of her dialogue is some variation of "Me eat food lol"

Also her eat skill is incredibly annoying and tedious to use

>Amarant
>normal human
I thought he was some kind of beast man

Probably a throaway line like the did in FF7. It the "Passive progressive" method Disney uses.

>Also her eat skill is incredibly annoying and tedious to use

But the payoff is that she has the best skillset in the game.

>Everybody thinks that the Qu are a bunch of absolute weirdos
>But goddamn do you want one in your kitchen

This is the kind of fantasy shit I miss.

a) Square isn't just FF
b) Quina is for all intents and purposes a human in a funny suit, just like Red, there's nothing that distinguishes them from other characters mechanically
c) Play more games

Yeah she breaks the game and destroys any form of challenge

Unironically the best and most interesting character in the game, even if s/he has almost no effect on the plot whatsoever. I miss fun weird party members

kek, I took away that same line from quina

his name is some salamander pun but Ultimania says human.

>there's nothing that distinguishes them from other characters mechanically
Ah yes I forgot that all the other characters can learn enemy skills my eating them

>nothing that distinguishes them from other characters mechanically
>in a game with a fixed job system

Nothing in the actual game would reference it but there would be landfills of fanart of him/her holding pride flags with people calling him/her a non-binary icon or whatever.

You know why they stopped, you know that IX was an intentional love letter to the old ways of Final Fantasy before fully embracing a more real world aesthetic for it's worlds. Square felt right to do so as well, considering IX saw sales figuree drop significantly, only to rise again with the more "realistic" FFX

they're just genderless frog clown things, not weirdo sex pests

because they cant stop sucking nomuras dick
the good designs stopped at 7.

>thinking that matters to these people

this post made me sad
I miss traditional fantasy style games, where did they all go? The AAA scene has all but abandoned them, and the indie scene doesn't give a fuck. Am I going to have to subsist solely on squeenix spinoff games for the rest of my life?

because i dont masturbate to quina i masturbate to fran

You say stop like the earlier games in the series had them as cast members.

VI, VII, IX and X are the only games in the series that had fantasy race characters in their main casts. (XIV to a lesser extent too at least but its an MMO)

Well maybe they shouldn't have released a PS1 game in the year 2000 and also not announce the next game for PS2 AT THE SAME TIME
