Well, i do like ffVII. Hell, i even love the game. It was not only my introduction into the final fantasy series, but also my introduction into RPG's all together. And for that, i will always love FF7. But, i would not say its my favorite FF. Now, i have never really played any ff before 7 so i can only speak about 7 on up. i accually like FF8 better than ff7. And on top of that, i like Xenogears better than both of them.
you really have to give ff7 credit where its due though. I mean, it single handedly brought rpg's into the forefront of gaming. If it wasnt for FF7, there would be so many rpg's that would have never made it to our shores. I mean, some of the final fantasy games never even got released here. But after ff7, Ever ff is garuanteed a states-side release.
And you cant really comment on how bad teh graphics where. i mean, at the time, it was teh best looking rpg ever. Even with the funny deformed charecters. It looked way better than anything out there. Comment on the graphics now would be pointless.
Ff7 was really hyped though. I mean, i couldnt drink a can of pepsi without seeing cloud's face on it.
Man, now that i think about it. FF7 was really great. I mean, The whole game started off so simple and then turned into something so much more. Like i really thought i was gonna spend all game blowing up those damn reactors. I had no idea what a world map was. Airship!? what was that!? It was all so new. Which kinda leads me too my point. You cant really be too mad at a person who loves ff7. Especially if it was the first ff/rpg they had ever played. It was a whole bunch of new experiences at once. Of course those who played past ff's and other rpg's before it kinda knew what to expect. But for those who were like me. I had no clue. I cant stop playing rpg's now. Hell, im willing to wager that if it wasnt for ff7, we wouldnt probably even be on this forum. I dont remember seeing a whole lotta FF forums before 7 came out.
but like i said, i like XG better than ff7 anyway.
While ff7 was like a good movie. XG was like a good anime. and i just love anime. (UhOh! anime fanboi!@!@!@!!@@@!!!) |
