i bought Chrono trigger from the shops in the FF chronicles pack

I cant explain it, The PAL version was never created. If you have that upgrade (which thanks to you, Im seriously considering to buy) you should be able to use it but it shouldnt have been released in any shops in the UK. It was second hand I guess and traded in or something like that would be my guess.

well it was cheap meh musta been 2nd hand. My PS2 plays copied NTSC and Pal games aswell

I think most people are just bitter their beloved Final Fantasy VI didn't get the recognition they wanted. My opinion is that if Final Fantasy VI got the attention Final Fantasy VII gets they would have no complaint about Final Fantasy VII. So it's really all biased opinions. The fact of the matter is having played both, and once again stating that Final Fantasy VI was the game that began my love for Final Fantasy, both are excellent games and have good traditional game play with hours of fun. They are both different, with different backstories and characters. So to compare them to each other is foolish. They are both gems in their own right. Final Fantasy VII didn't get such high marks in both the United States and Japan because it wasn't good. It kicked much booty.

Yes, because if we dont like your game the best, we're obviously just bitter. Get off it, that's such a cop out explination. It's not my favorite because it's not my favorite. I've listed numerous reasons why it's not my favorite, as has everyone else. And all we get in return is 'You're just bitter'. How childish.

Okay- I might be repeating some stuff because I got here late, but I want to put my two bits in anyway.
First of all-
No FF game sucks. Plain and simple. They are all a notch over alot of games that say they're great. Let me get even clearer in that statement.
No Squaresoft game sucks for that matter. (Chrono Trigger rocked, so I had to add that in the mix.) So Hardcore FF7 fans who say-
"FF6 ARE TEH SUX0RZ" Have probably not even played the game.
Kinda like me hating broccoli as a kid cause I would'nt try it. Of course, Because of these FF7 fans spreading bad rumors because the others gave a different view have prevented alot of people from even trying the earlier releases.
That makes me sad.
And Secondly-
An RPG game is not about 'Better Graphics' or a 'Better Battle System'. It's all about one thing. Story, Story, Story. You may not realize it when you're playing, but all RPG's are- are stories.
Alot of people who've played FF6 (as stated by theabominatrix) went into FF7 with high expectations. Personally, I can't really say anything about FF7, as I have'nt played through all of it. (Because my grandma did something with disk 2&3.) Back to the point...
The FF6 people were kind of dissapointed, because they set their sights too high. That does'nt mean they all hated it. If you think that, then you're just stereotyping. But FF7 fans who don't want to play a game with 'Bad Graphics' or a 'slow battle system' are the worst. They are not true FF fans.

I started playing final fantasy on the 8th installment. Personally, because it was a gift from my mom (whom I do not see very often) FF8 holds a special spot in my heart. FF9 was the second one, and I loved that one as well. I love all of the FF games.
In short, all the Squaresoft games are winners. Just some more than others.

Last but not least-
Considering FF6 has such a complete ending, it does'nt need a sequel.
FF7 and 10 had loose ends to tie up, so they're more apt to sequels.
I have one thing to say though. I hated FFX-2. Period. Yes i've played it, And i hate it. It was probably the least successful of any of the Final Fantasies in any scope, except money. Squaresoft pulled a sucker punch on me, but I can forgive them.

Because I was borrowing it.


About KH- I would've rather fought Kefka. Kefka would've been a bit more fun to fight against. Now BOTH... That would rock.

EDIT- Now think about it, folks. If it were'nt for FF1 hitting so big in the olden days, we would'nt even be talking about this right now. Be greatful for the old ones.
EDIT 2- When I meant No FF game sucks, I meant ALMOST no FF game sucks. I forgot to add that.
I completly despise X-2.

Generally those who say stuff like that haven't played anything but FFVII.
