Exactly. The obsessive fanboys made FFVII horrible. The reason most other FFs aren't as popular is because half the FF fans out there got into the series because of FFVII. So, the stupid FFVII fanboys didn't like it because it wasn't similar to FFVII, like they expected it to be.

But now I see FFVI becoming lamer as the days go by, because of the arrogant old-school gamers who worship it and listen to no one's opinion. "Oh, look. I'm wise and cool, because I don't like the newer part of the series. I'm stuck in the past. What's that? Cell phone, CD? I think I'll just listen to my A-Track and play FFVI." I mean seriously, it's pretty ignorant when you don't even see that you're as bad as the FFVII fanboys.

Another group of gamers are the graphics-whor3s, who don't really piss me off as much as the FFVII and FFVI fanboys because they aren't as annoying about it. They should add a little variety in their games, but it's the new generation and graphics aren't going to get worse. So it doesn't really matter if they hate older games. They'll all eventually be remade anyway.

I love VI but I much prefer VII's modern theme which hadnt been done in any FF before that.Even in IX I really disliked the medieval theme. Also it was a much darker setting and personally I loved the characters and the fantastic soundtrack. My biggest fault with VI is I find alot of it unenjoyable as with most/all of the past FF's with there blocky battle system. The only game before VII whos battle system I thought was impressive was Dawn of Souls, surely they could've managed similar on a PS1? VII's was just more fun and I loved the materia system.

well how come 6 doesnt have any sequels or movies created out of it then? i much prefer 7 because 6 was to slow of a game for my liking while 7 slightly got me a refill on speed it was nearing disc 2 that it gottten the best 6 was average all the way through i more than 8 which is very good but 7 gets my vote, im not even mentioning remake as many ppl bash me saying im full of crap or usually be very mean to me (literally) but i know 6 was a very good game but it wasnt the best of the ff series.


1. Final Fantasy VII
2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Final Fantasy VIII

VI doesn't have sequels in the works because it wasn't as commercially successful as VII. Also, the demographic of the audiences of the two games means that FFVII has a lot of fanboys saying "FFVII RULZ I WANT MOAR CEFIROTH," while this type of fanboy is comparatively uncommon amongst FFVI's audience. Square is a company, and companies try to make money. It would be more profitable to make a bunch of FFVII sequels than to make a single FFVI sequel. Simple, really.

Would you say a lot of VI fans despise VII?

[The Man]

I wouldn't know, but I personally don't despise any game; despise is an awfully strong word, stronger even than hate ;p

NO. I'm a VI fan and a VII fan, and an VIII fan, and a IX fan, wait a second, I'm an FF fan. I love basicalyl every FF game. I mean they all had their strong points.

When I meet someone who loves FFVII I ask if they played the old ones, if they say no, I don't say, hey you suck, I say, well you should they're all really good. In fact I own some version of all of them (except III) and have FFI-VIII on my computer, yes all the Final Fantasy games made through VIII are on my computer and I offer them to anyone to play. I mean I do own them all (except III) so they're all legal (except III). AH what the hell, hurry up and release III state side!!!

But yeah, it's not the FFVII fans that annoy me, it's people who claim to be fans of the whole series, but haven't played the ones before VII. I mean, that's like being a bandwagon fan for football or something, like becoming a Patriots fan(WOOHOO Dynasty!!) after they won their first superbowl. Oh, and I'm not a bandwagon patriots fan either, I'm from MA and my Dad has had season tickets for 35 years and I've been going to games as far back as I remember.

SO yeah, people I hate are fans of series, who haven't played the entire series. Oh, and people who think graphics make a game, they can help it a ton, but not make it. Oh yeah, did I mention that in every poll the game with the best graphics of all time was voted Metroid Prime. HAHAHA, makes me laugh at all the people who say GameCube graphics suck, HAHAHAHA. (sorry that was off topic)
