You're right, Shadow. I guess I'm not a true enthusiast, I'm just a wannabe. [in tears]
But by the end of the decade, I swear I will make that revised ver. and then I'm gonna shove down your throat and make you like it! 'Cause I'm Mercen-X!!!!

Don't hate me! I'm just a scared, confused 20-yr-old kid who still lives with his parents. I only pick at the negative parts of things so I see how it can be better because I don't know how to better myself. Every time I try, I seem to fail. I sometimes feel like FF is all I have and it's like a kid to me. Despite its already being fully grown and developed I still want it to be better. That's how it is being a parent. Trust me, my mom and dad grind me about that everyday.

My, you have me in tears. Not saying you but I wish that all ff7 fans would give up that idea of a revised edition. You dont all the ff9,8,6, fans crying for massive overhauls of THOSE games do you?

My, you have me in tears.

thx
I appreciate Final Fantasy VII because it really got me through a hard time. As it is that I am so dreadfully IMperfect just like the rest of the world, I feel like something that is this easy to upgrade should be. I guess instead of focusing my energy on trying to better a damn game, I should look what I can do about reality.

yeah people dont want overhaul of those games cause they were released quite recently (in comparison to ff7) and the graphics were at the end of the ps1 so they will be top notch at the time

Everyone has a difference in opinion. Some people can't appreciate some of the things that happen in VII, some can't overlook its graphics, and others love it for all the good things it has. Personally, it's not my favorite game in the series, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, the only one I'd profess to actually hate is VIII. I'd rather play virtually any other game before it. I think some people are insane to be able to overlook the absolutely MASSIVE flaws in the story and character of VIII, but, then, maybe some people hate VII for exactly the same reason. Cloud's all fine and dandy as a hero, but is definitely lacking in personality. I think the majority of people who dislike VII are the ones who want super-duper graphics and voice acting and the like, but, of course, there are those who just don't connect with it, and that's fine. If everyone was the same, there'd really be no point in talking about it.

Kinda like, "I like to hear myself talk." Only, I hate my voice. lol

My only prob w/FF8 was the PS pocket thing, that was both lame and unfair. I also didn't like boosting GF's. Squall and Seifer and their ongoing rivalry was probably the game's only saving grace for me.

As for FF7's graphics . . . definitely. I'm the kinda kid who despises the atari and nintendo even though I grew up on them. I'm the kinda kid who likes something when it's new, but hates it the second something better comes along. I'm a gutter-snob. (that's an oxymoron) lol lol lol

i agree with you there but im one of those people that take things as they are (usually) bt i reckon voice acting isnt all that good makes it tedious when your replaying and you already know what they gona say...ooo im gona dread who they pick for cloud in ff:ac
