#25  Indeed. The only thing VI could warrant would be a prequel, probably about the War of the Magi, but it lacks the other side of the equation: the popularity. Most FF games have everything cleaned up and tied into a neat little package at the end... but X and VII left you wondering. X had (SPOILER) and VII (SPOILER) . Those games practically begged for sequels, and I think it's safe to say VII might have gotten it's set a long time ago, if not for the financial woes of Squaresoft. And, just to clear a few things up, I do not hate VII. I dont love it, I find it to be a mediocre game. I do love many things about it though; Tifa is right below Terra as my favorite FF girl. I loved Chocobo Racing and Snowboarding, and I really enjoyed parts of the game. Things like this; games, movies, books, effect everyone differently. I was expecting another wonderful game like VI or IV, so I went into it biased. Many of those who had never played FF before perhaps went in with a different sort of bias, or none at all. But it effects everyone differently, and to expect everyone to love it is utterly ridiculous. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is, in my opinion, one of the only things worth seeing in the theatres, but not everyone loves it. That isnt a problem with me, however. As many of us have said, VII fanboys are a turn off. That does NOT mean the fans... lemme put it this way. When ShlupQuack, ButThePoncho, and I camped out for Star Wars Episode II, we came the night before. There were interesting and fun hardcore SW fans who had been there around the same time as us. People who understood faults in the movies, but still loved them and knew lots about them. And THEN there were the slathering. "SW RULEZ EVERYTHING ELSE SUX" folks that had been there for 2 months (dont get me wrong, I liked most of them, but do you see my point?). It's people who cant stop getting into the Tifa/Aerith argument, more accurately people who get very personal with it and freak out. It's people who talk about how every other FF male was a 'pussy' compared to Cloud. It's people who say "FFVII ROX EVERYTHING SUX" that are the problem. NOT VII fans in general. I ranted, but I just wanted to clear that up. edit: definitions of fan boy from urbandictionary.com, just so everyone is on the same page -A passionate fan of various elements of geek culture (e.g. sci-fi, comics, Star Wars, video games, anime, hobbits, Magic the Gathering, etc.), but who lets his passion override social graces. -Someone far beyond a simple fan. -I swear I didnt make this one up Was once used as a term "Male prepubescent teen whom loves something overly too much" but has been changed in the recent years. It now means "One who worships Final Fantasy 7" Fanboys are an Invasive Species. These deranged Netizens have bred and caused similar damage to the African Killer Bee and the Zebra Mussel. These people clog chatrooms, forums, and our bandwidth. Fanboys lack the ability to type coherent sentences and also lack the ability to pertain a train of thought outside of FF7. Often times, these pathetic beings will use names such as SSJCloud, XxXCloudXxX, or one of 10000 variations of the name "Sephiroth". These beings will breed (invite other fanboys) rapidly and move quickly. The damage that has been caused by these lost causes is no longer repairable. -Biased people who think that the things they worship about are the masters of the universe. However, since they are biased, they will constantly bash opposing things instead of thinking about it and stating its positive and negative attributes. -One who is obsessed with something and thinks people who don't like it are inferior. -A zealot or fanatic of a brand name, character, or product. Also known as otaku in Japanese. -One who is overobsessed with a particular game, movie series, or anime, to the point of calling anyone who says otherwise about said franchise inferior.

| Former Staff  | I agree with everything Ashley and Aaron posted. I think VI is the best Final Fantasy game. VII is alright, but it's not in my top 4 (which would be VI, IX, V and X). VI doesn't need a sequal because it's over. The ending wasn't all that confusing, and people are happy with it. If VII was so great people wouldn't be crying for sequals and remakes and whatnot. |

| Banned  | IX is the worst of the 1990-1999 series of Final Fantasy i never understood it though V was a hunk of crap but X i can understand it was a very good game, VI just didnt have the juice to satisfy me maybe if i played it earlier in my life and had a SNES i woulda loved it, sorry bout the hard oppinions i hope it doesnt upset you but this is just the oppinion from me. Destai notice the word REMAKE AC and Dc are sequels |

| Banned | but seeing the quality of X makes me want to play VII with that quality in Graphics and Music even Voice overs will be more than enough. the magazine was the OFFICIAL PS2 mag and we've known bout AC for the past 2 years, look Destai I know you say its a lack of proof and its crap and False but if it was in any other mag id feel the same but it was in the official PS2 Magazine so chances are the article was more than likely to be true |

| Banned  | Were you responding to me? Well anyway I want the remake because I love VII in general and I want to feel the magic again on the PS2 console with the graphics, reorchestrations, voice overs, character detail etc. that a game that brilliant deserves. I see your point and its a good one, I'll always love the original and in that sense Id much prefer the original to a sequel. The magazine either got the translations or the research wrong. Theyre the official PS2 mag, not Square-Enix who hasnt made any announcements about a remake. OPS2 can only spare so much interest per game and AC or DOC was printed as a remake instead of a sequel. S-E make the games. Not OPS2. Last edited by Destai; 02-10-2005 at 08:08 PM.. |
