FFVI makes me think Industrial revolution.

[TheAbominatrix]

Yeah, it's most certainly that sort of era.

I may have been harsh to a point, to which I apologise, blame work. My point was that so many people ignore this games pro's simply because too many other people acknowledge them. Whether or not it is a fanboy magnet that should not be allowed to cloud your judgement on the game, you become a sheep to your hate & lose your own power of judgement.
This game is in my top 3 FF's VI was my first & I hold it dear in my heart but FVII when I bought it in 1997 simply blew me away, it may also hold sentemental value as it reminds me of a time when everything around me was golden, and for that, it remains golden.
As Seph wisely said, this is subjective and will never be an argument that can be won or lost. My intentions were not to insult, just to tell it from my eyes.

Be Good PPL

About the Industrial Revolution thing:

I get that vibe as well, along with a general revolution feel in many aspects. Consider the changes the state of the world goes through during the course of the game.

And believe me, you have done a far better job at keeping your cool than many people, and you've done a good job by pointing out that you played and enjoyed FFVI prior to playing FFVII. It goes along with what I said about some people genuinely liking it better while still having played the rest of the series.

Late again

This is true, but I dont see anyone ignoring the games pros in this thread. Anyone who has said that VII isnt their favorite has also said that it isnt a horrid game, and some have even listed reasons why.

And dont worry about being insulting, it happens to the best of us <3

"The greatest game ever," is just a title given to the game by some crazed reviewer to hype up media on it. I found many things about it that were superb, and many things I didn't like. Quite frankly, I see FFVI as a much better game than VII in many aspects, but that's just my opinion.

We should all gather around the bonfire and toast marshmallows instead. Everyone loves marshmallows.
