Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why Final Fantasy VI will always be better than VII

Areym on 08 February 2011

Graphics aren't everything. Look at the ocarina of time, it looks like crap but people still call it the greatest game of all times and the best zelda game.

Runic did what it was supposed to do if that's what you meant but it was never actually useful.  If I remember correctly, runic absorbs your spells too which means nobody can cast spells that round.  It's useful if she needs a quick MP boost for whatever reason but beyond that, it's not that good.

Yeah. Runic absorbs the spells but just one time... making the possibility do create strategies way too huge... I can't play without Runic/Morph/Steal but I can paly without Blits or Tool.

I can absorbs the enemy spell... cast my spell or steal or direct attack... or vice-versa... the Runic make the battle better, easy and funny... just need create the better strategy do use it.

And Morph destroy everything in the game (Terra became fucking overpower in Morph form)... Blitz and Tool not... and Blitz >>>>>>>>>> Tool (I don't like tool).

FFVI offers to player many ways to play ... and is needed to play with all characters (needed 3 groups at the end and in other parts 2) ... strategy is the basis of gameplay due to the numerous possibilities according to the abilities of characters.

FVII in the end all the characters became the same ... with the same skills except the limit breaks.

The reasoning for this and the materia system however is sound. The developers gave greater control to the player to customise the characters abilities rather than having default abilities as in FFVI. For the majority of the game you can designate which characters you want for physical attacks, which characters you want to play the mage, healer etc. Unfortunately, the optimum setup for each is also identical which is why by the end, the character become more or less the same.

I understand but for me that was one of weakness of FFVII.

Not all characters can be specialist in the same thing and a character must have a background behind her special ability... so the Morph doesn't exists for humam/esper hibrids, a thief must have a thief life, a fighter must have trained a lifetime for this, a ninja must live in the shadows... so all special ability must have a background behind.

A character can't be a thief, fighter, ninja, mime, magician, angel, devil, etc... all at the same time.

I like much more a class system with restricted paths according to the character (yeah... FFVI didn't has too but in this case it is better than FFVII).

I think FF9 is the best game in the series.

I think FF6's gameplay is broken.

I think FF7's Materia system was incredible.

And Persona 4 has the best battle system in any JRPG ever.

.......okay?

OK.

You can put it away, nobody really cares enough.

IMO FFVII are pretty good with the proper MODS. I am playing FFVII right now for the first time and no complaints about graphics.

I totally agree with this. Although FF6 isn't as broken as it's made out to be in this thread.

IX is my favourite.

VII has the best battle system, and it's all down to Materia.

*high five*

for my the best Game in the FF series is  FFX^^because it was such an awesome package the Story, Characters and Music and battle system were petty much perfect.

But the Best Battle Systems in FF are FFV, FFX-2 and FFX.

FFV and FFX-2 Job System equals awesomeness^^and love speed of FFX-2 battle system to.

FFX had the best Pure Turn bast battle system out of the ones that didn't use ATB also FFX's CTB Battle System us one of the best Turn Bast Battle Systems in Traditional JRPGs.
