FFVI - So over hyped IMO when compared to VII, but still a great game. Probably my 4th Fav FF so far.

FFVI over hyped!? Where is Nanzatips when you need him. FFVII has been bludgeoned over the heads of fans of REAL Final Fantasy titles for the last ten years. Its one of the most overhyped games ever. FFVI had one ridiculous 15 sec ad with a clay mation Moogle zapping monsters from the game with no in game footage. It came on at like 2 am for a couple weeks at best. FFVII had an ad campaign that constantly barraged you with FMV to mask the fact that the games graphics looked crap even by 1997 standards.

 


FFVI is so over hyped by the "underground cool" FF fans. FFVII did what FFVI did but a lot better. I'm sorry, it's hard to take a luaghing clown seriously and try to get in the story when ur up against someone who's bad ass. And if you want to start game bashing, FFVI is the leg polio of the FF series. You fail, your pics fail, and your opinions fail. Stop trying to say ur opinion "FFVI is the best FF" as a fact, it's really annoying. I was simply stating my opinion about it's over hypedness that people do, stupid douche. there are things called exageration that exist in the English Language, learn them.

P.S. If you don't want to look like a douche, you might not want to respond fanboyishly over someones opinion, it helps.


I agree with both of you.  FFVI and FFVII are both incredibly overhyped by their respective camps.  My favorites are IV and V -- I can never really decide which of these I like better -- and VI following closely behind.  VI is great, it just isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

@facher, while I agree with the general sentiment of your three inequalities, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with using better eye candy, technology, or realism, as long as it's not at the expense of imagination, creativity, and fun.  That's where I feel many developers go astray these days.  Square is somewhat less guilty of this than many developers, but it's still obviously been a problem in the later FF games.
