Yesterday the "best game ever" for some arrived to my house and I started playing but since I didnt have a PS memory card it couldnt save but I bought one today and now I´m at the shinra headquarters on the floor 64 with Cloud lvl 13, Tifa lvl 11 and Barret lvl 11 until now it has been pretty good but it didnt wow me at first like FF6 did but is pretty good in its own rights

PD: What part is considered the best of FF7?


Did you also play FF6 for the first time just recently? 'cause I take it when you mean FF6 "wowed" you, that must have been some long time ago, or am I wrong? Believe me FF7 for its time, had a LOT more "wow" going for it than FF6 did in its year.

Oh really? I played both within less than 1 year difference between them back in those days, and FFVII didn't have half the "wow" effect that FFVI. Alas, FFVI's "wow" factor in the world of balance alone tops everything in FFVII, to me. Different people have different tastes.

Then you are indeed in the minority, 'cause FFVII was the one that made RPGs big in the western world, and not without good reason. It literally WOWED gamers. FF1-FF6 not so much.

Part of that was because it was the first Final Fantasy to be released in Europe and for many was the first JRPG they ever experienced. Everything was very new. I think that's partly why I still hold up FFVII as my fave JRPG of all time, I can't get that sense of newness and storytelling from any other JRPG now.
