I stopped here "Final Fantasy VI has terrible gameplay, it's broken and boring."
Why you think that? The FFVII gameplay is a poor/light copy of FFVI gameplay... both have materia/esper, limit break/super near dead attack, etc... but FFVI had a little more like status bonus on levels and so much more especial commands/magics/summons.
And... characters, story, villian... is all way better in FFVI than FFVII.
PS. I loved FFVII and give it a 9/10 socore... but FFVI deserve a 9.8/10 because overall is a better game.
