Why Final Fantasy VI will always be better than VII

No it doesn't and no it isn't. Your repeated insistence on this point suggests that your perspective on the mechanical merits of JRPGs is skewed to the point of running counter to people who actually enjoy the genre.

Edit: And don't get me started on this shit about Final Fantasy IV.

Yeah I'm with you 100% on this, I mean the ATB system is probably one of the best RPG systems ever created, and it actually irritates me that Square holds the rights to it so no other developers can use it (it pains me since Square is not using it anymore and keeps coming up with terrible alternatives)

Saying FFIV, VI, or VII has broken or bad gameplay is just poppycock, that's like saying turn based RPGs are bad, SRPGs can no longer hold up over time cause it requires something that isn't fast paced or active... It's like saying D&D is no longer relevant because it uses an older style because there's new table top games that do away with that like Hero clix... 

Overall the idea that artistically VI will always look better was known back when VII came out... VII really wasn't graphically impressive it was more the content at the time was impressive since there were already much better looking games on the PS1 and N64 and even then there were already debates on how even games were 3D the 2D counterparts looked better because it had style and honestly more detail than the first gen 3D titles with solid color textures and the like.

So while I agree on Twesterms point about how both games look some of the ideas are just outlandish, people shouldn't throw away old techniques cause something "better" has come along, it's like developers that make budget titles now don't even animate models or add shadows because they can't afford to spend time adding in a physics or light engine... so instead of using the old PS1 and N64 techniques and making it look nice they use stiff models and circle shadows... and well that's just backwards... retarded... and it pisses me off every time I see it.
