Cue RPG related anything where the list is advertised heavily with FFVII memorabilia but when you open the list the game is put far behind countless RPGs that damn sure do not deserve to be in front of it. UHG!!!

I just find it super annoying that they use FFVII stuff(see Aeris images in the article) to draw in readers and always rob the game blind of it's spotlight. If FFVII is not at least in the top 5 the list automatically become void. And If I see one more article trying to peddle FFVI as somehow way better than VII I will be sick.

FFVI>VII. You just need to let it go

Its so not on so many levels. Whomever posted the list of how GamerConnect Ranks them, I could live with that one. Chrono Trigger actually had some ground breaking stuff going on it it to warrent being put before FFVII, VI just......UHG it doesn't and I just find it so offensive that people try to make it so.

Most people who played both at time of release seem to disagree.

Considering you were about 5 at the time according to the profile, i'm guessing that wasn't the case.

FF6 vs  Chrono Trigger was pretty much the big RPG arguement of the SNES era that people would debate.

With most people leaning towards FF6

So it really wasn't any kind of backlash towards FF7.

Really, to most people who played 6, and waited eagerly for 7.  They ended up somewhat disapointed.

I know I did, and i bought a PS1 specifically for FF7.

 

FF7 is more or less the start of mass produced casual friendly final fantasy games with few characters, few stories and little character development.
