Oh man, I totally can't see a whole bunch of VII fanboys going through and voting for everything VII "just because it was the first big JRPG that most North Americans of a certain age played."
Consider me an impartial observer, since I've played neither VI nor VII (and believe me, I mean to amend that), but I have had both my ears talked off about VII, and suffice to say I don't buy into the hype. Everything about it sounds horrendously clichéd -- and for those of you who will tell me "It invented those clichés," no, definitely not. It was just YOUR first experience with those clichés because you were "a certain age."
You know how I know I'm going to like VI more than VII when I finally get around to playing them? When people rave about VI, they talk first about the GAME. When people talk about VII, they start going on and on about all this JRPG story bull I don't care about. No one has EVER raved about the GAME to me, only the story. And I already know the whole story -- remember when I said both my ears had been talked off? Not an exaggeration.
On-topic, did I see TWEWY at #62 in there? Another I've yet to play, for the record. Still seems off to me.
