I can guarantee you that people were just as stupid back in '97 as they are now. It's just that back then the Internet was still kinda new, forums weren't as widespread and Facebook and Twitter didn't even exist. If the Internet had been as developped as it is now when Square made the decision to release Final Fantasy VII on PS1 we would have seen a shitstorm of epic proportion. |
I spoke to quite a few people back then about games like FFVII and MGS as a Nintendo fan, and I can guarantee you that thoughts like this never even crossed my mind. To me, the internet brood this in people, it feeds that wolf inside of them that causes them to say stupid things. It wasn't like that prior to the net, usually it was limited to one or two trolls out of 15 normal people. That's my experience of the matter. Remember your school friends, people you talked about this with. Were things this stupid being said? I can't remember it.
@Kylie. Metal Gear Solid, Megaman X, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden. And even if FF doesn't follow a connected story, VII is a true sequel to VI in that it followed the same design as all other FF games, and fans knew what to expect. So your point is moot, and even worse here since FF fans were it seems much greater in number and much more dedicated to the series than what I see for Bayonetta. Forgive me if I think FF was one of the greatest series of all time at the time of the switch, and to think your argument sucks. I'll concede the Mass Effect one, but would you prefer Code Veronica?
