| MontanaHatchet said: It's popular to hate Final Fantasy 7 while pleasuring oneself to Mass Effect screenshots. It's just the whole "JRPG" vs. "WRPG" thing. FF7 is where most Americans learn to like the series, so it's the game they now hate most besides FF12. |
Hey, I love JRPGs.
I still think FF7 is a crappy Final Fantasy game.
Average RPG.
Horrible FF game.
Pretty much most people who liked Final Fantasy games before 7 disliked 7 because it was a big drop off from 6.
Plenty of people who were introduced with 7 due to the giant marketing blitz tend to overrate it do to it being their introductory RPG.
The only real advantage it had was FMV's and 3-D over 2-D (if you call the ugly 3-D models an advantage)
While it was downgraded in about every other single way you can rate a game... plot, gameplay, character depth and development, music, comedy, stereotyping...
For example look at IGN's latest top 100 list. I believe both Final Fantasy's 6 and 4 were placed ahead of 7.
The only reason 7 is on the list is it was the first big 3-D one and the introduction of FMVs.
