I liked FFVII but I don't think it's the godsend that people think it is. The only reason people like it so much was because it was so many peoples first FF and they automatically think it's the best.
And that's where the game starts to bother me.
They keep hearing about FFVI and how just about everyone that has played it say it's better than VII and they feel the need to argue. It doesn't matter that they never played VI and never plan to because it's old and must be shitty, VII is better.
Also, the other reason why I have a general dislike for VII isn't because it went to Sci-Fi, it's because it started the whole emo man-boy character versus the pussy final emo final boss (yes, Sephiroth may have a large sword but he's a mama's boy). Now every main FF character falls into at least one of two catagories: emo and man-boy.
I don't know, with VII the FF games just seemed to lose a lot of the style previous games had and they have been losing more and more style with each new game. They're less about the characters and story and more about the graphics and big production values. Have you played XII? The story was copied straight out of a generic political thriller and the characters feel like they were created by a napping four year old.
And people wonder why I'm in no way excited about FFXIII.
