It's only a compliment if those same people aren't fawning over your earlier, more accomplished, works. We're not a group of FF haters here, we just don't think that VII is anywhere near the best. I even liked IX better, even if it did have Orco from He-Man in it. *ducks flying objects* |
I didn't say everyone that hated it, just that it IS a popular thing to do. FFVII hate started before the game even released just because Square left Nintendo. Then you have people who like one of the other FF games better and they decide to hate FFVII because it gets all the attention. If FFVII wasn't popular no one would hate it, it has a status that it's so popular that a lot of people hate it just for that. Kinda like Halo to a lesser extent. Just like gamers that started with the PS think it's cool to hate Nintendo, just because a lot of people like something that they aren't into they develop hate for it.
Now there are people that have played FFVII and earnestly hated it, you're probably one of those people. But a lot of people aren't like that.
