Here is a brief history of the early FF series in North America as perceived by those who experienced it, to explain the significance of whether FFVII was a player's first JRPG:

FFI(1990): Good
FFII(1991): Amazing
FFIII(1994): zOMGE BEST GAME EVAR
FFVII(1997): WTF?

And for those who started the series at VII:

FFVII(1997): zOMGE BEST GAME EVAR

This concludes our scientific exhibition.

I'm asking why that is. Why isn't FFI anyones favorite RPG if they started there? Why does this rule ONLY apply to FFVII. If FFVII is your favorite it was your first RPG, if any other RPG is your favorite you could have started anywhere. Really it's complete nonsense that people make up to bash the FFVII fans. People just like the game. It wasn't my first RPG or even my first FF game yet it's still my favorite.

 

It's mostly because around that time, RPG's changed to accomidate 3-d and they're still changing to this day. I didn't hate FF7 because it was cool to do so. I didn't hate it for being on the PS1 I hated it because I was so pumped up to buy it after finishing FF6 and I was utterly dissappointed by it.

Cloud pissed me off, I was scratching my head about Cait Sith and I don't know why they even bothered with adding some of the useless side crap that they did. As for Sephiroth don't get me started.. if I wanted to hear endless monologues I'd tivo Jay Leno and loop his.

 

The truth is Final Fantasy 7 started arift in the RPG fan base. It opened the doors to what we have today(in majority) and made RPG's more of a main stream thing outside of Japan.

It's not a bad game it's just not to my taste and I believe it single handedly opened the doors to the downfall of traditional RPG's . Final Fantasy fans have a huge gap there's the guys that like 1-6 and the guys that like 7-12 They both might mix a bit (I personally liked 9 and 11) but never totally and always seem to have a huge difference of opinion.
