| Runa216 said: I really should do a thing about why Final Fantasy VII is an objectively better game than Ocarina of Time. it would be unpopular for sure, but fun to write. I honestly can't think of any metric in which Zelda is better. FF has better graphics FF has the better story FF has better characters FF has more side content FF is a far, far longer game FF holds up better today FF has a slightly better soundtrack/sound effect chart I just don't see how OoT is considered to be better when the 'other' game that tops many best-of-all-time lists beats it in virtually every category. The plausible exception being 'graphics', because the 'walking around' graphics in FFVII are hideous, but the FMV's and in-battle animations and graphics are better. |
I don't see how those are objective. Especially since I always thought FF VII had rather muddy graphics and had ugly character models especially compared to OOT. Soundtrack too is rather subjective. Story and characters is rather debtable, I do agree that FF VII has better characters and much more indepth better story but objectively so? I don't think so, I can't see how one story can be objectively better than another.
While I also don't think OOT is anywhere close to being the best game ever I do think it is a better game and has held up better than FF VII, the fact that we disagree though proves that either game can't be totally objectively better than each other.
