Final Fantasy VI is my favorite Final Fantasy game, so.... The atmosphere, backstory, music, and characters all go hand in hand with each-other to make a truly fantastic experience. I played it before I played VII of course. I can understand that if VII were some people's first Final Fantasy that game would seem the same for them. Honestly, when it comes down to it, they are very similar games in terms of convention and theme, and that is why I never understood the claim that VII was a huge leap and change for the series. VII wasn't the first FF where a playable character died. It wasn't the first to have a developed and strong back story, or extended emotional cut-scenes. It wasn't the first final fantasy to ditch the medieval setting. Honestly, it was just an evolution in the series, not a revolution, and it some ways for people like me it wasn't even that. IX was a vastly better PS Final Fantasy, and X was also a better game in my opinion. Overall, I consider VII to be a standard Final Fantasy. The absolute minimum a Final Fantasy game should be. But it wasn't the best, or even close. There are at least four games better than it, in my opinion: VI, IX, IV, and X.
