I'm not going to argue most of what you said. Personally, I think FF7 is a lot less inspiring than people remember and I believe it marked a down-turn in the series, where visuals and style became more important than substance. I liked it but I also believe that FF6 is a superior game by far. Rather, my point is that I don't understand how someone could have loved FF7 and hated FF8. Like one or the other a lot more, sure, but they are very much in the same mold. |
I agree that VI was superior, but it was from the previous generation. Among the 32/64 bit era RPGs, VII was the king. I can also feel the downturn in the series but, in the case of FFVII, I would call it the perfect banlance. It is, after all, a game that started development under Nintendo and was ended under Sony. Because of that, it had the amazingly fun gameplay of a Nintendo game with the great spectacle of a Sony game. It was a game trapped between two philosophies, and it shared the best of both worlds.
