I don't hate FF7, and I'd be willing to play it, but I simply cant stand the graphics. Now if there ever was a FF7 remake, then hell yeah I'll play the game.

That's a pretty bad reason not to play it. I'm going to play FF VII sometime soon I guess (after FF IX, Brave Fencer Musashi , Star Ocean, and Suikoden) and I don't mind the graphics. I think FF VIII's graphics are fine. They're not in line with the current games, of course, but I tend to not compare old games to current games so basically I can enjoy games with crappy graphics.

That's a plus for me I guess.

Do you have a copy? The cheapest i've seen FF7 sell for is $60 lately, used. Almost makes me wish I woulda kept one of my three copies... so I could sell it.

Eh nobody can accuse me of not trying to like that crappy game.

 

Do they really cost that much used? I remember I always used to see used copies in EB for really cheap years ago. I still have my original copy that I pre-ordered way back in '97. :) I haven't played FFVII since like 1998, haha.

OT: FFVIII is a terrible game(IMO) and it made me stop playing (new) FF games. It was the beginning of the end for me actually wanting to play FF games. I used to be a big FF fan, too. I still love the older ones though :)
