- Final Fantasy VII didn't have Magitek Armor - Final Fantasy, as a franchise, has almost always had summons. So using 'Espers' as an example of originality is just being disingenuous, and stupid. - Kefka and Sephiroth couldn't be any more different in terms of character dynamic. Kefka was just a typical villain who wanted to destroy everything for sake of... destroying everything. Sephiroth was the product of genetic tampering/mutation and upon discovering this; he turns into a psychopath with delusional ideals that aligned with the genetics of his biological mother JENOVA. What did Kefka have for motivation for being hell-bent on destruction? Absolutely nothing. - Final Fantasy VI, along with XII, has a HUGE identity problem in terms of who the story wants the protagonist to be. Is it Locke, the resistance insurgent? Or is it Terra, The half breed who is the only being to bridge the gap between the two species? Or will it be Celes, the commander of the empire who changes her alliance to aid the party? FF6's protagonist focusing is ALL OVER the place in the game. Don't get me wrong, they're all likable - but you can clearly see that the director and story writer couldn't decide on who the "main" character is. - Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the franchise to introduce in game cutscenes - Final Fantasy VII was the first to implement in game cutscenes into their pre-rendered background - Final Fantasy VII is the first 3D Final Fantasy - Final Fantasy VII's sound track has more tracks, as well as more memorable and classic tracks - Final Fantasy VII has a VASTLY superior love story, where as VI barely has one - Final Fantasy VII has the Gold Saucer, FFVI - does not. |
Brilliant. FFVI was a great game but FFVII IMO is the Pinnacle of the series.
