Don't get me wrong, FFVI is a great game and deserves it's recognition. But saying FFVII was a copy is slander. They're not even remotely the same...
I hope I didn't give you the impression that I didn't like FFVI. The only Final Fantasy under SquareSoft (not Square-Enix) that I very much dislike is FFVIII. That game is so batshit stupid...

Oh man...I was nodding my head at your entire comment until you said you dislike VIII. I absolutely love VIII. I can definitely concede that the story has many flaws and the draw system is kinda annoying and broken but for me, there are SO MANY things to like and even love. The way you increase your stats with magic and tinker with them until you have the best possible set for each character feels so rewarding. The card game could easily be a game on its own, addictive and simple yet deep. The graphics still look quite freaking good for a 19-year old game. The OST is my favorite OST of all time with amazing music for battles, romance, comedy and even a bit of horror-feel to it. I also love the characters a lot even though the narrative gets broken in the later half of the game, their interactions and the main romance sold me completely.

To each his own and obviously we are all entitled to our own opinions but I just felt like saying all of that. I adore that game.

 

I happened to agree on FFVIII being a dark sheep in the line up between FF6-FF10. FF8 had a mundane plot surrounded by wonderful production values *spoiler alert* The crew had no memory of their childhood because they equipped GFs? Seriously? I played the game in 1999 right when it came out. I actually missed school while playing it, so it wasn't bad. Every entry from FFVI to X is a 9.0 to 10.0 type of game.FFVIII which I thought was a solid 8 had other things I disliked. The junction system and enemies leveling up with you  weren't things that hit it big with me. I actually enjoyed the card game, as you could get powerful items from the best cards.
