Just don't want to come across as a hater, because I really love FFVII, it did a lot of great things. In this argument though I am just defending my point that OoT was the better game. I am being pretty open minded about this, I understand that some people only care about story, or perhaps value story greatly over other categories, and to them, I guess FFVII could be the greatest of all time (Xenogears also has an argument there). 

Like I said, I loved them both, and I could Write essays about what made both so great. But I don't know that many people that got to play Ocarina back in 1998 would deny that it was the most ground breaking experience of their video gaming lives to that point. Perhaps only Mario 64 in 1996 has a better argument in that particular claim, but I am not sure. 

I'm not denying that OoT have better gameplay, but this whole petty argument started because I said nobody has really seen FF7, and then it was about legos, and right now it's about fighting games because a certain someone went berserk.

Well I mean, saying someone has never "seen" Final Fantasy VII is kind of a pointless thing to say, as the remake might differ greatly.  You might be seeing two different games based on the same world from two totally separate generations.

Like I still play PS1 games.  So if I decide to pass on the remake due to garbage episodic structure or gameplay decisions I may or may not agree with, are you saying I did not really "play" Final Fantasy VII?

I have seen Final Fantasy VII on Playstation, which is the version we are talking about.  Trying to drag imagination into a discussion about visuals just kills all credibility to arguments you may have had.  And trying to use another current gen reimagining to back it up is asinine.  By your logic, I can say "even less people have seen Ocarina of Time, because they have not even remade it on current gen machines yet" and be just as valid.

I get what you are trying to say, I do.  But what you don't get is that the point you are trying desperately to make has no place in a discussion comparing an N64 and a PS1 game.  Imagination, which is subject, does not change the objective visual quality provided by the tech in any game.  That is just not how it works.

Just my two cents.
