To Me: Final Fantasy 7 was my first RPG experience in my teens. It was the game that made me look at the genre as the ultimate visual book experience where I could re-name the characters and transport myself into this fantasy world. I never new it was a sin to change the characters name until I started talking to my friends, but screw peer pressure.

I tried Ocarina of time a few years later, and I was turned off by it. Every time I got to a fairy, I would cringe at what I was looking at. It felt like an empty world where I was not motivated to really discover it. So I never finished it. Only Zelda game I've finished is the first one, and it was okay. It was never anything special to ME.

I guess this is where people differ, and I truly understand that there maybe others who disliked FF7. To me, it will always be the favorite Final Fantasy, and yes I've played Final fantasy 6 and 9. In fact, I don't get why 9 gets so much praise, only thing I liked about it was the events where you got to see what others were doing. It helped enrich the story telling, but I didn't like everything else; I had to push myself to finish it.

Qwark said: AsGryffynn said: Microsoft should fund FFVIII Remake as Xbox Series X/W10 exclusive! Final fantasy is a typical Playstation franchise so it will not do all that well. Same with Tomb Raider. Also Square probably wants to release it on all platforms if FF 7 remake is done and sold well. We are also at the end of the gen by then if SE doesn't get to develop the sequels faster than the first installment.

Hence "fund it" not "buy it". Besides, it would probably be timed anyways. FFVIIR is. 

FFVIIR is gonna become the best FF all over again, for a new age and era for FF. Mark my words, this game will mark the beginning of FF's newfound revival. Gonna be A-class all over again and it's all thanks to FFVII.

FFVII was always the best, but I feel as it was the FIRST 3D FF and FIRST FF on a new console and failed to reach its full potential no matter how stunning it was for the time.

The demo of FFVIIR already makes the bombing mission of the original feel tame. During the countdown, NEW music has been incorporated and the feeling of tension has been AMPLIFIED dramatically whereas the original finishes almost exactly how it started. It's night and day, really.

All I will say, is that thank GOD FFVII is getting a well deserved revival. At least this game won't age for quite some time now...this game truly TRULY needed it.

OoT. No explanation necessary.

FF7 was the most amazing experience of its day. Ocarina of Time was great, but it was more of a promise of things to come than a fulfillment. The game had so many obvious limitations from the N64's storage format. The Gamecube games were the fulfillment of what Ocarina promised.

I feel like Ocarina is one of those games were its sequels iterated on its mechanical fundamentals but never quite recaptured that certain je ne sais quoi, at least not until BOTW cast iteration aside in favour of a total reinvention that paid off in spades.

That's not to say of course that Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword weren't great games of course, they absolutely were, but Ocarina was a game-of-all-time-contender and it wasn't until BOTW that the series reached that celestial height again.
