I hate you all Final Fantasy VII is the best game ever but VI is pretty close. If you don't agree I don't care because that is how it is.

I tried to play FF VII a couple years ago got about 11 hours in and got bored and stopped playing. the start was great but then there was just a lot of crap I am sure it gets better later or something but the games has serious problems. the controls are weird A lot of the menu navigation and battles could be streamlined, the character models suck, the  Dialogue is pretty poor in a lot of areas (bad translation probably) the pre rendered cut scenes are pretty low quality (they may have been good at the time sure) and don't look much better than in game TBH. A remake could make a great and game out of it tho.

Now i think your judgeing it a bit harshly as by a couple years ago it was an old game. A very old game. You gotta give it a bit more of a chance. FF1 was supposed to be awesome in its day too and i have a hard time playing it now. Mainly cause of that combat bug. But still i can appreaciate it for what it was And i still have fun while playing it.

And in FFVII case i also played it a few years ago too. Bought it and played it on my PS2. Loved it to bits. Sure its was a little rough round the edges but i just put that down to time wearing away at it. But i certinally didnt have all the issues you had with it. I played through it twice just so i could get the stuff i missed the first time.

But then again maybe im just a blind pigheaded FFVII fanboy or something idk. but thats my 2 cents
