I really should do a thing about why Final Fantasy VII is an objectively better game than Ocarina of Time. it would be unpopular for sure, but fun to write.

I honestly can't think of any metric in which Zelda is better.

FF has better graphics
FF has the better story
FF has better characters
FF has more side content
FF is a far, far longer game
FF holds up better today
FF has a slightly better soundtrack/sound effect chart

I just don't see how OoT is considered to be better when the 'other' game that tops many best-of-all-time lists beats it in virtually every category. The plausible exception being 'graphics', because the 'walking around' graphics in FFVII are hideous, but the FMV's and in-battle animations and graphics are better.


When we are comparing OoT and FFVII, OoT has better graphics. 

The better story is a matter of opinion. With FFVII Aerith's death was spoiled before anyone got the game, so not much surprise there when it came to the huge twist. 

FF has more characters. Nothing could ever trump the Hero of Time. Nothing.

How much of that side content was enjoyable?

A longer game doesn't mean better. I can pick up and play OoT whenever I want, it's fun every single time, and when I'm done, I just pop it in again and play it over. FF is longer, so it's a drag to want to play the game again. 

No, it doesn't hold up better today. 

That is debatable. 

 

All of your points are based on opinion. 



1: Panzer Dragoon Saga: By far the best game I have played. Amazing story, fantastic design and perfect controls made me come back again, and again and again and....

2: NiGHTS into dreams: I played this game every day for two months straight. Trying to hit those continous links was so addicting.

3: Ninja Gaiden Black: I have never worked so har at trying to perfect my skill as in this game.

4: Halo 4: The story around Cortana going into rampancy, meeting a whole new enemy and seeing the story take such a leap forward, made me fall in love with the series once more.

5: Phantasy Star 4: It concluded the saga in such a fantastic way, The graphics, the style and Dark Force...

And honorable mentions.

6: Mass Effect 2: The best game in the series, by far.

7: Sonic 2: Best platformer. Ever. Period.

8: Soul calibur: Best fighter. Ever. Period.

9: Sega Rally: Best racer. Ever. Period.

10: Thunder Force 4: Best SHMUP. Ever. Period.
