Runa216 said: 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.
