Forums - Gaming - Why Final Fantasy VII is Still the Best RPG Ever Made

Go on VII fans, run free. Don't let them get you down. I also have no idea why so many herald VI as being so much better. It was boring.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

It is a damn good game but not the best RPG, by far. Super Mario RPG holds that title. Now that game is unparalled. Great dialogue, great cast, fantastic and engaging battle system, varied settings, lengthy story, memorable soundtrack. I really believe to be the best RPG in existence.

Actually, SMRPG ties with suikoden densetsu 3. Everything i said applies to this game as well. 

Is Secret of Mana 2 really that good?  I've never got to play it because Square Enix really hates the West!

It's your standard RPG affair but you get to choose your main character and 2 companions fomr 6 different heroes, whos stories intertwine and interact with one another. 

there are branching classes with different skills as you level up, good soundtrack, interesting storyline , etc. It's a bit linear but still worth a go.

Well, I'm not the biggest fan of emulators, but I might make an exception for Secret of Mana 2!

it isn't though, personally I enjoyed VI more than VII, I liked the story more, it was far less predictable. FF VII was really a very linear story where the whole thing was chasing some guy. After the president died, there was only one more major plot twist and that was learning that cloud was a failure... if you never already figured that out. It wasn't even that much of one because there were so many things that indicated how it was going to turn out. Even Aries dying was seen coming a mile away, Sepheroth himself even said he was going to do it yet... some how people were so shocked... the moment she left your party and then was told "I'm going to kill her" you should have damn well known she was going to die. Really, FF VII is just an over rated game because it was the first 3D Final Fantasy game. Like come on, think about it. Would it still have been this great game of all time if it was the story of FF XV? probably not because the story was dry.

 

If I was going to give my top 3 RPGs, they would be Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and FF VI.

Trust me. I have beaten that game 4 times, with different characters. The stories are not completely different but dialogue, enemies, bosses and interactions all change depending on your team composition. It is a good time.

No JRPG has the writing of Fallout: New Vegas or Planescape: Torment.

Thankfully you're right.
