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

Nope. disagree. Thats just his nostalgia talking. I feel FF8, FF9 and FF12 were all better. In every imaginable way that made FF7 good. Well, with exception to the story in FF12 which started off the best but somewhere along the line just stopped being a story and a straight line to the credits.

And even FF13 still uses a turn based system, though very different from the traditional turn based system. And I feel FF12 was the best as far as managing your parties actions are concerned while still using a turn based system.

Oh and I know I sound like a broken record, but please obscure the spoiler in the OP.

I realize the game is 17 years old and I understand people should know better than to enter a thread about a game they've never played, but no one deserves to have a game spoiled.

FF XII was horrible when it came to managing your party unless you mean putting them on auto-pilot.

I noticed it now, I'll change it right away. Thanks!

It wasn't even the best JRPG when it was made, let alone RPG period, and it has since aged horribly.

I feel pity more than scorn for the sad, confused writer.

Going to play FFVII again. This will be 12th time. Its epic everytime! Best FF, and rpg.

I still prefer FF8, FF6, Chrono Trigger and a lot of others over it.

Too bad I couldn't give two shits about any of the characters. That's why for me it's one of the most boring FFs ever. Not even making my top 5 FFs.

Except Tifa of course but she already got 2 strong arguments for her by default that have nothing to do with the game.

I always wondered... Where is that sig from?

I don't know everything about FFVII since it has many complex options you can play with if you're very familiar with the game. But I love the Materia system.

Any other RPGs that has something similar? I'd like to try another game like that system. Overall I like FFVII very much, one of my favourite RPG games. I haven't played many other games in the series though, only I, II, VI, VIII and XIII. Haven't finished any other than VII either.



Yep.
