Is the question whether there will one day be another RPG featuring a blonde, chronically depressed young adult with a giant sword being joined by a rag tag group of heroes and anti-heroes on a quest to stop a villian hell bent on destroying the world rather than doing the rational thing and rule it instead? Nah. That's too unique.



Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.

The only game that will make VII look like childs play is Versus XIII, In my honest opinion...

That's about the best brief summation of FFVII I've seen.

I feel you pain man.

 



@ OP begs the question does not mean what you think it means

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

The phrase you were looking for is 'raises the question', which is a completely different thing



I enjoyed FFVII as much as anyone when it first came out but now looking back on it it really was and is one of the most overrated games of all times and not that great.
