Haha, you're welcome

I agree with the OP, not on his opinion about how great FFVII is, but on his opinion that this is a bad time for JRPGs.

It is like this year, I hear people saying "Lost Odyssey is one of the best JRPG ever" or "Lost Odyssey is the most emotional JRPG period" and all I think to myself is "Wow! Some people wouldn't know a good JRPG if it kicked them in the face", but hey, what do I know? For me JRPGs in general have been on a decline since the mid-late PS2 days, of course with a few gems here and there, but overall it is nothing close to what we as JRPG fans were given in the days of the SNES and PS1, pure JRPG bliss IMO.

To be honest, my faith in JRPGs went downhill with Final Fantasy XII. Enough with the Western styled shit in every god damn game these days, I wanted to play my JRPG, not a fucking MMO. Give me my fucking menu based turn styled gameplay god damn it!

Only highlighted some of this list off the top of my head, once again making me ask. "What happened to the glory days of the SNES and PS1"?

Also, why no Grandia on your list? No Vagrant Story? I know plenty that could be added there, but nice list regardless.

I Like this one.. xD

Pure awesome contained in this post.

This pretty much sums up what I tell to anyone who thinks FFVII is the greatest Final Fantasy ever. I just ask them "Have you not played FFVI? Same damn game."

 I think the main difference betyween the two for me is that Kefka was just pure bad-ass from the start while Sephiroth is just a confused emo who wanted to destroy everything because he found out he was a test-tube child.

Nah, FFVII is pale imitiation of FFVI. FFVI was actually a good game.

FFVII is EPIC was thnx to Playstation hardware, FFVI wasn`t epic.
The presentation of FF7 is FAR more impressive and gameplay too.
Played both.

chrono trigger 2 hurray

 FFVII can't even hold FFVI's jockstrap, what are you smoking?

If FFVII is "EPIC" and is an almost 100% rip-off from FFVI then that makes VI "BEYOND EPIC". FFVI even had much better character development than VII, I think it also had more characters too, not to mention an enemy that actually accomplished what he set out to do instead of some pansie sitting inside a materia with a queer looking wing all while wearing no shirt like he was all that.

One manipulated another pansie ass into doing what he wants while the other just figures "Hey, forget about fucking with their heads, i'll just blow the shit up myself".

One was a bitch and took out the one who pretty much had him created by stabbing him in the back while he sat in his chair, once again not even doing it himself. Fucking loser. 

What did the other guy do? He looked his maker in the eyes and then dropped his ass like a bad habit off the side of the floating continent. YEAH!!!

FFVI WAS EPIC!!

I agree to a point. FFVII was still entertaining for me, I loved the Materia system and wouldn't mind seeing it come back, but in terms of overall presentation, gameplay, storyline and character development, yes it is but a pale imitation.

Gee, I hope no, we don't.
