Yeah, it is a good sword, but it doesn't have the same asthetics. The others were instantly recognisable images that represented the game

Ok, what the hell. FFVII gets too much attention because it was the one that sold the most copies, period. It isn't very good, the storyline isn't as awesome as FFIX or FFVI, the characters aren't half as lovable (except for Aerith). FFVII is the easy choice for gamers, well it sold the most copies so it must be the best, plus it was sorta cool when I played it. COME ON! Talk about people who don't know [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] about RPGs. FFVII is one of the worst FFs, it is clearly a hollywood movie, nothing new, nothing interesting. It revolutionized NOTHING, the only thing it added was the Limit Break meter. At the same time as FFVII came out, this other INCREDIBLE RPG game out called Wild Arms, guess why it didn't get as much attention? BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE THE ADVERTISING AND THE FRANCHISE NAME TO BACK IT UP! But it clearly was much better than FFVII. FFIX is just the second best FF, awesome graphics, the storyline was incredible, the characters were unforgettable, the setting was very, very awesome and the retro touch gave it a charm that only real RPG fans would like. That is also why it didn't get as much attention, FFIX is an RPG lover's RPG, not a commercialised bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] game. Iconic sword? I'm sorry, the sword became ICONIC with FF7 cause it was huge. The swords on the previous covers were only secondary, the Mog took a much bigger place. FF didn't start with FF7, know your stuff.

In my opinion the story is incredible and the characters were just as fantastic. I don't like it because it sold the most copies or the advertising! I didn't even know anything about it until after I had already beaten FFIX. (my third favorite) VII was just another number to me. Then I actually played it, and I loved it! So don't go around thinking people loved it for the advertising just because you don't like it! I haven't played Wild Arms myself, but all I've heard was that it was just okay, so I've never bothered.
Consider yourself one of the few who actually like it for what it is.
Can you think of a decent PS1 RPG before FFVII? No. It revolutionized absoloutely everything. Including games of other genres.Quote:

Anyway, so that this doesn't get off topic, I still think FF Tactics gets less attention than this game, which is too bad, because Tactics is also a magnificent game.
Wild Arms I think came out either before FFVII or at the same time. It is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. It is far superior than FFVII. Don't base your opinion on someone else, try it yourself.
because it is not as good as the others thats why!! :rolleyes2 man this game is nothing compared to 7,8.10 and 6. ;)
I actually found this game ultimately better than FFX, and much better than FFVIII, but your right, its not quite as good as FFVII or FFVI. As for trying Wild Arms, as I said all I've heard is bad things, so I didn't want to waste money buying it. But if you thing I should play it for myself, then I'll have to find a copy somewhere in order to do so.Quote:

Yay! And you're right... I just hate it when they all say it was the most lame game like ever and never even bother to play it for themselves... they also like it to be the same like VII or VIII... :( that's sad.. why don't they just play it thoroughly and appreciate the way it was meant to be played? oh well...Quote:

i think it didnt get as much sales because PS2 came out afta it was released, they should have waited and released it on PS2 and given them voices and stuff
IX is my favorite FF and my favorite game. ever. i loved the gameplay, the system, the story, and the music.
the only problem is the final two battles were just too easy.
That's pretty much it really. It's a great little game. It's release date was just tragic.Quote:
