I'm not saying that most fans haven't played FF7 by now, but it's not that unlikely that someone is introduced to FF by the newest game of the series, the one being currently talked about, the one on the shelves now for rental-- not one that was made 10 years ago and is getting more expensive and harder to come by. Also, someone who comes here just for, say, the FFXII forum and avoids the FFVII forum completely will still see the image because it shows up whenever you log out. So you're saying that anyone who comes here is asking for it and deserves to expect every game to be spoiled for them? Why bother with spoiler tags, then?

If one of you were in the minority who hadn't played it, you'd probably be singing a different tune.
