In the 'I REVIVED AERIS' thread, me and another member called grim07 were 'discussing' how much this game revolutionised the series as a whole, compared to some of the other games (amongst others: X, VI and I). Well, obviously, that thread got locked for going off topic, but now, the discussion can continue here!

Personally, i don't think the game revolutionised the series as much as everyone is making out it did. Sure, it had it's moments (the graphics of the time), but it also had it's downers (a main villian that you don't even meet until disk 2, and even then, you don't fight it until disk 3). I'm in the camp that believes that if it wasn't for I, then we wouldn't all be here today, and Square would be a nobody.
