I'll agree with Roto, except that I do like the game. I'm more than willing to admit it's over hyped though as it's not without quite a few flaws, chief among them being a poor translation that, I think, may actually make the story seem worse than it is at times.Originally Posted by Roto13
i love VII, VIII, X, X-2, & XII, i also love VI and prior (-III, i stil haven't played it, no NDS), i was born before 1980 and can't stand IX (honestly you can't call it a true FF when it's more like a tribute to the olodschool FFs), so age has little to nothing to do with it... anyway the thing i hate has got to be that fanbase that whines everytime their fan-fictions get ruined by new FFVII canon...
YOU NEED A REASON TO HATE?
Really?
- I was born in 1986
- Final Fantasy VI was my first RPG (for SNES)
Yet, somehow, Final Fantasy VII is my favorite RPG, let alone FF. Too bad it's not a 'REAL' one though...
Everyone who likes FFVII more than VI or IX had better [Run away!] because the omnipotent Roto is going to strike them dead!

None of those. FFVII is a good game, and I can't really be bothered to even care about its fanbase.
I do, however, hate all those stupid sequels (not because they "ruin FFVII", but because they simply suck).

No option for hating the people who hate the game because it's popular?
I love the game. Actually, it's my favourite game of all times. About the fanbase, it's only annoying if you care and give it your attention. So my advise for you all who hate the fanbase, just simply ignore if and it won't bother you at all, really
Hmm, I know people that love it a lot and like the villain or the characters, but not this uber-rabid "I hate them all but VII" all you people are always talking about. In fact, I've seen more "Only VI is any good and I refuse to play any made after it" than anything. The snes era fanbase seems a lot more gung-ho to me. =3
QFT. IMO, the people who say " 2-D Final Fantasy is REAL Final Fantasy" and refuse to accept newer entries as quality games just because they have had massive success seem much more annoying ad elitist than the FFVII fanboys. Btw, my favorite is FVII, but I love all of the 2-D games as well, especially VI.
The snes era fanbase dont have enough fans so what few elitists it has must act like extra elitist in order to keep it going and make up for the lower numbers. However the FFVII is more annoying due to it's vast quantities rather than the quality of it's elitism.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
What are all of you bableing about. Never have I seen this so called "FF VII rules, all others drool" mentality. D.O.B: 10/08/87 first FF played was VII, and yes, VII is my favorite. But I own/have played I, II, III, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2 and XII. But no matter how many times i play other FFs my heart still lies with VII. And before you try to throw insults at me, maybe you should look at yourselves. Fair enough you hate the game, but listen to yourselves, bashing people who like a game that you dont. It's all opinion, and in my opinion you need to stop waisting time having a go at, and insulting a huge amount of, people world wide and go and live your lives. You have your FFs I'll have mine.
Quote Pyramid Doom, but it's a pretty good summary of how I feel on the matter.
I asked for FFVII and got it for my 16th birthday. That was in 1999. It was my first FF, and it remains my solid favourite. I've played all the numbered Final Fantasies from IV to XII, and enjoyed each to a certain extent. It's just that none, in my opinion, has rivalled VII for the complexity and diversity of the characters, and the complexity and diversity of the plot, which borrows from all my favourite genres and combines them into something epic
I neither ask nor expect others to agree, and I often understand and even share the oft-cited criticisms of FFVII. And its fanbase. Anyone who thinks Cloud is a good hero because of his strength and his huge sword is missing the point, just like anyone who feels that Sephiroth is a good villain because he's 'teh uber kwel badass'.
I hate that some people hate FFVII.
I'm playing through Final Fantasy VII for the first time. It's a decent game, but neither the story nor the gameplay has really engaged me yet. I really don't care about the characters or the story at all, and some of the interactive things (like having to press a button at the right time, or sneaking past the guards in the Shinra building) are interesting for a moment, then become annoying.
But, as a friend of mine would lament, "You haven't even gotten out of Midgar yet!" So I'll keep on playing. Maybe it'll get better...
As for the fanbase... well, I've never really paid any attention to it.
