7 is good. Really good. But so are other Final Fantasies. 7 is in the middle of my list for best Final Fantasies. So I hate the fan boys. I still love the game despite being inferior to other titles in the series though. And it's far from sucking. The fanboys only exist because it's the first one they played and they spent a ton of man hours leveling Cloud to 99 (dorks). That they have to spout off their achievement and brag how much better the game was than the others.
This sums it all up for me.

That was the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Especially that part about Yuffie being a Ninja.lol.Originally Posted by Forsaken Lover

FF7 was actually one of my favorite games for the first three years of the release.
Slowly but surely the fanbase killed the game for me.

For once, ONCE, you post something that I found not only mildly amusing, but that video had so much WIN in it I don't know where to start on how great it was. I especially loved how he took that random shot at Naruto, which goes hand in hand-- I mean, why stop at nitpicking a lousy game--shoot down the crappy anime while you're at it! I love it. I absolutely love it.
I don't see how that's hard to believe. After beating the game I was going to make a page just about Chocobo racing statistics because I actually kept a little book of which of my chocobo's were the strongest.somehow i find that hard to believe.

I still nearly have the entire strategy guide memorized because I'd read it when ever I wasn't able to play the game. The guides covered in sticky note tabs for easy page goings.
I was a fangirl of FFVI when I was 9 but then after I moved when I was 11 I didn't play FFVI again until I was like 16. Between 13 (when FFVII came out) and getting ahold of FFVI again, FFVIII was the perfect game for me.
I didn't become bitter towards fans til about 2 years ago, because I don't understand the concept of a game being over 9000 times more popular fanbase wise over 10 years after it's original release. Not to mention, most the fans are like 18 and under which tends to make them the fans where they're all "OMG, LYKE SEPHIROTH IS THE COOLEST" and yeah, those weren't really the fans I started with, so I'd rather end my love for FF7 with them and not have to deal with them when I don't have too.
That was bloody hilarious in places. I love FFVII and appreciate the spinoff, but that was a great piece of humour there. I especially liked the Cait Sith description, Cloud's physique critique, A-Team sequence, and and the lambaste of the hentai-freaks.

Everyone's is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't think you've even watched an episode of Naruto by the way you're talking. Man the story is brilliant and unpredictable unlike many other animes (DBZ).For once, ONCE, you post something that I found not only mildly amusing, but that video had so much WIN in it I don't know where to start on how great it was.

comared?Naruto's still crappy compared to DBZ. By the way you talk, you never watched an anime with a good storyline, the american version of DBZ is censored and childish.:mog:Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I don't think you've even watched an episode of Naruto by the way you're talking.

This will be a little off topic so I'm only going to say it once and am not coming back to the topic to argue. I f-n hate all anime. I'm so sick of all these nerds trying to get into Japanese culture and act Japanese. The hell with it. Most of us are American, turn that crappy badly written/badly translated unrealistic stuff off and turn on the The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park. American cartoons. DBZ and Naruto are both extremely retarded and anyone that watches it outside of Japan needs to find something better on tv. You are all now dumber for watching a single episode of any Anime show. And yes, I have seen some, I tried to get into it one point, but found it too lame and not worth anything. The closest I will ever get to anime now is the Chrono series, and Kingdom Hearts. Dragon Quest is ok, but not great. Anime television go back to Japan where you belong. So we don't have nerds like these 2 arguing which is good anime when it's all a pile of crap. You two take your lame arguments of equally retarded anime shows somewhere else and lets get back to the other topic.Naruto's still crappy compared to DBZ. By the way you talk, you never watched an anime with a good storyline, the american version of DBZ is censored and childish.:mog:

Yes, I have sat through Naruto just to see why the hell everyone liked it so much. I hated every damn minute of it. It was predictable, annoying, and I wished I could have fast-forwarded through the episode to get to some of the action scenes (the series' only redeeming point). Other than that, the story was dull, the characters were so horribly cliché, and the dialogue sucked. Shall I continue? I can go on...Everyone's is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't think you've even watched an episode of Naruto by the way you're talking.

But I do agree with the DBZ part. I never did like anything from the Dragon Ball series except for the very first series (Goku as a child).
Uh no, I have to seriously disagree. Anime usually has a much better storyline compared to American cartoons, not to mention it doesn't look like it was drawn by an 8 year old child. There is character and story development as well. I find American cartoons to be dull, repetitive, and horribly unfunny when humor is the main objective of said shows. There is often no character development and no story in American cartoons as well, especially when each 25-minute show is different from the last. The Simpsons is boring, Family Guy copies the Simpsons to the point that it has to be some form of plagiarism, and South Park...well, I guess South Park is okay. You say we get dumber from anime-- but are you saying the retarded drivel made in America is any better? Because I think you are very wrong.
You may not have noticed, but you are in a forum where the majority of the members happen to be nerds (and many are pretty damn proud of it), and a good percent of those are anime fans as well.

o.O
I fail to see the need to attack an entire fanbase. I like some Anime, and I don't want to act Japanese. No, I feel that I act like a dirty, fat, American often. But I fail to see how like a show that just so happens to be an anime outside of Japan as anything bad.
Not really sure where Naruto fits into this thread. If anything I guess it's quite similar to the Final Fantasy series as a whole in that it's fairly mainstream and popular, and in my opinion both of them are popular because they're good, rather than being rubbish because they're popular which is a viewpoint I see only too often regarding anything that sells well.
For the record I'm a fan (not a fanboy, those are the more obnoxious breed) of FFVII. And Naruto. I can see where y'all are coming from, some products have worse fans than others.... I'm also a fan of Macintosh computers but I can't stand Mac fanboys either, and believe me a huge percentage of Mac fans can be categorised as the more obnoxious "fanboy" breed.
The issue is childishness, "Mine is better than yoouuuurs neener neener". It goes hand-in-hand with console gaming of course because a lot of actual kids are involved. That's what I think people find annoying when we get a little older. But wait, isn't this just an issue of age/maturity difference?
Wanting to "be Cloud" or thinking Sephiroth is teh cool3st is most likely just kids being kids. Hell I was about 14 when FFVII first came out and I was kind of like that too (I grew out of it)... let them have their fantasies, surely that's why they named this game the way they did
When you learn a little more about life itself and the story presented in such games, you realise that being a messed-up 21 year old with major memory, identity and emotional problems who has watched close friends die isn't such an attractive prospect after all, but what's the rush to get to that point? Let the young enjoy fantasizing about being Cloud while they still can
Whether it's being a blind fanboy and saying that all FF games suck compared to FFVII, or being a Hater and saying that it's "lame" or whatever with no real justification, is all just an issue of childishness. Intelligent discussion should respect the pros and cons of each side.
Best game ever? I thought so, until FFX came out. Now they're equals.
