I love the descriptions of VII and VIII.
I can understand the "Not Worth it" on FF IV NES with the new version on the GBA, but calling the GBA version "Not Worth IT"? WTF are they thinking?
And Super MArio RPG, that game kicked ass. Whats wrong with these people?
I like the FF VII description, too. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who considers Mystic Quest to be an insult because it assumed that Americans were too stupid to play real RPGs.
This feature: "not worth it"
It's your standard internet-pseudo-intellectual-RPG drivel that thinks traditional RPG means having predefined character roles and throws out baseless generalizations that could be made about any game.
Its just some random guys opinions. Who cares.
"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

lol we hate ff we so original we so rebellious no1 haz eva dun dis b4
Wow, these guys are really pushing the envelope... is this some kind of bite back at what GameSpot did the Jeff Gerstmann at FF's expense or something? Pathetic.
KINGDOM HEARTS 2 NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM
I think that the review for Final Fantasy VII is ridiculous. It states all of the problems with the game and tells the reader to play it, regardless of its flaws, and generally clashes with the voice of the rest of the view.
I realize that Final Fantasy VII had an impact on gaming, but I think that other games in the series have had similar impacts and have aged and fared much better than this classic.
I believe in the power of humanity.
FFVII Snowboarding rules! I don't know what they are talking about.
I understand why they put in the Gameboy games but why Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Secret of Evermore and probably something else. Some of those games don't even have vague references to Final Fantasy.
Also, I like Mystic Quest. It is a fun game with good music. People hate on it too much because of the reasons behind why it was made. I like a lot about the game
Enemies on Screen
No random battles/simplified world map
On screen use of items(claw, axe and others)
Music
ect.
FFVII is a goddamn wreck of a game but it is fun above all else to a high degree. Oh the hours wasted playing that snowboard game in the Gold Saucer :D
Who am I to care what one person's view on games are? Honestly, I think whoever wrote those comments, are just looking for attention as none of it is an informative opinion.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I disagree with the idea that any of the other games in the series had the same impact on the RPG genre and the game market as FFVII. FFVII is by no means my favourite game in the series, but anyone who denies that FF's first foray into the world of 3D didn't cause the explosion in the RPG genre, and countless "me too" titles that spawned in the wake of it's success was either:
a) not playing games at the time for whatever reason (too young, not into them, etc.)
or
b) living under a rock.
No RPG before it that I know of came close to FFVII's sales or popularity. Most importantly, it influenced every game that came after in terms of story telling and presentation. More importantly, it made the genre as popular as it was during the PSX days, and continues to be now. No game in the series since FFI had the global impact FFVII did, and none had as large an impact for better or for worse.
I like how people are so angry because not every single game got a "worth it" xP
