Fair enough

Would you please outline the reasons why you consider it a mediocre game? It would encourage discussion on this thread...what do you think?
I'm going to try to put it as simply as I can, that way people can understand why people like Roto and I believe the game is mediocre.

It was nothing new to us who played Final Fantasy pre VII. The only thing that VII really brought to the series were the FMV cutscenes. Everything else was already in the series. This wasn't the first with ATB battles. This wasn't the first FF with an in depth story. This wasn't the first with in depth characters. This wasn't the first with great music.

People give the game too much credit. They say this game "revolutionized" the RPG genre. It did not. It simply brought more players to the genre.
