By which I mean the Nibelheim Flashback scene, why does everyone hate one of the most important scenes in the game? I just don't get it?
What's up with all the flashback hate?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Just because something's important doesn't mean it's not stupid or that it is good.

BURN.
Then it comes down to a matter of opinion?I fail to see how its stupid and not good.
The flashback scene is dull and quiet. And it's basically the equivalent of any FFX cutscene. Except you can't go make yourself a sandwich while it plays. You have to be an active participant for half an hour.
From my understanding, most people don't hate the scene itself on a first playthrough. They hate it on a replay because they know that part of the plot already, and yet they have to go through and actively play it. It is rather slow-paced.
I think the flashback scene is great, but as others have mentioned it gets a bit dull the nth time through the game.

This. There's nothing bad about it. But it's between an hour and half hour long, really slow paced and there isn't much to do but read text.
Why don't I remember this scene?! xD
oh i get it... it's hated by people that don't like to have a story interfere with their game... it's because they can't just hit Start and skip it or walk away and "make a sandwich"... instead, they have to manually advance the text which means endless mashing of Circle repeatedly 'till it's done, or you know *gasp* actually read the text...
Why are you so hateful about EVERYTHING?
It just happens that some people find THAT PART OF THE GAME boring. In case you forgot, the entirety of Final Fantasy VII is reading smurfing text.
Ironically if you had taken the time to read and understand the text in this thread you would realize that most people aren't expressing issue with the reading of the text, only that it is significantly less interesting after being read multiple times.

This.
The first and second time around it's really amazing and seeing Sephiroth walk through those flames so casually with a nasty smirk on his face and then watching Cloud work out who he really is, is really deep and awesome to see.
ninth or eight time round ? We know this already. We know that Cloud is telling fibs in Kalm, we know that Cloud isn't real Cloud. So it's lost it's impact.
Plus it's a huge lie, so it's almost pointless.
He is the real Cloud. His consciousness is just a bit different since it changes based on experience and influences his behaviour. However, one consciousness, or call it "ego", one person. He is like a person whose consciousness is all about false memories while he still has the true memories. And he knows that something is wrong but Sephiroth and his own shame hold him back. And I love the Nibelheim scene.
