This Game is Overrated

[NeoCracker]

From its dedicated fans, not so much. I don't know why they still, to this day, take it so personal that it's overshadowed by FFVII and it's impact on gaming. For whatever reason they nonetheless insist the game is better, or more important, than it actually is. I also personally enjoyed FFV more.

Considering how much you oversell FFVII's quality and impact on gaming it's not surprising you have some difference of opinion with FFVI fans.

Granted, but in my defense, it seems like the majority of the community has a difference of opinion with FFVI fans.

There was also a time most people thought this was better then Led Zepplin.

And there was that time Titanic became the highest grossing movie of all time.

Or that period of time Vanilla Ice was the most popular and successful rapper when he came out.

You are in good company I'm sure.

What's wrong with Titanic?

[NeoCracker]

What's wrong with Titanic?

...Other then it clearly belongs no where near the top of list of highest grossing movies of all time?

[Colonel Angus]

VI is hardly overrated. VII on the other hand...

I don't know man, it had a good club mix.

[Pumpkin]

I don't think so. Honestly from the overall opinions I've, seen its loved, but not super-loved like VII for example, so its rated just about right I would say.

i agree yuo cant even call airstrikes in tihs game

Final Fantasy VI ?

Overrated ?


No, because depending on who you hang out with, some people have never even played it or have played it, and have turned their nose up on it like a snob because of the aged graphics.


How can it be overated when some of the fandom, refuse to play the game and experience it's wonder ?

[Yellow_Magic]

Overrated relative to what? Other FF games, or other jRPGs?

You could say the same about FFVII.

[The Man]

Not really. The amount of people who haven't played FFVII pales in comparison to the amount of people who haven't played FFVI. Not to mention that FFVII's graphics (at least in their original form; the PC version's patches admittedly mitigate this somewhat) actually do look bad, while FFVI's have aged quite well.

One day I'm going to see an FFVI fan praise their favourite game without having to resort to trying to put FFVII down in comparison, and it'll be a beautiful moment. Look, regardless of which one is better, FFVII is the more popular and influential game. More people will say it is better. It will always be so. Get over it.

You're like the guy who has a crush on a girl but she's going out with some other guy. "But but but he's an alcoholic and a jerk and has REALLY BAD GRAPHICS and I'm such a NICE GUY don't you see?" Well, here's the news: Despite his flaws, she still wants the alcoholic over you, you weenie. How about you stop fixating over what's wrong with the other guy and start talking about your strengths instead you big manchild?

It depresses me that the FFVI fanboys are worse than the Sephiroth fanboys they despise so much. Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster. FFVI fans, you are the monster now. Pull your trout together, you're besmirching the good name of one of my favourite FFs.

Dude no you do not diss Vanilla Ice

[The Man]

Psy you do realise it's mostly not FFVI fans who brought up FFVII in this thread, right? But if someone talks about FFVII (and for that matter, in Carl's case, openly admits to its flaws) I'm damn well going to state my own opinion.

You know, when the first person to bring up FF VII in this thread was you saying this...

I do think there is something of an inferiority complex from VI fans regarding its status, manifesting itself in dislike towards other games in the series - particularly but not limited to FFVII - which is embarrassing.

I can't help but feel you be trollin' here.
