This Game is Overrated

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I don't think this game is overrated and I typically don't read into the reasons why someone would say it is.

As with Final Fantasy VII haters, it typically has less to do with the quality of the game itself and more to do with them wanting to feel unique by having an opinion that isn't popular. Not directed at anyone here (I have yet to read through this thread), I just mean as a general.

I just live by the idea that if you like a game, you like a game. And that's cool. Don't waste calories telling someone else why they shouldn't like it as much as they do.

Maybe it has less to do with wanting to look cool and more to do with just not enjoying a lot of other games

Which is why I said it was a generalization

You know what's objectively not overrated tho.

Suplexing a train.

[Pumpkin]

I agree with that 100%

MOTHERsmurfER SUPLEXED A TRAIN

The Hancock movie would have been movie of the year if Will Smith had suplexed the train in that one scene.

I didn't know you're a General. Anyways, everything you said.

I'm having my first play through now. I noticed its the first game to go down the steam punk road. Due to the limits of the snes it's easy to miss how different the world is compared to earlier snes FF games. However upon close inspection you begin to notice how awesome and unique the setting is. Part medieval fantasy part steam punk. Really cool.

my personal preference is the more traditional medieval settings of the first five games though, FFVI settings still awesome though. I'm loving the characters so far, can't wait to get general Leo. I herd he's only in the game for one battle though, hope I'm wrong. The story is very interesting, the dialogue is decent too. I love the whole ensemble feel to the cast of player characters. The temp party members are also very interesting. I did not like those stupid mogs helping rescue terra in the beginning though. The music is awesome!

I think FFVII and FFVIII stray too far away from the fantasy setting into scifi/steam punk. I feel 6 is the perfect balance between the two. That's why I've had so much trouble getting into 7 and 8. FFX setting is also done better IMO when compared to 7 and 8.

I still need to finish the game though. Give me about a week and I'll be done.

VII & VIII aren't really steampunk, though. VII is more post-apocalyptic neo-futurist. VIII I really can't pinpoint. But, yeah, both are the farthest from a standard fantasy setting as FF had ever gotten (not considering XIII, as I know little about it).

FFVIII is sort of semi-modern with real elements of futurism in there as well.
