Here in lies the problem. Most of all the players of FF started playing FFVII first, and that game is highly addicting for it's twist, humor, dark secrets, and a better love story, and the story is more realistic in the fantasy sense. FFVII and FFVI are very similar in the overall story: a group of rebel is defending the land against a larger and evil coporation that searches to find an ancient power to conquer the world but find that there is something else behind it all. If I had gotten it through my head that the story of FFVII copied FFVI, not FFVI copied the story of FFVII, then I might have enjoyed it more. FFVI is worth playing, but for some reason FFV grabbed me more than FFVI.
