Ok.....if FFVII is considered the greatest game ever, why do so many ppl hate it?

[Squall of SeeD]

J.C.M.F, your point is good and certainly accurate: It was the game's timing, the manner in which it was advertised (note that the commercials for it only feature FMV scenes), and the new heights that had been reached with graphics that launched it into the stratosphere of popularity. That's not really relevant in regard to the matter of why folks would dislike it (very simply, different things appeal to different people), but it's accurate.

There are, however, a few things I want to touch on in your Post:

FF7 added another feature to the battle system that has been accepted very well and since FF7 has been adopted into other FF game that came out after it, this being the Limit Break.

Final Fantasy VI was actually the first to introduce this concept. The first form of this concept were VI's Desperation Moves that characters would occasionally perform when they had been wounded and sent into critical HP levels.

The love between Cecil and Rosa, the friendship between Cecil and Kain, the breaking of their friendship with Kains betrayal, the Death of Tellah from his noble sacrifice, and lets not forget the sacrifice of the two twins.

Tellah's death wasn't noble, really. He did it for revenge, not to protect the world:

Elder: Tellah?

Tellah: It's been a while.

Porom: We met him on Mt. Ordeals.

Palom: And guess what? The old man learned Meteo.

Elder: What!? Meteo, the legendary spell, unsealed? What is happening
to this world...?

Tellah: I couldn't care less as long as I avenge Anna!

Elder: Your daughter Anna?

Tellah: Golbez took her life. I swear I'll crush him with my Meteo!

Elder: Tellah, you should not fight with hatred. Besides, you are in no
condition to use Meteo.

Tellah: If I die, so be it! I will kill Golbez at any cost!

...

Tellah: ...I failed...

Cid: Keep still!

Tellah: I'm such a fool... I lost myself...in hatred. Avenge my
daughter...for me...I beg you...

he game pretty much had nothing to do with the crystals, no mention of Necron anywhere and bam, there he is. It's like he was thrown in there for an extra boss fight.

This might be more subjective than anything, but I believe Necron was mentioned, just not by name.

Read this Thread if you're curious about my observations on this matter.

And although ending on a very sad note, the learning that Tidus was an unsent and that he disappeared as well.

Tidus was a Dream of the Fayth, not an Unsent.


Anyway, your overall point is a good one.
