Ok, what the hell. FFVII gets too much attention because it was the one that sold the most copies, period. It isn't very good, the storyline isn't as awesome as FFIX or FFVI, the characters aren't half as lovable (except for Aerith). FFVII is the easy choice for gamers, well it sold the most copies so it must be the best, plus it was sorta cool when I played it. COME ON! Talk about people who don't know [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] about RPGs. FFVII is one of the worst FFs, it is clearly a hollywood movie, nothing new, nothing interesting. It revolutionized NOTHING, the only thing it added was the Limit Break meter. At the same time as FFVII came out, this other INCREDIBLE RPG game out called Wild Arms, guess why it didn't get as much attention? BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE THE ADVERTISING AND THE FRANCHISE NAME TO BACK IT UP! But it clearly was much better than FFVII. FFIX is just the second best FF, awesome graphics, the storyline was incredible, the characters were unforgettable, the setting was very, very awesome and the retro touch gave it a charm that only real RPG fans would like. That is also why it didn't get as much attention, FFIX is an RPG lover's RPG, not a commercialised bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] game. Iconic sword? I'm sorry, the sword became ICONIC with FF7 cause it was huge. The swords on the previous covers were only secondary, the Mog took a much bigger place. FF didn't start with FF7, know your stuff.
