Contempory FF games: Over criticised?

[ljkkjlcm9]

No I do not believe the new FF games are overly critized and I don't believe the older FF games are overhyped. The thing you need to look at is the game and the time period it was released. The reason FFI was so amazing and still is today, was because it was awesome for when it was released and had something new to play. The games after that continued in this line, but I don't really think FFII is all that great.

PLUS you said not to play the older FF games because the graphics suck, I hate this argument. I've argued numerous times that graphics do not make a game, and I still hold true to this argument. FFI is still a great game even if the graphics aren't all that amazing, and actually FFIII is also an awesome game with alot of choices and different things to do that I happen to love, one of my top 3 FF games!

Now as for FFVI being considered the best just because of the popularity of FFVII, i believe you're wrong there too. FFVI is a great game because of the numerous amounts of characters, all with their own little story. There is no main character in the game, and don't even say Terra because you can beat the game without even having her in your party. Characters can die, characters do die, including one of my favorites in the game. Everyone made a big deal of the Aeris death, but I felt just as shocked when general leo died, I didn't see that one coming. FFVI is a great game, and it's graphics for the time were even superb. That is why FFVI is my favorite FF game, then FFVII, then FFIII, as a matter of fact...


all in all, if you think the new games are over criticised, look at why...
After FFVII these games had this brand on them that they had to be the greatest game ever, and if one person could have something they didn't like about it, the game sucked. I personally think it's stupid. Because honestly, take any FF game and don't compare them to eachother, but compare them to the other RPGs at the time of it's release, and there is maybe 1 other RPG that compares to it at it's time of release. People need to stop saying this FF game is better than that one because of this, and say, hey, FF games are all DIFFERENT from eachother, but compared to the other RPG i could have gotten FF was the better choice!

THE JACKEL

EDIT: I'd also like to note that by searching google for FF(n) was crap is not a good way of proving your point. i think 90% of "FF Fans" haven't even played the earlier FF, and earlier I mean before VII, and their only real complaint about them is the graphics. Seriously, I've played all of them through X, and I've already stated my top III, weirdly enough, if you want me to list all I've played in order I would!
