I agree with the FFVI part. But FFVII? It's hyped for a damn good reason.

Graphics:
For the one of the early playstation games, it had mind-boggingly beautiful graphics. It was the first game to tell a solid, extremely intricate story through FMVs. Not to mention the fact that "One Winged Angel" made the Sephiroth battle one of the most memorable battles in video-game history.

Gameplay:
It was loaded with mini-games and ways to actually alter the plot. To most other games, mini-games are just things to pass the time and a way to take a break from the main game. The mini-games actually served a huge purpose in FFVII. The interactive story called for major replayability.

The Materia system was probably the most innovative thing done in any video-game. There were infinite possibilities with customization.

FFVII being overrated? That's a load of bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] right there. If any FF deserves the overrated title, it's FFX. Linear map, linear story, boring gameplay.


The materia system being the most innovative? lol. The materia system was OK at best. Anybody could do anything. Your best fighter could be your best magic user, and had max HP and max MP, it shouldn't be like that. Final Fantasy should stick to job based systems. The materia system made FFVII way to ****ing easy. Anyone can do anything and any character becomes godly. Not cool.

As for the graphics they were pretty horrible. Now i know this game was the first final fantasy for playstation , but i felt like i was playing the part of a talking cube with misshapen body parts. Once again i understand it was a first for the final fantasy series but i could have made a character that has a better looking physical appearance with my ass. Had they spent more time giving the characters better bodies and looks they were too busy making clouds sword 2 times the size of cloud himself.

I can go on with the character developement too. Its FAR from great. You want great, go play FFT.


Now dont get me wrong. I love FFVII. But it is FAR from great. And it is one of the most overrated games ever. Along with Halo1 and 2.
