I don't understand it's overrated-ness. It's about a cross-dressing attention wh*re who is searching for this lover; who claims to be an immortal demi-goddess. I just enjoy games with a story like that as much as I do others.
Word. I choose FFVII not that its a awful game, I rather liked the characters of RedXIII, yuffie, Barrett, Cid, and Aeries. But the game is flawed fundamentally. It was created for those who never touched RPG's before. Its definately the easiest final fantasy, evidanced that square felt the need to add Ruby and Emerald to cover up the distinct lack of challenging bosses. but not the worst. Worst Final Fantasy was FFVIII. My hate for that game started right around the point Rinoa joined the party. There she is meeting her dream date from the graduation party, and she's waxing romantic about her lost love Seifer who she didnt even care enough to look up while she was at the garden, busy flirting her ass off with squall. It was at that point i declared her to be Final Fantasy's biggest slut, and wished squall would have sense enough to bust a limit break on her.

regardless, i still choose VII. VIII is all but forgotten by this point, The hype for seven is nigh deafening right now thanks to the rumored remake (like we dont know it aint coming. C'mon square has invested millions in spinoff's and remakes of the first six final fantasy's and you mean to tell me they arent so desperate after loosing so many key players that they wouldnt remake the title for next gen systems. Pffffft. yah right.


And as for xenogears, I loved that game to pieces. It was squares best RPG of the 32-bit generation and they were blasted fools not to fund the team so they could ship the game complete. Their loss was namco's gain though.
