Anyway, it may sound corny now... but had any video game done something like that before? This was heavy drama for SNES days, regardless.

Im sure FFIV's level of detail was fascinating back in those days but even that storyline in comparison to the movies and tv of the time.KluYa, not KluSoYa.

Anyway I can understand people who feel its one of the greatest games ever. I feel the exact same torwards FFVII as I'd never played a game anything like it before. That doesnt mean either of them are though. It just made a good impression for me.
Yeah I forgot. I haven't passed that far from that part but I've been playing too much trying to kill the four fiends. Thing is yesterday before I went to bed I beat them and then walked proudly to the CPU and found out I had to fight. Which was complete bogus. So I had to turn it off and fight em all over...
EDIT: To Abonimatrix or something
Of course it had been done in books, movies, and tv for quite some time. Heck, Star Wars has the very similar 'dark enemy = main character's family'. But for video games, it was really ahead of its time. Especially, I feel, in Cecil's way of dealing with it.Im sure FFIV's level of detail was fascinating back in those days but even that storyline in comparison to the movies and tv of the time.KluYa, not KluSoYa.

And of course... I dont know if either of them are the greatest games ever. Or if there's even a game out there that would qualify. There are flaws, bland spots, and so on in pretty much every game ever made. It really all just varies person to person.
I think one thing both IV and VII had in common were their progressive ideas... and I wonder, had IV been the PS1 game and VII been the SNES game, would fan reactions be different? It's interesting to consider.
Almost certainly. It's unfortunate, but for every fan who evaluates a game based on its own merits, there are two that get caught up in system rivalries and the pathos of "old school vs. new school."
XD
The general strategy is to destroy the Defender so it stops healing the CPU. Don't destroy the Attacker, though, as this will lead the CPU to start using the 9999 damage GLOBE99/Globe199.
Anyway, as much as I love FFIV, I much prefer FFV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, and T. While the characters were certainly well developed at the time of release, they don't really compare to the characters of VI, VII, IX, X, or T. Moreover, the story, for all of its apparently "high drama," was lacking compared to the stories of every title which followed (well, the ones I listed, anyway). At the same time, FFIV had excellent music, and the game certainly had a "grandeur" to it. Further, the Developer's Room is perhaps the greatest easter egg ever.
I love IV to the death and I always will, but I'm having a hard time explaining why.
It just...grew on me, so to speak. I was fascinated by the premises and the introduction and I wasn't able to stop until I had finished it all, even if I had to put aside the other games I was playing at the time.
Why that? FF VI had better graphics, music and storyline and a bigger and more customizable party, so why?
I suppose it was a mix of different things, including the general feeling I got from it. FF IV is captivating in the way old epic stories were, it appeals to the archetipal part of me. And I loved, absolutely loved, Kain's charachter. From his looks, to his story, to his unrequited love and the way he switches allegiances and such. How both King Baron and Rosa loved Cecil more than him and still he tried to hide his resentful feelings out of his loyalty to both...Beautiful, grealty portrayed. Even by today's standards, but with much simpler means.
You don't have to analyze it that much, it was just a fun game, plain and simple.
Ditto
Right now, I'm putting off FFVI, FFI, Radiata Stories (Human-Side)...and that's it, I think. FFIV is just so enticing.
I know analyzing too much a game is bad, but I wanted to get an explanation for my obsessive love for it.
After all, maybe it is so lovable also because the storyline is clear and simple, no big unsolved mysteries and very little speculation crap...
