Both are excellent games, but I don't think VIII compares to VII.
I like Kung-Fu.

But seriously, you're just as good as me.

WRONG I amThank you, but you I think you are the best person on the thread, not me...
I think FFVII is totally the best game ever, why? because the story was great, the music was great, the graphics were incredible when the game was made, and it really was the starting point for all the great games out there today! i dont think its overrated either. and if you really wanted to know some reasons, you should've put this in the FFVII threads.
I gotta say that my first RPG and my favorite is FFVII. I didnt knew anything about RPGs since then. A friend of mine told me that I had to play an FF. So he ask me which one did I wanted to played first. He has every FF and he recommended FF7. For that time I had a brand new PS2. I didnt care for the graphics, it was just awesome, I had it for a long time, I beated Emerald weapon and Ruby weapon, I got a Golden Chocobo, and even had all the strongest weapons and all summons, so I played for a lot of time, I didnt even care for new PS2 releases. Then, one day, my friend came home a take away hisFF7, but he gave FF8. After playing FF7, FF8 was extremely boring, but what I hated the most was that once you got to the last level you didnt had anything to do. I remember cursing the game for not letting me go back to the world map, then the game must have heard me. I finally founded the way out and I was like"Yeah, now Im going to______ city and make my adamantium weapons, Yeayha". Then the game said "You told me that I sucked, now take this!!" and when I got to ________ city, they were shield that didnt let me go in, I said "&*#@, lets try in the next one".
So, what I wanted to say was that FF7 was better no for graphics, nor music, and maybe not for the story, but because, even after beating the game, you could come back for more and DO things like trying to beat Emerald and ruby weapon, getting a Golden Chocobo, etc.
Plus, for me, Cloud>Squall, Sephiroth>Ultimecia, Materia>Junction system, FF7>FF8
Hey, Im giving it a chance unlike you, who probably never beat FF8 :rolleyes2 . Im reevaluating my opinion on FF7 instead of being hypercritical of it. I suggest everybody do the same, because there really is something good in every FF if you look at from an unbiased position and you quit badmouthing it like a little newb fanboy. FF8 is my favorite, but im not going to childishly bash FF7 anymore cause its not. FF7 has some good stuff in it, its just that I like FF8 better.Originally Posted by Shiny_Griever

FF8 has all those elements if you are unbiased and appreciate for what it is and not say " its not FF7 so it sucks ", then youll see it.Originally Posted by cloud_doll

WTF? Personal attack! Besides you've basically repeated what you've said. On the flip side this thread seriously needs to be moved to general final fantasy thread. Make up your mind man, either you like the games or you don't. They're both different so you can't compare them. Also, how can you say to people don't say "FF8 sucks" when you've bashed FF7 this whole thread?Originally Posted by Noj_R
Personal attack?! Didnt you read anything I said. Im not going to bash FF7 anymore. Im going to appreciate it for what it is, not what it isnt. I like the music, the magic system, and sephiroth, etc. Just not as much as FF8. Im sorry I bashed FF7, Im sorry! AH! Happy? Good. Your right, they are both different, thats why we should appreciate them for what they are and not what they arent. Im merely changing my attitude toward the whole debate since an attitude like i had before gets nowhere and is very immature.Originally Posted by Shiny_Griever
Whats so wrong with reevaluating your opinion anyway?

Cloud - wimpy, confusing, irritating
Aeris - just a pain in the ass (thank GOD she died!!!)
Tifa - she was okay
Barret - had a pissed off attitude, but mostly no personality
RedXIII - was cool but again, hardly any personality
Cait Sith - was kinda just there
Yuffie - theif, annoying, especially when she stole our materia
Cid - cursed a lot, I guess he had some personality...
Rufus - eh...
Scarlet - hated her guts, more than Aeris
Sephiroth - was cool until he turned into a psycho killer
Turks - only characters I actually liked aside from Tifa, especially Reno
A GIGANTIC prercentage of the FFVII characters had NOTHING, there was NOTHING to them, they were just BARELY ALIVE!!!![]()
Ha, FFVII cast had basically NO background history!!! Just admit it, FFVIII HAD SO MUCH MORE!!!

2. I said Ultimecia pocessing people was surprising. No kidding we had to defeat a sorceress...:rolleyes2
4. Come on...the FFVIII ending was the best ending out of ALL THE FF GAMES!!!FFVII was one of my least...it was alright, extremely predictable...:kaoindif: I guess it was the best they could do with such a weak story.

Heheheh...I waiting for you to thrash me...![]()
Actually nothing because I like you new opinion better anyway. I just think you shouldn't really tell people that they shouldn't bash one of the games when you've been bashing the other. And you gave me a personal attack...Originally Posted by Noj_R
Wait a minute since when was Tifa a Turk?Originally Posted by *~Angel Wing~*
Also, the characters DID have a backgroud history...now you're just making things up.
I said I was sorry about bashing FF7, and I am going to playt it again before passing final judgement, but in the meantime, I have bigger things to worry about:
Future Esthar is back![]()
in his final form...Safer Future Esthar!!
Wow, I have no intetion of thrashing you, because you didn't play FFVII.Originally Posted by *~Angel Wing~*
I like Kung-Fu.

Good call Angel, we can't let these people bashing VIII all the time! Fight the good fight! l o l
Ill just say I disagree.Originally Posted by *~Angel Wing~*
