Wow this article REALLY hates this game

Yet he says FFVI and Chrono Trigger are just so perfect... I normally don't get all wrapped up in the "I'm anti-ThisandThis because it's popular and I can only like obscure things" but this article was pretty brutal :O.

He attacked the story and the gameplay...I love Chrono Trigger, but as a game to FFVII it is both technically and at its core a weaker title. Of course, it's all just opinion I suppose.

Have you ever noticed that when something comes out and it's popular always a few years later it becomes cool to criticize? I remember when this came out all my friends gushing over it and now they're all like, "Oh, THAT game, it was boring and mediocre at best." I call this the "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the Best Game of all Time Until a Few Years Pass and then it is the Worst Effect". I'm working on shortening my Effect name down ^_^;

I guess it's easy to forget what it's like in 1997 when this game was all that and a barrel of jellybeans... *Sigh*, how my poor FFVII has aged... Don't worry, Lunar still loves you *snuggle*.

Zidane: AT LAST! Another person with common sense, I've been saying this stuff since I first played FFVII.

If you're agreeing with the person of the article, I agree, too.
Almost everything in the article sums up what I think about VII.
But I'll still will play it through the end. Because I want to hold my final judgement until I finished the game.

Tehre are some godo parts about the game, though.
Liek it is really fun to battle and lv up. Teh characters respond quiet fast.

But the bad far outwaights the good.
But, again, it all comes down on personal taste.

(Although the writer CERTAINLY was right about Kefka and Sephiroth.)

Has it become a fad to bash this game? If its so bad why is it the ebst seling rpg of all time? Its getting stupid. Most of the people contsantly bashing NEVER played games before the advent of the playstation, and have been bottle fed 3d graphics and fmvs. When VII came out, 3d was still in its infancy, I never saw a fmv before I played 7, A few 3d games, but only like sonic 3d for the mega drive.
I still love you seven. If people keep on whining about the graphics Im going to tear there legs off and beat them with it.
I still play this game 9 YEARS after it was made. I threw X in the bin halfway threw my second time.

I'm gonna rip people appart if they continue bashing IX because teh main character doesn't have a big sword and spikey hair.

Hate for Sephy? I would love to see the response if Sephiroth looked just like Kefka and Kefka like Sephiroth... Then we'd all be bashing VII for it's silly villain that can't be taken seriously and praising VI for it's wonderfully dark villain that was realistic. Jeez :rolleyes2

This is where I draw the line on anti-Fanboyism.
I think that guy went a bit too far on it, although he had some VERY good points.
I still thought FFVII was a great game despite the problems it had.

[BlackWaltz]

Sorry but thats the biggest load of crap ive ever seen. If theres one thing that cant be knocked on this game is its story which is timeless, and to say FFVII has no plot, i stoped reading from there. Pure hate trash...

[Griff]

Quite possibly the most factual article about ff7 I have ever read. Especially the part about Cloud's character.

[TheAbominatrix]

Opinion. Pure opinion.

Anyway. I really like this article. It's pretty well thought out, and even the writer says we can do without people who vehemently hate the game.

[McLovin']

Damn heavy gamers.

It is just a game; no need to get so in depth. :rolleyes2

[Jessweeee♪]

I liked it...though it was slightly annoying that the characters had three different looks (field, battle, fmv) and they all looked like lego people...

Zidane: Whoa, whoa, whoa, no ripping apart people who bash FFIX, it isn't right. That article simply says to me, that FFVII; however, is not as perfect as most seem to want it to be. Sehpiroth? He was a good villian, better than Kekfa IMO, but Sehpiroth was a momma's boy over someone something that wasn't even his mom, that's the only flaw I saw in him.

People don't like it because of annoying fanspersons. If those annoying obsessive fanspersons were gone, I can guarantee that it wouldn't get as much hate. If something is overhyped, it seems to be hated.

I actually like the game, without overly obsessing about it, so we both win.
