Just as there are thousands of 'omg FFVII is great' reviews. They dont bring anything new to the table, either. Reviews and bashing articles and all of it, its all been done a thousand times. But I dont see anything wrong with someone hashing it again, its not like Im being forced to read it.
It was interesting to read and made me laugh a few times. But I don't like FFVII any more or less. It's just a game, it's up to the person who plays it whether its worth their time or not. The only point where the article made me a little angry is when he states:
"And then there are the gamers who totally love FFVII. Inexplicably, they number in the millions. Some of them are simply nice but misguided people, but generally speaking, they're youngsters who had never actually played a role-playing game before 1997. (Or who suffer from intense, debilitating head trauma.)"
Here he is implying that only his opinion matters, all others be damned. I would say go to hell, but its the internet and I don't really care enough.
THE MEW HATH NO NEED OF A SIG >:3
This is classed as a good review?
The reason why I love FFVII is because of malfunctioning grey matter? That I'm hopelessly mistaken? That it's not even a true 'RPG'? That it came first?
And then going on to say that it started the downfall of FF games, and that the plot isn't even a story - how ignorant and stupid can you get? This is hate, pure and simple.
It seems that he just wants to make excuses for why people love the game so much.
3 things are to be said
1 he's or she a goth
2 folks are dumb where i come from
3 he or she likes thing that involve a coulple of guys using swords for other purposes
Chick Chick BOOM
I was obsessed with FFVII for a long time after I first played it (my first console RPG btw) but since then I've been able to step back and look at it from the same perspective as the author of this review does. Chrono Trigger is now easily my favourite Square game and I also realise that Sephiroth wasn't such an awesome villian (particularly compared to Kefka and Kuja). There's some stuff in there I don't really agree with but at the end of the day, it's just another review that's good for a few laughs.
he has a point but i still don't get what he sees so badly in ff7...i've got to face it, i'm just 'deluded'.

These are pretty broad, and stereotypical statements, which hold no merit. I for one played a bunch of those early FFs, including FF1 when if first came out. And I REALLY enjoy FFVII. I'm playing another quest in it right now.Originally Posted by FallenAngel411
He's just bashing for the sake of bashing. I'm sure he's just a cry baby hiding behind his computer, and finds this is the best way to let his sookiness, anger and frustration out. He's obviously just annoyed with all the fanboys/girls.
WICKED-AWESOME SIG.
ROFL
But I laughed (because I couldn't understand why) when he said that the minigames detract from the main story:
Why NOT have minigames?

While I do like the fact that he points out many things some people refuse to see concerning characterization, I am a bit disappointed that he uses these things to conclude the game is of poor quality. Just because every character in the game has deep running flaws and weaknesses doesn't make for a bad story. In fact, I would argue that it actually makes for a more interesting one. Yes, the characters have crazy flaws that perhaps aren't that realistic, but the fact that there really is no saving grace for any of these characters fascinates me. They have to get by on the skin of their teeth, because there's no final realization of "Oh, I've been wrong this entire time!" In the end of the game, Cloud is still confused and cold, Tifa is still a needy, weak woman, Barret is still jaded, Nanaki is still indifferent, Vincent is still depressed, Cid is still a bastard and Aeris will always remain manipulative.
Yes I skipped Yuffie and Cait Sith, because I feel they have no dimension whatsoever. So nyah.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I think the sales numbers speaks for themselves. FFVII is not a bad game.
That's exactly what this is all about. Things that are extremely popular usually get this kind of hate from certain types of people.

These people are what you call nerds. Nerds have a problem with liking things that are really popular or things that the majority loves. They may have once loved something, but once it starts getting a lot of attention, they deem it as no longer being "cool." We tend to ignore them and shrug them off as a minor annoyance in modern day society.
Id like to say that its opinion. but to put it plain and simple, its just bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. The review itself was poorly written and no self respecting gamer would take it seriously
*gasp*Zidane:AT LAST! Another person with common sense, I've been saying this stuff since I first played FFVII.
Who let you in here?! Bad boy/girl! *Brings back to FF9 forum*.
7 is the shiz and the only reason people seem to hate this one so much is because it's loved so much at the same time. And other people can't stand when people don't love what they love. That's why they bash the goodness that is 7. Besides like PontiusPilate said it's just an opinion that means that it isn't neccesarily correct 100 %.
