A lot of people think that FFVII fanboys are fans who never played or enjoyed the old school FF (I-VI) and that they only care for FFVII which is not true (well I hope so). I both love the old school FF and the 3D FF games and I really don't understand why there is a war between FF games. A war between Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy is normal but a war between a game of a serie and another one of this serie? WTF!?

Oh, and about the battle system, I think it's the only bad thing about FFVII, well... not bad but least good. The materia system is good but when we had FFVII for the first time, it was kind of weird to only have 3 characters because FFI,II,III,V and VI had 4 and V had 5. It was kind of a letdown but the materia system make it better (hopefully :P)
