grim07, it seems that everyone else in this thread understands what revolutionary means except for you, so I'm going to explain what revolutionary is:

Revolutionary
- radically new or innovative; unexpected, outside or beyond established procedure, principles, etc.: a revolutionary discovery.
As I have stated before, being new in-and-of-itself does not make something revolutionary. If this was the case, getting a new haircut or trying a new type of food would be revolutionary, but it's far from it. FFVII had several new ideas, themes and technologies used, but none were beyond established procedures or unexpected. Yes, it was new to have 3D graphics, but it was expected that gaming would move to the 3D realm with the next generation of consoles after the 16-bit generation. Yes, there was greater depth in the story, but the series is always striving to tell more in-depth stories as a whole, so again, this is expected and the natural progression.

For FFVII to be revolutionary it would have had to have a radical departure from any of the "norms" that the series held, which it didn't, it only expanded and improved upon other ideas.

So, in response to your last post:
So in the end, we all agree that FFVII brought new ideas, or as you all so grudgingly admit "vastly improved ideas" to the table. Which is the deffinition of revolutionary...
Yes, we did agree that there were improvements, but no, they do not meet the definition of revolutionary.
