Final Fantasy VII: Overrated?

[The Crystal]

I take back what I said about not coming back.

I do know the definition of the words I'm using. I hated the story of FFVII, I hated the characters, I hated the plot holes. The only redeeming part of the series at all is the music, which is the only reason whatsoever that I finished the game. Now tell me this: if the story is bad, if the characters suck, if the story has too many gaps in it to be completed, and yet people still love it, does that not describe something that is completely overrated? Furthermore, if we're not talking about opinions, how the hell are you supposed to discuss if the game is overrated or not?

Now before you start insulting my intelligence again with condescending remarks, I would ask that you read what I said again:

I'll say now that I fully agree with Sagensyg here, but since I'm already walking on eggshells here (because heaven forbid I have an opinion against yours)-- I don't like FFVII. I don't like the story. I don't like the characters. I don't like all of the countless plot holes. Most of all, I don't like the squealing fanbase that would pay full price for whatever FFVII-related game comes out. It's sickening to see that. Square-Enix knows that if the fans like it enough, they'll buy anything, no matter how much of a quick cash-in it is. I bet if Square-Enix had the FFVII logo printed on toilet paper, the fans would buy it.

Don't even reply to this, because I'm not coming back in here. Is FFVII overrated? Hell yes. If Square-Enix would stop with all of these knockoffs, they could get back to making more new, interesting games instead of milking a dead cow.

I never said it was overrated BECAUSE it was popular. I said I find it irritating that such an unimpressive game is so popular. The relevance to being overrated ended after I mentioned the fanbase-- which I didn't say I hated because they make the game popular, it's that they're so damn annoying and would blindly buy any piece of junk that has anything to do with FFVII. And since they would do such things makes the game overrated-- because something is overrated if it gets way too much attention even when it is extremely unimpressive. So in that case, popularity does have to do with beng overrated, because if it wasn't popular, it wouldn't be overrated.

Now I'm done. Like Sagensyg also said, you can't change my opinions, and I can't change yours. But I won't let you insult my intelligence just because you failed to read what I said in depth. It seems that you skipped everything I said and focused only on the words "FFVII", "Popular", and "Overrated".

Ah, I understand now. So, because you think FFVII is a crap game, that means it is. And it shouln't be popular for that reason(for being crap, in your opinion).

LOL

Another fact for you dude: Your opinion is not a fact. Just becauce YOU think FFVII is a crap game, doesn't mean it is.
And it's obvious you are blinded by hate. You are even insulting the entire FFVII-fanbase.

It's obvious now, that you are a waste of time. Bye.

*facepalm*

Here we go again.

Shall I define 'overrated' for you?

o·ver·rate [oh-ver-reyt]
–verb (used with object), -rat·ed, -rat·ing.
to rate or appraise too highly; overestimate

If you cannot use opinions in a thread where an opinion is being asked, the point of the thread itself is gone. It wouldn't be a discussion if everyone had to agree. The question at hand was 'Is FFVII Overrated?' not 'FFVII is not overrated. Agree with me'. This happens all of the time. I state my opinion on the game and I'm always on the receiving end of the tongue-lashing because I just don't agree. I don't give a rat's ass if you think the game is overrated or not. I didn't question your opinion, so you shouldn't question mine. I said my part and you just had to attack me for it. Do I think FFVII is overrated? YES. Do you have to agree with me? NO. Am I allowed to say what I want regarding the subject? YES. Should that impact your opinion? NO. Am I allowed to disagree with you? APPARENTLY NOT.

Do I think FFVII is a crap game? Yeah, pretty much. Is my opinion fact? No, it's an opinion and I'm entitled to have mine as much as you're entitled to yours. It's clear that you're blinded by always having to be right and that you are the epitome of why I hate the fanbase so much. It always has to be 'agree or you're an idiot'. Perhaps I am blinded by hate. I wouldn't be if I was allowed to voice my damn opinion without always being the subject of a bitchfest afterward.

Bye.

Ahhhh... So, because it's your opinion, no one can argue against it, right? Well... In my opinion, the planet Earth is a giant cookie. Don't argue with me, because I have the right to state my opinion.

.............

Opinions have to be based on facts. If you have your facts wrong, your opinion IS wrong(yes, opinions can be wrong too).

By your argument, the success of the game = it being overrated. Sorry but that's wrong. Go find the definition of the word "overrated" AND "popular"/"successful" before using them. They don't have the same meaning, and that's a fact.
