Yes, that's definitely it. Definitely :rolleyes2Originally Posted by Bolivar
The topic of 'What is Fantasy' has everything to do with this topic. How can you give an opinion on what was the best fantasy of the series, without at least sharing what you think of fantasy.
Fantasy is something out of the realm of believable, once you start to lean closer to a Science Fiction setting/story it becomes much more believable, and to me FFVII and FFVIII strayed closer to that.
Just look at the first few sections of FFVII, you start in a huge city. The entire strife (lmaowaffles) is that the reactors of the city are draining the life out of the planet. That isn't fantasy at all. We move on to Kalm, and have a nice little memory. We end up going to another reactor, and the reactor is housed with scientific experiments. Even the magic of the game is 'debunked'.
Even if I didn't know the definition of Fantasy, FFVII still satisfied my definition of Science Fiction.Sephiroth: You were in SOLDIER and didn't even know that? …the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients is held in the materia. Anyone with this knowledge can freely use the powers of the Land and the Planet. That knowledge interacts between ourselves and the planet calling up magic……or so they say.
Cloud: Magic……a mysterious power…
Sephiroth: Ha, ha, ha!
Cloud: Did I say something funny?
Sephiroth: A man once told me never to use an unscientific term such as mysterious power! It shouldn't even be called 'magic'! I still remember how angry he was.
Cloud: What was that?
Sephiroth: Hojo of Shinra, Inc. … An inexperienced man assigned to take over the work of a great scientist. He was a walking mass of complexes.
