There is nothing wrong with expecting and desiring a decent plot. FF7 on the whole has a great plot (I consider it the greatest for a game so far). Being a game does not make it exempt and there is no shame in taking a story seriously, to do otherwise in what is a character/story driven game is rather lame.Originally Posted by Omecle
I think someone here takes the game too seriously.
One of FF7's biggest strengths is its story, and it is fantastic to see how so many people (yourself included it would seem), fail to see why story must be good with such a game.
The retorts I always get for criticising a story are
"it is just a game"
"it is a fantasy"
"it is a sci fi"
"it doesn't matter"
"you take it too seriously"
If you ask me, that is just a poor excuse for saying you don't care about a story or simply don't understand why it is important in a game like Final fantasy. It isn't even close to constructive reasoning either, it is just an attempt at diversion by attacking the person and not the argument.
