Most annoying anything final fantasy related???

[Bolivar]

Final Fantasy VI. I actually like the game; the fanbase is the most annoying of all time, though. They're always trying to shove down your throat that FFVI is the best, when they really only like it because it was their first RPG/FF/Video Game. They cosplay too much, too.

You just defined the FFVII fanbase at the exact same time.

The EXACT same thing as this, except I'm directing it to FFVII, where it's far truer than for FFVI.

FFVII fanboys often love saying that it's not only the best FF ever, or the best RPG ever, but the best video game, ever. And then the really hardcore fanboys whine about how FFVII is over-hated.

And I'm willing to bet there are far more Sephiroth and Cloud cosplayers than any other FF character cosplayer.

Plus I don't actually like the game.

My friend and I look at bad cosplays quite often, and I rarely see anybody cosplay as any character from FF VI [I've seen it once in a while, but it's extremely rare]. I believe this is mostly because the characters were simplistic sprites, with limited exposure to the actual character designs, and most people who played this game don't have its instruction booklet [therefor, they don't even know the full scope of what the actual character designs look like]. However, I still see FF VII and FF VIII chars quite often. Aside from FF VII and FF VIII, most common cosplays are things like FF X, Tales games, Trigun, Naruto, InuYasha, Kingdom Hearts, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, anything by CLAMP, and skanky cat girls that are actually overweight [in short, most of the generic/typical games/anime out there].

As for the FF VI fanbase, I don't really meet any people that try to cram down your throat that it's the best FF ever. For most people that played FF VI when it first came out, it usually wasn't their first RPG/FF. Most people that like it do speak well of it, but I've never seen anybody boast it as "OMG THIS THING IS THE smurfING BEST EVER" due to it being outdated in comparison to modern games graphics-wise, music-wise, and dialogue-wise, especially FF VII [this isn't modern, but it is far more than FF VI and usually ends up being compared with it].

I don't really know you that well, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but it sort of seems like this statement is trying to provoke a flame war or something. And it's true that I frown upon most things FF VII related, and that I like FF VI, however I'd hardly tote FF VI as the "best RPG ever" or whatever.

Actually it was a joke because it's word for word verbatim what the FFVI fanbase cannot stop saying about FFVII. Funny how you guys all expressed it's the "exact" (using the exact word "exact") sentiment you all feel.

And Khalin I wasn't trying to start a flame war, I'd like to think I get a pass for all the years I've heard my fellow EoFFers express the sentiment.

My point though is that maybe we should all get along and accept that there are people who like FFVII for legitimate reasons, who didn't experience it as their first RPG, and who have qualified reasons for calling it the best game they've ever played.

Not me, of course.
