If your complaint about an RPG game from the PS era is about graphics, you've lost your right to complain about the game.
Graphics mean diddly *** for an RPG. If it's a good RPG, you would enjoy it even if it were nothing but text and this imajenayshun thing old people speak of.
Yet one of the 'selling points' of Final Fantasy VII has always been the awful graphics.
Goood god that was alot of dam reading (scaned most the posts after 10 @_@)
Just my two cent. Imo one of the leading Reasions FF7 was "the best game ever made" to some ppl, is because it was the the 1st game *atleast one of the 1st* to come out with "3d" polygon Graphics. FF7 was Revolunary for its time.
And it was the 1st game i ever bough with my own money =P
Story isn't to hard to get how ever to understand alot of it you need to do most the side quests, like if my memory serves me, Sepheroths Father was Hojo, and elena" (sP) the woman that Vencent loved (the one who gives you his ultimate weapon) was sephie's mother, @,@
zack isn't mentioned alot, but if you do side quests, you get Cloudes Flash backs, (Mainly in the shinra mannor)
(* FF crisis core basicly only added to 7 IMO backing up Clouds History of Major Mako poisening, and him haveing the S Gene "Sepheroth gene; this, i asume is what Hojo did to Cloud after they take him from The Reactor in Nebeilhime (sp)
FF8 good game, Couldn't get in to it all that well, 1st played it @ Toys R us, lol back when it was on a Demo, with Ledgon of Dragoon (Got to find my copy of that game >.< its rare lol..) had no idea what i was playin untell a few years later when i bought FF8 for my self. but thats just how I se it
back on topic: Worst game Ever, Right now, xD
Turning Point, Fall of liberty, for the 360, Hate this game to no end =\ Not even past chapter 2
Oh, that or Secret of Mana, for the ps2... Waist of 60$...
Side note: edit: After seeing the post below mine, Lol no. I wasn't saying Graphcis was the only thing good about FF7, If you where implying that to my post, i'm not shure, I had no Idea about FF7 or any FF game i was only 13~ at most when i bought it (roughly 6th grade) but it quickly became my most beloved game :D played it over & over and over~
--yea i got alot of spelling mistakes >.< i'm laying down as i type all this, and being up for allmost 40 hours with less then 10hrs of sleep kills me~
When it first came out it was a visual treat to be sure, in cutscenes and backgrounds (overworld character models always sucked, but the backgrounds/cutscenes/battles looked great), remember when those graphics were cool and cutting edge, but if graphics mean a damn thing to you, you should be playing madden or fps shooters or something. RPGs are about stories, side quests, exping.

And graphics add to the experience.
If two RPG's come out at the same time with the exact same story, system etc. one had VII graphics, and one had XIII graphics which is the better game?
Will I enjoy both? Sure.
Will I enjoy the one with better graphics better? Definitely.
I've played, completed and loved text based adventure games where the closest you get to graphics is ASCII art, but to say graphics mean nothing is stupid.
Oh and my wife loves FF8. which, as a rule of thumb, means i hate it >.>
Your wife owns.

Illusion of Gaia was an amazing game, fond memories there, but I always read way to much into the story line.
If you think about the sub context of it as once you start aging life can never be the same again. Your friends in that game all leave you eventually, whether it be death, marriage, starting a business etc, by the end of the game you are alone.
Once you physically move past portions of the game you can never re-visit them.
There are only so many healing items that you can get in the game (referencing ability to correct your mistakes).
During the battle with the end boss, you are catapulted through time, to where everything you know and love has vanished, and in the end it starts over, it is the cycle of renewal.
Like I said, I read way to much into the symbolism in that game- and I love it.

bwhaaa wall o text break it up then i'll read gadget!
Ugh this game, don't get me wrong it has some nice levels even when It was killing me over and over. I just regret playing It I lost some of my sanity like when I got to the spike wall, I kept seeing "Press R To Try Again" when I closed my eyes. Couldn't get the other picutre to work so I used this video shows what kills you the most spikes, apples (or cherrys), and the moon.
FFVII is indeed one of the most overrated games ever made. It does not deserve near the amount of praise it receives. In my opinion FFVI is the greatest of the series.
Just... no. I tried numerous times to enjoy the game, but none of it made sense. Normal fights you could just button mash and win without trying, but boss battles were pretty much an instant game over.
MMO's are excluded, as countless people who play will say they regret ever starting WoW or FFXI (since for the most part they take up so much of your time and become like crack where you're just unable to quit..)
I'm talking about single player games that are just so shitty you can't believe you invested/wasted any time on..
To date, mine is Far Cry 2.. I've never seen such repetivness in a game, literally practically every mission was just driving to a specified spot and blowing something up... Even using the bus, it would take you 10-15 minutes to get there (because the roads wound around to an absolutely ridiculously length and none of the cars could handle going offroad, though the most common (the jeep) was designed for just such a purpose.. It would get suck on rocks and in water that even a BMW would go through without a second thought (and I do mean literally for anyone who's never played it, just ask someone who has.)
