Dumb question: Would I like this game?

October 26, 2007, 9:56 PM

I think FF 9 is the best ever. I like 12 pretty well. I prefer the medieval style, reminiscent of the very first FF game. So I have heard great things about 7, but I have to wonder--if it's so sci-fi/techno based, will I like it? Opinions appreicated!

I think you will. But my opinion doesn't matter, go try it for yourself to experience the magic that is Final Fantasy Sex God....errr I mean VII.

There's soo many threads like this one already in here...

If you enjoy playing a game with a good set of characters and a great storyline, then yes, I think you'll enjoy this one. However, the graphics are nothing like FF9 and certainly nothing like XII - If you're a graphics matters in my game type of person... Other then that, It's a great game, not one of my all-time favorites, but still a great FF.

It depends on what you want. If you want something medieval, then no. But I was doubtful about VII at first, and ended up really liking it.

As for the other great Final Fantasy games...

VIII has a wonderful story, but is more realistic than the other "Final Fantasy"s really. The music is wonderful and the graphics are probably the best out of all the Final Fantasy games on the PS1.

Tried X? Well, that's got a nice Asian feel, and a marvelous story-line. The music is beautiful, the world breath-taking... I just hated the sphere grid, but many didn't/don't. =]

If I were you, I'd look at these threads:
Can't find one for VII.

There you can find various opinions on the games, which are really helpful.

You would probably like Final Fantasy VII. It's far from Medieval style. Still, I don't think that shouldn't stop you from enjoying playing FFVII. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

There is a lot to be said about FFVII....So here are a few wikipedia links to check out:

FFVII is a must play game! Also, I suggest you don't see Advent Children before you play FFVII.

Ooh I am so biased but I love this game sooo much, I think I prefer the sci fi/techno style which is prolly why I also love VIII but there Is also alot of magic to it aswel (in the story sense of it being magical....lol *confuses self) It really captivated me in every sense, I think I don't rate IX as highly myself because it's not really sci-fi at all....I guess the only way to find out is to play for yourself, the worst that can happen is you don't like it!!

*note I am not a trekkie LOL*

Jesus, just play it and see what you think. Most people end up loving it. You may end it, we cant make this choice for you ...
Pointless.

Jeez, if you don't have something to say, don't post.

Everyone else was extremely helpful, especially the link to the thread that had a thorough review. So thanks to everyone else.

I did try a little of 7 a very long time ago and didn't care for what little I experienced, and I saw part of Advent's Children and turned it off, being like, "WHAAAAT?" But having heard so very many good things about 7 I thought I'd ask the experts. I'm glad I did; it sounds like it's worth giving another shot to! Sorry to have "offended" some folks by asking for opinions and input.

Eh hello? Mod? Dont order us around please. And I did give something to the thread. Offended? Eh, no Im not offedned at a pointless thread being made ...

How do we know you'll like it? We dont even know you, we dont know your likes and dislikes, so how on earth are we going to assume you will like the game??? You may go and get it and get bored with it about 4 hours in. You said you didnt care for it before and AC changed your mind ... Good God.

But hey, its your cash. Not ours.

I honestly didn't like the game all too much when I started playing. Up to a certain point (once you exit midgar) is when I started to get into it more and actually started enjoying it.

But if you liked IX then you should really enjoy this game I think. Even though graphics don't match up to that of IX the gameplay I thought was much more enjoyable. I would say it is more scifi/techno based expecially with the Weapons (not the ones you equip) and places like Junon and Midgar.
