Meh, Sephiroth bores me as a villain. I love the Turks though, and Hojo is just a crazy mofo. He's definitely much more suited as a villain. Actually, I think it was Sephiroth who put it best, "that man is a walking mass of complexes." Come to think of it, Sephiroth was a MUCH better character in the flashbacks and stuff, when he was relatively normal. Once he got all evil and they tried to make him spooky or mysterious or w/e, I lost interest.

Ok then; I'll lengthen it:

FFVII?

The reason why I play it from time to time is because of Sephiroth. Really.

Especially when you're fighting him... and when he kills Aerith...

Sephiroth has made his mark in video gaming history I believe. The whole bad-guy-who-destroys-the-world concept really got developed by him in the early days of popular gaming IMO. He also got golden ten years ago. In other words, he's like the mid life crisis of gaming.

Even with that said though, this villain should just stay in FFVII. When you put him in say KH, you're really just using an old formula except with new ingredients.

So that's why I play FFVII from time to time; cause there's where Sephiy was best at. And also because of his Masamune.


Hopefully, this isn't considered spam. * crosses fingers*

I just like to reminisce the last time i got to a certain part in the game, how old i was and how i felt. When certain songs come on i just get a tingle through my spine that just feels so peaceful. My last playthrough I just got out of midgar, and the main theme plays and i just stood there listening to it because to me it was the most powerful song. So Nostalgia is my most pulling factor to replaying the game.. Just started to replay the game on psp.. Music is great with a set of skull candy earbuds.

Olawl, Sephi is a mid-life crisis

I rather agree with you about him though. I think Kefka did a much better job at the whole destroying the world thing, but VII is what helped bring RPGs to the mainstream and Cloud and Sephi were the poster boys. And he is a functional villain within VII, although not brilliant. I think some of the others make up for him though, such as Rufus and Hojo. But he definitely needs to be let go, he's simply too overused and there are other FF villains who deserve a chance to shine.

Lawl, and no worries, it's not spam. We just like it when opinions one has are expounded upon

Ah, I get that feeling alot from VII's song, and even more so from IX. Of course the musically-induced nostalgia has the nasty side effect of making me want to play w/e OST I'm listening to...which is half the reason I never finish my RPG's ;

It is mostly for nostalgia that I keep playing. Playing FFVII reminds me of being a kid, and all the fun stuff that comes with it. I guess the music is the most nostalgic part of FFVII for me, and I love all the tunes on there.

The other thing that keeps me coming back is Emerald/Ruby. I'm ashamed to admit that I've never conquered this little babies, and I end up abandoning my save files about 60 hours in to play another game.

Aye... I too have never been able to defeat them, mainly 'cause I never get enough time, and my bro or someone ends up playing the game, and unabling me to, for then it is HIS game...

However, the soundtrack is one of the best (if not the best) that there have been for any game like it, Also, the world, the characters... they're all... so... well made...

Okay, finally, I'm playing Crisis Core, and it urges me to replay... XD
