They certainly have a different appeal than FFVII and later. I would say that I appreciate the gameplay and overall challenge of the early FF titles. There's definitely more strategy involved and a difficult dungeon is all the more satisfying when you complete it. I would definitely say that...

None of those countries committed their atrocities in the name of atheism. The Soviet Union, socialist Albania, and North Korea operate(d) under their respective ideals (i.e. Marxism-Leninism, Juche, etc.). The very foundation of those ideologies are built on totalitarian command economics...

Personally, I don't think I'd have the patience. Any side-quest that requires you to rush through the game and skip FMVs isn't worth doing in my opinion.

...have liked to see this released in the states in (at least) 16-bit format? I'm hesitant to play the 3D remake because I feel like I'd be playing a different game. I don't know why it wasn't included in Final Fantasy Origins. Meh. Can't have everything I guess.

I just finished the Final Fantasy Origins version of the game yesterday. Final verdict: A decent game but not one of my favorite titles in the series. The EXP system was unique but grated on my nerves after a while (especially after realizing that I'd barely grinded my MP stats towards the end...

You just need to stick around the Fynn/Gaetra/Altair areas. If you venture too far, enemies will kill off your party. I ran into this same problem my first time playing the game (which was about a week ago).

Is anyone else not really interested in a remake? I would probably still buy it if it was remade but I like the game just the way it is. I want a full-blown sequel.

I'm a huge metalhead so I run into that kind of shit a lot. I think it's just an immaturity thing with kids trying to impress specific music niches. I'm not sure if I ever really had that phase since I continued to listen to Slayer, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc...

For the record, this thread was meant to be partially tongue-in-cheek. It's not like I'm deeply offended by someone finding FFVII overrated and I'd honestly like to see some more feedback from people who find it overrated and why they think so. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to...

This is excellent. I read your entire first post and it clears up just about every question I had about the plot. Cheers. I have to say that I like how Final Fantasy VII has "bad" story-telling that relies on subtle hints for plot comprehension. It encourages people to pay closer attention...

Something I've always wondered... Who opens Cloud's cell when Sephiroth attacks the Shinra HQ? The obvious answer would be Sephiroth but I don't really see that adding up.

I just get sick of people harping on about it on youtube and other places. It's been so highly regarded over the years that a niche of people that loathe the game have naturally come out of the wood-work.

Well I don't think it's convoluted because all the facts in the story are there. It's just a matter of understanding it in its entirety. There aren't any major holes in the plot that prevent me from understanding what happened.

Well it's not. Everything about this game is utterly amazing. I didn't play it until four years after it was released so I'm not being nostalgically biased circa 1997 here. It isn't without its flaws but what game isn't? It still holds the crown of being my favorite game of all time and I...

Spyro was a bit boring from what I remember. Been years since I've played it though. I don't think I ever played any of the sequels. I used to love Crash Bandicoot: Warped back in the day. I haven't played it in years but I remember it being a pretty damn good platformer. The other titles...

I didn't mean to. I was trying to edit my first post. The nature of the second disc is what leads to accusations, not whether or not it was actually rushed by the development team. The problem is that it feels rushed. Well yeah, Fei's story is interesting but his personality is lacking. I...

Well it frankly doesn't matter if there is no actual concrete evidence of the second disc being rushed since it still looks that way to me and many other gamers. Also, the second disc isn't the only shortcoming of the game. As (I think) I said before, some of the characters are a little weak. I...

I understood the gist of what was happening in the plot just fine but the second disc doesn't give you a chance to stop and think about what you just learned. Like I said, it feels crammed. I've heard from tons of people that the game was in fact unfinished due to time constraints and lack...

Just started this one the other day and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The experience system is unique but can be a bit frustrating. The story is more interesting than FFI's but still lacks any real depth. Perhaps it gets more interesting later.

Don't you think it's fair to say that disc 2 didn't do enough of a job of clearing up the plot? The game should have been longer. Plain and simple. It really does look like they crammed a bunch of plot into the second disc leaving a lot of questions open to interpretation (which can sometimes...
