Pros and cons of Final Fantasy VII

Pros

I always did and still think the graphics are great. I love the soundtrack, its by far my favourite of the FF series. I loved all the characters (yes including cait sith, altho I never used him in battle) I even shed a tear after his sacrifce in the temple of the ancients, but well im an over emotional muppet
I thought the story was fantastic, it had me gripped from start to finish

Cons: random battles when Im lost >_<
As much as I love Yuffie......I hated her stealing my materia

Edit: forgot about all the bloody sequels >>
Id of rather just had a remake than 15 sequels & perequels. Back the f... off squenix <<

Pros:

~Memorable characters that stick with you even after more than 10 years have passed.

~Brilliant soundtracks.

~Complex, yet engaging storyline that still kept your mind working even after so many years have passed.

~The simple but unique materia system that offers a variety of ways for players to enjoy the battles more.

~Mini-games located in the Gold Saucer and Fort Condor. Awesome stuff!

~The breeding of chocobos. Hey, it was fun mating chocobos together...


Cons:

~The endless love triangle debate that fans get so worked up for.

~In the game screen, there's parts where Cloud gets smaller and smaller and smaller until he's but an almost tiny dot, and you can't even see where you're going anymore.
 
I forgot the crappy translation...

Oh and the way Barrett spoke kind of annoyed me aswel. He yelled to much >> ''*%%$%# pizza''?? Get some better dialogue pleaser you are a grown man
 
Pros:
Awesome Storyline
HUGE melons (Tifa)
Awesome Sephy themesong
Materia System
Dying Characters XD

Cons:
Suck-my-bum 3D models, (i've seen better on PS1)

Catching Chocobos sometimes ticked me off.
 
my replies in yellow...

I saw every FF7 character as bland and I felt no sympathy for any of them. Their backstories were awful and cliché and set themselves up nicely for possible spin-offs.

Cloud - The wannabee silent protagonist. Starts silent only to be reduced to a blubbering wreck on the grounds that he's a puppet. At least I think he was a puppet hhis story was so 0_o that I was had no idea what was going on half the time.

Clouds story is ALOT deeper than just being a 'puppet'. I haven't played FFVII in a little while so i cant give you every single detail about it, but Clouds story is alot more than that.

Barret - stereotypical black person. (See Chris Rock on black people and niggers) Swears alot, loves his kid and has two jobs (barman and terrorist). Comes from a mining village/entrance to a theme park. (funnybones?)

I hear this alot, Barret was not a sterotypical black person at all. He had the characteristics of many black males living in America, what with him saying 'damn' and 'shit' every now and then, but then again, not just black people say that. You must have a sterotype of black people to think he fits that sterotype.

You're saying white people dont swear alot, love their kids and have two jobs???


Tifa - The girl every girl wants to be. attractive and knows martial arts. Does nothing to the plot other than eye candy and support said blubbering wreck. The childhood friends forever things was lulzsome tbh.

the childhood friends thing set up the story. If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't know Tifa's and Cloud's relationship up to now. It's around this time you find out Cloud was in SOLDIER and he was alongside Sephiroth... i thought it was done well, but each to his own

Aeris - Second girl who was painfully dull. Even her death sequence could have been more well done. We saw no real emotion from any of the other characters. Think forward to FFX when Tidus found out about Yunas fate. The speech really showed his emotion and was just wow. Did anyone really miss Aeris when she died. She did her bit - even whilst dead. Did she even need to be alive to begin with :S.

It makes me wonder if you've ever played FFVII by sayin that, or if you've played FFVII years & years after it came out and didn't feel the initial buzz. Everyone missed Aeries after she died. It was a complete shock because the first time you play it (if you've never read or heard anything about FFVII), you dont know Aries is going to die and when she does.....BOOM. it sets up more of the storyline

Red XIII - His story was alright but still the unsung hero syndrome. His father complex was a big heap of shit. Who cares if the dogs dad was a coward or hero (did we need to go through that cunting cave to find that out) Red should have loved him anyway.

just seems to me you're hating now... Red XIII's story was deep as it gets, with the Hojo experiments etc Cosmo Canyon was a key location in FFVII, you ought to know that...

Cid - Future wife beating redneck who swears, drinks and smokes. Not much more to him. Party used him for airship.

Cid has been in almost every FF game, but he had a bit more of a part in FFVII... I thought he was a good character and they made good use of him in FFVII

Yuffie - Managed to turn every player against her by putting you through the most irritating compulsory side quest ever. The materia fetish was jusst awful.

cant remember much of Yuffie...

Vincent - I probs hate this character the most. He has a background that all the gifted and talented of Oxford couldn't correctly put together - helped along thanks to a spin-off that played badly, looked badly and explained badly. He just wept when he saw Lucrecia gained another batshit power and carried on. The whole turk in the past thing reminded me of the retired widowed ex-cop who was disgraced from his position but comes back for the love of the deaded person.

i cant remember if i even got Vincent in my party. I really need to go through the game again and get it stuck in my head.
 
Suck-my-bum 3D models, (i've seen better on PS1)
thats probably because its from PS1

and the story can be viewed ambivalently, it was very complex and interesting, yet somewhat confusing

also its reputation means that it gets awful prequel/sequels

and terrible translations into english, though im sure thats been said
