What do you not like about it?

It makes a lot of good game design choices.

I didn't really like FF7 when it came out... I was a huge fan of FF4 and FF6 (well, 2 and 3 as they were called then) and I felt that all the kids were jumping like crazy over FF7 just because it was in 3d and they liked the graphics

That actually was and still is a pretty big advantage over 4 and 6. The graphics don't look good anymore but the 3D rendering opened up many possibilities in character/enemy design and directing that couldn't have happened in the previous game? Remember how you could only see a third of final Kefka at a time?

I was 12 when I played FF7 for the first time. Even then the graphics where pretty bad, but that was the case with all the games. But the story was really engaging and got me started on learning english. Before that stories came from books or comics and video games, to me, were just slapstick fun, without much of a story.
But yeah, nostalgia is a sweet thing.

Ehhh, it depends on how you look at the graphics. The environments were all beautiful 2d pictures. Sure, the characters were blocky, but I don't mind that when it comes to characters in RPGs. I like to leave a large part of the character's personality to my imagination, like I'm reading a book or a comic book. That's why I absolutely love how PS1 RPGs play. They are simply the best.

TC: When FF7 came out, people literally talked about that game at school for years. Seriously, years. It was the most popular game to talk about. People would draw pictures of Sephiroth and Cloud. People would bring the strategy guide to school, etc.


I literally did this. And so did some friends, this is legit as fuck.

I've personally never cared about graphics in a game, when you take into account the year/technology/etc of course its gonna look like shit compared to, say, Final Fantasy 15.

But 7 was legit.

Say what you want about FF7's overratedness, but FF8 is definitely not as good.

6 was great, 7 was great, 8 was a convoluted crapfest after the first disc

Yes 8 disc one is definitely the best part....
But, 7 gets pretty convoluted after disc 1 as well.

after the second disk
aside from being the disk that revealed the incredibly stupid orphanage twist, disk 2 of ff8 is actually pretty solid with only that plus the norg reveal being super stupid


its not until disk 3 where everything finally goes completely wrong

disk 3 gets even worse, yes, but even just the orphanage and norg shit make disk 2 terrible imo




disk 2 has so many great moments that make up for it

- the missle base mission
- saving balamb garden
- balamb garden vs galbadia garden


its not like disk 1 was free of stupid bullshit either
like quistis leaving her post to sorry as well as selphie and zell following her for no real reason when it made more sense for them to wait

IMO ff8 is a good game during disk 1 and disk 2 and a bad game for disk 4 and disk 4

that wasn't kefka, that was just a pillar of generic apocalypic looking things. Kefka is only the final enemy
