Even 9, like, I don't particularly agree with the people who think it's amazing, but I can at least understand why they do.

The_Popo 03/26/25 4:38:30 PM #4:	I used to be in the camp that 6 & 7 were really close, and 6 might be better. In going back and replaying them recently, I think 7 holds up a lot more, block graphics notwithstanding. Both are great, though.

I remember when ~~the floating continent first went up~~, thinking that those were some of the greatest graphics Id ever seen. Same with when ~~Kefka moved the statues and the earth realigned~~. Any moment in the game where I could control multiple parties felt like a revelation as well. With FF7 so many moment were mind blowing.

Yeah, it's tough to compare 6 and 7 directly because they're from different eras (despite only being 3 years apart, lol). Both were revolutionary in their own ways. Comparing 7 to 8 and 9 is a lot fairer game; I love 8 and 9 and they both hit some great highs, but it was really hard for them to top the spectacle that 7 was when it was new; every new Bahamut animation was like "cool, but eh, I've seen it all before.

starcrunch061 03/26/25 8:39:07 PM #19:	4 is better than 6? LOL. But anyway, getting back to the thread, 7 had some really cool stuff. I bought it upon release (still have my pre-order t-shirt), and played it almost nonstop for three days until I beat it. It was really cool stuff, and made me excited for the future of games (and I was 22 when it released). Getting back to 6, the most amazing thing about it is that it was put on old technology. Its improvements over 4 (which is what it followed in the states) and 5 are incredible. Graphics, music, scale and size - the game Improved immensely over all of these, and did so while using the same old Super Nintendo. --- Freedom fries, the Gulf of America - USA A-OK!!! <cite>starcrunch061 posted [p:984489762] in Just beat ...
