lol... althought i liked the game...well the story and characters, i didnt really think it was all it was racked up to be.

oh and koby is right bout sales dont mean jack... just look at some games that were relesed recently, like black ops, which are exact copies of past succeses and has sold more copies than the better game!

If you call speaking the truth abusive, then I really feel for you man. Seriously. Telling me to grow up? You are the one who apparently needs to, you can't even handle the truth and you insist on incorrect info.

look u saying butthurt automaticly made me think you was being abusive, cant handle the truth what because you say its not and that makes you right!

everything ive said abot the game ie sales and how much it is still is not a lie!

if 7 isnt as big as YOU think it is why would that make advent children, why would they make that little teaser of the beginning of 7 in hd, why would they make crisis core, why would they make a anime of it :last order! your the one that dont know what he's talking about, alright sales alone dont mean everything but there a pettition on the net to get 7 remade its got like 40.000 odd sigs onit! whould you see that for any of the others, no!

Well for one thing you are now putting words in my mouth. I never said it wasn't 'big'. That is exactly where the 'overrated & over-hyped' come into play.

As for saying 'cant handle the truth what because you say its not and that makes you right!', well now, tell me how was I wrong in the fact that Sells do not necessarily mean anything about the quality of the game? Meaning sales does not = great game. Most of the best games in history actually failed to sell due to lack of advertising.

Do you agree Final Fantasy 13 was bad? Well it sold more than Final Fantasy 7 even dreamed of within the first week of release.

All I ever said is that it isn't deserving of it's title. I acknowledged it is the most popular, but that doesn't mean it is the best game ever either. It just means it's more liked. As for selling for more? It's simply because it's over-hyped, people know it'll sale regardless so they list it for more than it's worth. As for people signing petitions, sure, but people also signed petitions wanting remakes of pretty much ALL the past series, lol.

As for all the movies, etc.. added that is simply Square Enix milking the money out of the fans. They know as well as anyone the hype of the game and know it's a money maker. Square Enix however cannot figure out either why it is so overrated. They keep trying to make something new and better and while they have with 8, 9, and 10 they failed to get the attention they deserved.

yes because it was the first to be released on the ps3 and ill admit it was a great disapointment.

no your right people opinions do and your opinion is not the mojority.

my point is proven!! ha

yea but nowere near as many, just face it your wrong!

As for all the movies, etc.. added that is simply Square Enix milking the money out of the fans! yea because they know there is so many people ww that love sevens story, so many, so so many!

your making my argument alot easier koby

They keep trying to make something new and better! NO There trying to get the same result as they did with 7!!

I actually enjoyed it.

However, do I think it's worth the same praise and attention most of the gaming community gives it? Not really.

It was a good game. But I didn't think it was the best FF, my personal favorites being 9 and 13.

It's all down to one's own interests. So more people liked 7 than the rest, that's okay. Now if they say it's their favorite and it's the only they've played, then I might raise my eyebrows. But I don't give people crap for liking certain games.

so i've been looking at stuff (well final fantasy) and was wondering why 7 has such high praise than most, plus has had all kinds of stuff added on (dvds etc..) i will admit im not in the know of everything FF, but to me its not ahhhhh, which is wierd as i have it on PSN but not 8 which i love ?__?.

anyway feel free to tell me what YOU think about FF7.

(oh yeah my thread was taken down but was under someone elses name first, at least i think it was taken down. was it because i didnt post on FF forum on here either way it was taken, thanks if ya know im a noob at this forum thing)

Yea FF7 had i guess the bestest characters beside FF9 :D(cuz thats my fav). I mean they have sooo many badass characters. Zack, Genesis, the Turks, Sephiroth, Vincent, Tifa and many more.... alot i want to see in Dissidia but that wouldnt be right.. xD. To the main point i believe FF7 is kinda overrated but i could care less what game is best. All i know is FF9 in my opinion have the best story, FF10 the greatest lvl system ever, FF7 i like how you can lvl the material. I played 1,2,4,12,13 and i don't see anything in them i like as much.

It's a good game - but yes, it's way overrated. I've played 7 games from the main series that are way better than VII and then I haven't played all of the games from it.

Final Fantasy VII is without a doubt the game with most fanboys and it will never change.

One thing I find fascinating is when 15yo fanboys says that it's the best game ever and they remember the good old days when the game came out and they played it - Thinking it's the best game ever based upon your experience as a 2yo... also being able to beat it at that age is impressive.
