ff7's appeal was never the graphics for me. Its strength is better exemplified by the scene where you find the Turks vacationing in Wutai. It was simply a compelling adventure to experience with a customizable combat system.
yeah, but that was pretty much par for the course with Final Fantasy at that point.
Don't get me wrong, if you liked VII, I wont hold it against you, but yeah... the hype about the graphics was strong when it came out...
Yeah, and I identified that hype as misplaced back then same as I do now.
The masses are easily impressed by shiny baubles and incapable of recognizing anything of substance without an authority figure telling them.
hope I didn't come off as antagonistic, i didn't hate ff7, I just wasn't particularly impressed by it, either.
...I really gotta go back and play ffiv the after years one of these days, though... the og was hard, but it was fun, and the story was epic...
Nah, we good.
FFIV was the quintessential Final Fantasy in my book. It set a standard for what the franchise was and everything else was measured against it.
That said, the game you really gotta go back and replay is Chrono Trigger. Still the absolute apex of what the Super Nintendo had to offer.
