belive final fantasy VII, before i hated RPG's i thought they were slow games with no action and boring. after it, (and made me cry) i realized rpg's are one of the best genres ever.

im ashamed to say this but i never played chrono trigger

Tell me. What's innovative about FF7?

And no, it was not the first 3D RPG. Try again.

Re: FF7 or Crono Trigger? Which was more ground breaking?

like i said from the start, people have different definitions of "groundbreaking."

im actually curious, what was the first 3d rpg?

Re: FF7 or Crono Trigger? Which was more ground breaking?

well the heck i don't know why i loved it so much, but it is one of the best i ever played, i loved the use of the materia, the limit breaks (wich i belive were new in the series) the story is the best point of it, and also all the extra stuff, maybe it wasn't very groundbreaking but still is one of the best games ever

You're 6 years too late.

Drakkhen was notable for being among the first role-playing games to feature a three-dimensional playing field.

Re: FF7 or Crono Trigger? Which was more ground breaking?

lol drakkhen.

ok, well, i was thinking about console games. and even if im wrong about that, drakkhen always seemed like sprites mixed with like... myst or something.

i have to dissagree with you xD that is just 3D with some sprites, then final fantasy 7 is the real first full 3D rpg

First of all, that is true 3D.

Second of all, Final Fantasy 7 still isn't the first full 3D RPG.

Third of all, it's a moot point. With all the innovation Chrono Trigger brought to the table, one thing that may or may not be true about FF7 isn't enough to counter it. Chrono Trigger is easily more innovative.

Re: FF7 or Crono Trigger? Which was more ground breaking?

ok now that i know about chrono trigger im lost, maybe final fantasy VII is not the best because of the innovation but of his story or some aspects of the gameplay, i better read the reviews to find out

I meant the madden games thier releasing now, and I don't really think a sports game can be...eh groundbreaking. Its a game based on a game. Its not like they can include some revolutionary new feature football has never seen before :P

FF7 isn't the best of anything, except maybe the best of a pathetic franchise that sells based on name alone. Or maybe the best in most overhyped game of all time. Who knows.

Re: FF7 or Crono Trigger? Which was more ground breaking?

I'd say Chrono because of all the innovation, especially the monsters on field-touch them to battle part, well mostly since that carried into ToS, my favorite RPG to date. I've played FF7 and was just bored, it was sub par to me, always died from random encounters every time I picked it up too. =/ So I go with Chrono.

Re: FF7 or Crono Trigger? Which was more ground breaking?

Chrono is probably one of my all time favorite games next to secret of mana (which is just fun) and FFIII (which had a great story) and I like all of them for different reasons.

Having never actually played FF7 (I watched someone play the whole thing though) I can only really just agree with Squeek.

P.S. Drakkhen sucked...or maybe I just sucked, I kept on dying in a lake.
