FF7 arguments :: Lets find the middleground! ::

[AasumDude]

For it's time, FF7 was a great game, a graphic masterpeice, a storyline marvel, and an incredible game. This time is over, and yet after several years of browsing this forum (on several accounts), I still realise that there are about 2 FF7 threads a fricken PAGE! I know it was good, but seriously, the fights over it must stop. This game's time has come and gone, but you people keep fighting over it. So I comprised the pros/cons list of the game and see how they stack up.

Pros:

Good Plot/Storyline
Good Graphics
Good characters
Good boss fights (ruby was easy though, should have made it harder)
The concept was good
For 1997 it was a good game. The year is 2005.

Cons:

-It's old. HELLA OLD.
-It's lost its graphic 'top-of-the-line' thing goin on. It's like 8 years later.
-Some glitches.
-Impossible to beat weapons without guide (KOTR? Gold chocobo? Good luck without a guide, dude)
-Easy to get rich, and buy everything (sell master all, you're instantly 1.4 MILLION richer)
-W-item glitch. (falls under previous category, but the great gahuna here gives you 99 of every battle item, given you are willing to do the time)
-repetative music
-WAY too easy. (The final boss only did 2000 damage to my 9999 hp 999 mp Lvl 99 chars with level 4 limits and final weapons *gasp for breath* (no cheating, it took me hours.)


Here you have it, nerds! The pros and the cons. The cons are larger (surprise). Try FFT, its really good. Its like a turn based strategy with FF1 chars, its hilarious ^_^

Play FF7 once, and let it die in peace. It's okay the first time around, but play it for a second time and it's worthless, like many other rpgs.
