How is 10 the same as 7?
I would go so far as to say that 10 is like a direct sequel to 7.
quote:Wakku wasn't fleshed out, he was a cookie cutter bro. Which is good, since he is the only character not completely borrowed from FF7
All of the FFX characters but the witch one were amazing and extremely fleshed out.
Lulu was . . . .boring.
Yuna was just Aeris/Tifa, with added lost looks every 5 minutes.
Rikku=Yuffie
Kimhari=Red XIII
And. . . clearly Tidus is just Cloud, with a better graphics engine.

FF7 was steampunk Sci-Fi
FFX was low fantasy...
Anyways, we might as well not argue about which story is better, because so much of that is opinion.

It makes all kind of sense for those who dont buy into conspiracys.

FF7 is the Nickelback of this thread.
It is cool to hate them, and people are trendy.
You could say that if people don't have reasons, but it isn't just hating on 7 for no reason.
7 changed the series for the worst. The series. It isn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, that's not what I mean at least.
But it did change the face, the presentation, and the goals of the series. Look at how strange games have been received since 7. 8 is the underrated underdog, but also largely despised. 9 was at least a small attempt to recapture the spirit of 3-6. 10 was 7 all over again when 9 didn't work. 11 was an MMORPG. 12 and 13 were not great and took the elements of 7 to another stratosphere. 14 was another largely unpopular MMORPG.
That's why 7 sucks. It's not a bad game, but they really lost their way with the series after it blew up the gaming world. I wouldn't harbor as much dislike for 7 if it was another game, another series by square. But since the magic of 6 and the few post-FF6 SNES efforts by square (SoE, Chrono, etc.), no one has come close to that kind of classic RPG experience (good attempts in later Dragon Warriors, and the occasional new games from other developers...Tales of Symphonia for one).
That's why 7 sucks. It isn't trendy, or hating to be cool. 7 changed JRPGs for the worse, at least for me.

13 pissed me off so bad. I don't recall a game I've ever played that has such terrible difficulty. I was cruising along nicely then BAM...hit a wall.
On top of that, the story was so cumbersome and slow. I just kept waiting and waiting for it to pick up and it never did.

I had the same issue with 12 when I got to some forest dragon that kept pushing my shite in. Had to go around killing those purple panther things for hours to level up (plus they left a lot of money, which was good).

and the sad thing is.. 11 and 14 feel more like 1-6 than almost any game that's come out since 6.. (other than 9)

Opinions are like assholes...
But this is bullshite. Tidus is a girl. Auron was the only cool character. The battle system was not that fun, and it was almost as linear as 13.
Again, opinions are like assholes
But wtf?
I can't agree with any of this except FF7 having something to do with cloned cells. Cloud wasn't a clone of Sephiroth who wasn't a clone of Jenova.

The story isnt about clones of clones of clones of clones of alien clones. Blitzball > Chocobo racing. Skill map > Materia. Graphics are a wash if relative to those of the time. And the combat system is light years better.

On another note, how is 14 going now? Still good in your opinion?

yeah it's still fun to play, with every update they make it a much deeper game, with much more awesome stuff to do. I'm really enjoying it and they are extremely good at listening to the player base, so that's always a HUGE plus too.

I put alot of time into 7. I got to Demon Guard, couldn't beat him, and quit.

so by put a lot of time into, you mean never got past disc one. 
No but really, Demon Gate was easily the hardest mandatory villain in that game on your fist playthrough. He has attacks that can wipe your party out in no time. .

I had a good +20 hrs in. I fricked around doing side missions. I had thought about trying to find someone to beat it for me. I like the game, but goddamn that thing.

I know it wasn't on the OP's list, but FF 2 (FF 4 on PS1) was one of my favs. It was pretty challenging as well.
My son and I both played the old original Nintendo Final Fantasy and loved Final Fantasy II on the Super NES. We mourned the loss of Square A Team on the Nintendo. My son as he got old lost interest in video games and we never got a Playstation.

Started playing FFVIII again and I have put 12 hours into the game and I have yet to start the second SeeD mission.
I just dont see the hate some have for the game.

I know I'm in the minority here but I thought 12 was awesome. I didn't realy care about the story, the characters weren't too bad, but the combat system was the most unique combat system in the series. I barely did anything during combat, it was more like an action game
13 was abysmal.
I still like 10 the best though. I put in over 130 hours. Damn Monster Arena.

Think ill be putting over 100 hours into 8 this go round.
The combat system was really nice in 12.
