re: Final Fantasy 7.

FF7 is fantastic. It made a huge impact, being such a huge leap graphically. The story was epic, the music remains fantastic. I love that game, easily my favorite.

I really think that 6 is much better than 7 in every regard except visuals and perhaps a sense of "epic".

And 7 is great. But 6 is a GOAT candidate.

Agree.

And I just love the cast of 6... 7 is....kind of blah. Cloud was an OK protagonist. Vincent was awesome. Barret was ok, Tifa was ok. Red...eh cool story.

But in 6? Everyone had such a clean and well thought out story arc. Cyan's family, Shadow's past. Setzer's lost woman. Celes....one of the most interesting characters they've ever written. Edgar and Sabin. Even Gau had some great moments.

I think 7 had a clever story that was fast paced and intriguing. I think 6 had the better characters, although it's a push between Sephiroth and Kefka for better villain. 7's strength was in the relationship between Cloud and Sephiroth, whereas 6 found strength in a large cast of characters, all of them fully realized and unique.
