I have access to my brother's FFVII, VIII, and IX, but I have no desire to play any of them. From what I've read FFVI is the pinnacle of the series, and FFVII is just FFVI's emo brother. |

It's really just popularity backlash (and those sequels) that give the game its bad reputation in my opinion. And IX is great, really. can't comment on VIII, but from what I hear it's basically boring story + broken gameplay. The series did indeed peak at VI, but the rest of the series has had plenty of shining moments. |

While I enjoyed FFVII back in the day, it is harder to replay than FFVI is. FFVI has an enormous cast of characters, and while that may be a nightmare for character development, its a dream come true for replay value. Also, FFVI's graphics are pretty timeless - FFVII's, on the other hand; let's just say you'll have to pretend you're playing "LEGO Final Fantasy". Also, FFVI had a female lead protagonist, something they haven't done again since... well, FFXIII it looks like. Might not make a difference for most, but its a bit of originality after you get tired of teenaged spiky-headed hot-blooded male adventurers. FFXI was decent, but I couldn't get past the third disc - which was a combination of me growing tired of it, and the disc actually wouldn't allow me to get past a certain point without freezing. FFVIII... ugh. I hated that game back in the day, and I hated it when I tried to replay it many years later. The battle system is a joke, the characters are colorless, the first six or so hours are utterly boring, and the plot has more holes in it than 50 Cent. If you like the idea of stealing enemies abilities, play Breath of Fire III. Not only does it require a bit of skill and timing in that game, but you get to keep the skills you steal! What a concept! |

Apart from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest on SNES and Final Fantasy Adventure on GB, FFVII was the first Final Fantasy to be released in Europe. I got FF III (VI) back in the day but I didn't have a modded SNES then and you couldn't save using an import adapter so I couldn't get into it the way I wanted. I don't have a DS or a GBA so to this day I'm waiting to finally play FF III. But I couldn't care less about the new Final Fantasies. I bought and played FF VII and I hated it. It ruined the whole series for me and apart from FF IX (which looks appealing to me due to the character design) I won't touch any upcoming Final Fantasy with a ten foot pole. The character design is boring as hell and it's always the same story. Just not my cup of tea. I'm way more interested in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years than I could ever be for FF XIII. |
