Two things really.

VII was the first of it's kind that most people played and secondly It was fantastic for it's time but of course you're not going to be blown away by it now having seen all this other shit. It doesn't hold up. But at the time it was fucking mindblowing.
>>

imagine it's 1999
there are no cheats
there is no difficulty slider
all you have is your trusty ps1 memory card
and fucking final fantasy 7
exploring that deep world, digging those sick beats, discovering your past and becoming an ultimate badass in a quirky land of giant rideable chickens
disc 1 is over? fuck me that was epic! holy shit, there's 3 more discs? Well fuck my ass with a buster sword
non linear story and enjoyable game mechanics ftw, plus the graphics were pretty groundbreaking for the time, especially compared with ff6
>>
>>321767536

FF IX is my second favorite but I haven't see anyone explain why it should be the best apart from "muh class system" and "muh retro medieval context"

It is the same as VI's fedora fanbase with its Kefka edgelord fetish, which are as annoying as Compilation babbys.

FFVII doesn't try to be deep or edgy, neither plot wise, nor gameplay wise, but it has by far the most interesting premise, ambientation and designs of the 3D FF era, it was FF at its peak and you can see how ambitious it was when you play it, far more than any other FF

It is a great game that grants you tons of fun if you don't play it with stupid bias like yourself and if it is true that many people overrate it, it doesn't deserve all the shit you underages spit.

I don't think that's true. I didn't play it until the mid-2000's and I still loved it. Played X and I-VI before it too.

The game has aged extremely poorly in terms of graphics, so if you aren't of the age group to have grown up with the PS1 in your life at some point, I don't really blame you for not liking the way it looks. That being said, the writing, despite the translation, is good enough and the characters are interesting enough that for most people they can get past the graphics and learn to enjoy the game.

I liked the characters, the antagonist and the beauty of the game both in visuals and music. I think it has all the good things of 2D and 3D FF's but also both era's flaws.

>>321769715

In the end of the game? A bizarre alien-human creature that can only think in eating all the planet's energy to feed itself.

When he was human? Actually a pretty cool guy, only his design was edgy, Jenova turned him crazy and he died but when alive he was a good guy and many people considered him a hero.

Now if you take Crisis Core as canon the thing changes, the thing is that it is not.
>>
>>321769927
>MY MOM IS MUH ALIENNN I' LL KILL YOU ALL WAH WAHHH
>MUH SINGLE DARK WING
Kefka is only an edgelord during the final battle.
Sephiroth is one during the whole game
>>
>>321770096

You are simplyfing both characters here, seriously.

Sephiroth does not do that shit because he is evil, it is because when he fuses with Jenova he becomes something like her, that feeds from planet's energy, he is just eating, his Jenova cells were the ones that triggered this.

The dark wing shit is a compilation-only feature that Sephiroth does not show at all on FF7 until the final fight with Safer Sephiroth, which is an illusion, his real form is Bizarro Sephiroth.

And as I told you, before Nibelheim Sephiroth was a good guy and you can see that in the way he talks to people. There was nothing edgy about him except the clothes.

Kefka is a mortal with queer and cheesy manners that likes to dress like a clown but has a lot of magical power, everyone hates him because he is a prick so he becomes a God, and when he becomes aware of his power and knowledge he thinks of mankind as something stupid and meaningless, he is edgy, yes, but I think power changed him and that is good for a villain.

It seems that you either played too much compilation or never played FF6 or 7 at all, or at least, you didn't pay attention.

>IX should have this title it's superior in every single way

What is it about FF9 that makes it deserve this title?

Is it the painfully the slow battles?
Is it the unnecessarily long animations in an already long game?
Is it the undeveloped characters?
Is it the story which goes off the rails in the worst way by the third disc?
Is it the terrible skill system that encourages grinding with terrible, outdated equips and lacks the flexibility of the four games before it?
Is it how the skill and class system (the lack thereof, in this case) managed to be even worse than the very vanilla FF4?
Is it the fanbase who swears it's good but can barely give reasons besides "well it's not EMO like FF7 and 8?"
>>
>>321770840
There's other things like the HORRIBLE steal success chance even though the main character is a thief.

Or the fact that the game is clearly unfinished and the final boss is a shitty asspull.

Yes :^)

Even if we count it as canon, the "FF7 is so edgy XD" meme comes from the compilation so you shouldn't judge the original game because of the spin-offs, it is unfair.

I'd say that more than anything it's the world building.
The characters are likable and the setting is insanely fascinating.
And then there's the little things.
Mini games, cut content, item locations, side-quests. There's so many little details that enhance the game, I feel it gives it a shine that a lot of games don't have.
You can tell a team of desperate ambitious nips had no life for a couple years making this.
And you can tell the development process is day and night of what it is today. There's a lot more easter eggs and variation in the details. In fact a lot of the styling is all over the place. It goes from steampunk to Cthulhu mythos.
But that's fine, it stimulates a young mind.
You probably can't experience it the way us kids did back then, but you can still enjoy it casually. Besides the combat system has aged well and the story, if slightly fragmented is still captivating.
>>
>>321771937
I, along with a lot of other people I'd assume, appreciated the uniqueness of the enemies. Do you want every enemy in the game to be the same and/or have a bland and uninspired design?

No, it really doesn't. The only FF I found to be tryhard FF7-esque was VIII and it was still playable, the rest are their own thing and I like them for different reasons. FF is not the best FF in anything but it is almost the best in everything, so, unlike other FF games that usually are one trick ponies, 7 offers all in one package, even if it isn't the best one story, gameplay, graphically or musically-wise.

Funny fact: in most non-English speaking European countries (France, Spain, Italy and Germany in particular) the first FF game translated in their native language was VIII.

It could be said that FFVIII is the first FF most french/italian/spanish/german kids played and therefore in those countries it is literally regarded as the pinnacle of the series and so far no other FF has managed to surpass it, only because it was the first one they played.

Sounds familiar? That's right, FFVIII is to them what FFVII is to most of the English speaking western world.

"The best FF is the first one you played" rule might not be 100% accurate, but it certainly plays a huge role in FFVII's popularity.

It's still a pretty good game, there are some people who have never even touched an rpg, and they can get into FF7. That's in recent times.
Credence that it's a bad game, has to be false. There are plenty of goofy designs in the game, and the remake will have to figure out how to accompany them.
It's still good even now, low system requirements, and it doesn't break.

>meme enemies

Let's be honest /v/, OP is an embarrassing mongoloid and all, but this shit is your fault. This mentally handicapped kid is posting that crap only because you idiots have kept spamming and misusing the term "meme" in every possible fucking context during those years, and that gave him the wrong idea. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Italianfag here. Its kinda true. I remember people on italian gaming forums 10 years ago or so who were treated like hipsters if they said they liked 7 more than 8. Nowdays nobidy really cares anymore.

Any game with a place to buy items cannot be survival horror. Even the original dead space could have been a survival horror game, but the store ruined it.

>>321784846
Was talking more about popularity than sales. Also this chart fails to differentiate between native English speaking European countries and the others. FFVII was a pretty obscure game outside of GB and Ireland in Europe.
>>
The only FF I've played is X. I got to the final battle with sin and quit. That was years ago. I just got VII on steam because it was cheap and I plan on playing the remake. PS1 graphics are fine, I grew up playing every gen and going back doesn't retroactively make a game worse.

So how much will I enjoy VII? ShouId I go in completely blind?
>>
>>321787362

We liked it for nostalgia the first time we played it too? Are we not allowed to remember it fondly?

The truth is that you belong in a time when videogames are in the trash, this is a period of DLC, microtransactions, horrible online communities and the death of the medium as an art form.

You got the leftovers and the generation after you will say the same to you, that your favorite games are an outdated piece of shit, just that in your case, it will be true.
>>
>>321768256
This is kind of nitpicking, but isn't the "class system" in FFIX entirely cosmetic? The player has no input on which class each character develops as, so the distinctions between "classes" are really just distinctions between individual characters.

I guess what people mean when they say they liked the class system is that they liked how most abilities were exclusive to just a few characters which made them feel more different from one another, though.
>>
>>321787780

That was precisely my point, that there is no system or flexibility at all. It cast an illusion of having a class system, but it doesn't have one.
>>
>>321784736
LOL WEED

>>321787738

If you could play through 10, you can play through 7

I thought the same until I started it up and played it.

They just drop you right into the fight and you just go from there. Only complaint is it's literally a corridor simulator.
>>
>>321767671
Agreed
>>
>>321784846
Chart is misleading. FFVII didnt sell that much in countries like Italy and France UPON ITS RELEASE because of the language barrier. After playing 8 and the others and getting hooked to the series than most italians, germans and so on bought 7 and played it despite not being available in their native language.
>>

>>321787780

FF9 never had a class system and it never claimed it had one.
There is no illusion. Everybody is a specific class and thats it. No system.

Its just like FF4. Everything is railroaded.
4 and 9 are the odd outliers.
Its also why I cant stand either of them.
>>
>>321784736
High fantasy is trash.

>>321788307

7 is great. Play it blind, but be aware that because of translation and general storytelling issues, a lot of shit will be very confusing even after you've finished the game. Pay attention to the tutorial in the sector 7 slums, and be advised that equipping materia alters stats like max hp, magic damage and strength.
>>
>>321788520
At least ff9 had something resembling customization with the magic stones system. Ff4 had no customization whatsoever and 90% of your battle options were completely useless
>>
>>321787738
I would advise using a guide, because FFVII is a very long game and there's a fuckton of things you can miss, for which you'll have to painstakingly go back over and over again.
A guide makes for a more fun gameplay. I see literally no reason not to use one.
>>
>>321767536
Nigga you are a fucking adult. If you're going to say stupid shot like "meme enemies" and other dumb shot like I saw, you need to get off the fucking internet and go back to sucking on a pacifier

Yea, also this. Many things are one-time only, meaning if you fuck it up, then you can never get them. Really, use a guide if this is your first playthrough.
>>
>>321787356
What a stupid stipulation. Limited enemies spawning isn't going to let you grind in one area until you can buy endgame weapons or what have you. It can't even be done.
>>
>>321788307
Nigger, people already told you that VII was released in different languages before VIII.

Play it blind, as god intended.

Then play it again sometime next year and you'll begin to understand it.

You might not get the whole thing until the third or fourth playthrough, and by then it'll be one of your favorite games.
>>
>>321790135
VII was definitely not translated in Italian. Dont know about the other languages.

>>321768232
I remember playing a demo of final fantasy 7 before it came out.

Shit then, even more shit now.

>>321789593
Replay value m8. You're probably not going to fully understand the plot 100% the first time anyway, so you might as well keep the pace up for the first playthrough and save the completionist run for later.

>>
>>321789762
but it doesn't hurt if he doesn't 100% the game on his first run ffs
it's better to play without guide, like a virgin, and miss a few things
what's important is that you develop a connection to the game, and when you go back to play it again, you can check out the guide to find all the hidden stuff
I remember the first time I played FFVII, I was half-playing it with a friend who introduced me to it. Eventually I started playing alone and just talking to him about it. I got to nibelheim and I was CONVINCED there was something behind that door vincent is, I even think I was expecting a character (don't remember if the coffin is visible from outside).
I was a stupid noob ofc so I didn't get close to solving the riddle, but I would ram my head against that door, grind around it in case the mobs dropped a key and go around the mansion clicking things
>>
>>321791939
it looks like I mentioned my friend for no reason but I forgot to say that he was trying to convince me to just move on and I was stubbornly insisting "NO THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING BEHIND THIS DOOR"
>>
>>321789593

You can dig it up in bone village if you miss it.

That is what i did.

There are times when I would say that IX has a comfier atmosphere, or IV or VI might be at some points, but I'm gonna say that all-around, VII does have the most comfiness to it.
