You know what? After all these years, I finally reached an epiphany that Final Fantasy 7 truly is the greatest game of all time. There are literally no flaws to anything. Is the best of all time in some areas? No, but there is absolutely NOTHING in the game where someone could easily dock points off. Even the lego blocks have their charm. Especially the way the characters were animated with them.

>Amazing storyline
>Fun hugely customizable materia system
>Tons of minigames
>Long 30+ hour game
>Tons of secrets
>Storyline that just keeps developing the more you play and when you play it again
>Masterful music
>Memorable characters
>Huge lore and good difficulty

Seriously, if someone would tell me pull out a 10/10 game, I would easily make FF7 as my choice.

>There are literally no flaws to anything
lol
there's no variety in weapons like in FFI-VI, they are just upgrades bought on shops, and sometimes you can get them earlier by drop chance or stealing
the Materia system isn't as customizable as the job system
3 fucking party members in-battle instead of 4
no designated healer after Aeriz dies
it set most of these flaws as standards for the franchise and when FFIX tried to bring them back the generation who was introduced to the franchise by FFVII didn't like it so it kept getting worse
and to the present day it brought people that like airships being replaced by cars because if you try to say to them that it doesn't fit they bring the "B-BUT FF ALREADY HAD MACHINES AND CARS AND SHITZ IN OTHER GAMES SO IT MAKES THAT OK FOR THEM TO PUT CARS IN THE GAME!!1!"

My biggest gripe with FFVII is probably that there are too many half-baked mini games thrown in there. I could do without the submarine game and the RTS defense game in particular.

Still a great game though.

Actually it would... The weight of the blade would help force it through flesh more efficiently than a normal blade.

Before you blabber on about something else nonsensical, look up the guillotine. It is a blade designed to be huge thus helping to sever necks in a single blow rather than the multiple attempts it would normally take an ax. It made executions a lot more feasible than they used to be.

How many normal people are jumping up to do something about issues like global warming that will supposedly end our world? In the beginning, Avalanche is nothing but a group of conspiracy theorist nut jobs to Cloud. Dismissing their motivations is something a normal person would do until you have concrete proof that something is happening to the planet.

Squall is just a strong introvert. News flash, so is half of the human population. That doesn't make him an autist. Of course, /v/ has been misusing autist for many years now so what should I really expect.

Yes, he is. His mind being "fucked over" and seeing his friend die has nothing to do with the edginess and stupidity of saying "I don't care" when you face the direct threat of the world you live on dying. It's like if someone pointed a gun at his head and he said "Zzzzzz....don't care, just give me my money...."

Xenogears > FFVII, even in spite of its relative lack of gameplay variety and non-game second disc. FFVII is a fine game, but Final Fantasy lost its way after that and now it's a walking corpse.

>>
>>332728924
Global warming isn't the same thing as what goes on in FF7. It's a different issue in nearly every aspect. By Cloud saying "I don't care about the planet" he's acknowledging that there was an issue to care about to begin with. If he doesn't care about the planet dying, then why doesn't he just off himself there and then? He's already chosen suicide anyway. Or could it be that he was just acting out like an edge lord?

You're not wrong, you know. I replayed it last month on PS3 and it holds up probably better than most games I've ever played.

The story really is brilliant, not everyone's cup of tea but it's potent, unapologetic and deep on many levels. The materia system is huge and you can break it like in Bravely Default but the abilities are distributed better meaning you can only really break it near the end of the game anyway. The minigames all have a shitton of polish to them and are mechanically sound. It's brilliant.

The only questionable things I've found upon replay is that some non-optional stuff is programmed weirdly, for example Fort Condor is very exploitable and the rewards for it are bugged to hell and back. The dolphin jumping game and Shinra march are very confusing and unclear due to just no explanation and very weird positioning. There's also a little TOO much missable stuff - I know it'd take an absolute moron to miss Ifrit when it throws this giant red materia in front of you but the fact that there's literally no way to get it again after the boat is something Final Fantasy very rarely does. The characters' mechanical growth is also fucked with it being exceedingly difficult to ensure even one reaches their maximum natural HP, which is bullshit. There's other stuff, like Vagyrisk claws, but really those only bother extremists. You could easily argue those things are intentional aspects of a higher difficulty.

All in all, FFVII isn't quite as overhyped as people think it is.

Given more advanced metals to work with and whatnot, you can make the blade a bit lighter, but that shouldn't be necessary. Cloud was supposed to be stronger than an average guy, and an average guy can lift Cloud's sword. Also, again, the momentum from the overhead slash for a blade of that weight would cut through stuff. Efficient cutting methods matter more for a blade that doesn't weigh enough.

DING DING DING we have a winner! His whole edgelord lonewolf badass mercenary persona was just something he made up for the mental gymnastics he made to fool everyone (including himself) into believing he's a hardened SOLDIER first class veteran. You should know this if you've played the game.

That does not confirm that the planet is about to fucking die...

Humans are blissfully ignorant to the problems that occur around them. This is human nature, and very few people choose painful truth over blissful ignorance.

It's a good game, maybe even the pinnacle of the franchise, but there are other games from other franchises which have done what FF7 tried to do and far better, and even before FF7 came along. A good example would be Chrono Trigger, another Squaresoft game.

>>332729534
Yes this is fantasy. That means that Cloud is now feasibly capable of wielding an even heavier blade that will be capable of smashing through a shield. Even more so since Cloud is swinging it around faster than the speed of gravity.

Acknowledging that this is fantasy just makes your arguments that much more invalid.

>>
>>332729639
>Chrono Trigger
It didn't do anything better. It was just a basic RPG from gameplay perspective, and the story was even more lacking than VII. The only reason people think that it is rated better is because this is /v/, and /v/ is full of non-self aware hipsters. There is a reason VII is getting a remake and Chrono Trigger isn't.

That's my point though anon. The buster sword is actually feasible based on real life physics, so it is beyond feasible once you add in the fantasy aspects.

It's feasible if you it as a chop weapon which is restarted for a sword. And if we are applying real life physics to this someone can just use a shield to block it than Clould will fall down.
>>
>>332730209
It certainly had better gameplay than VII which was very barebones even by FF standards, and the time travel gimmick was fun to explore and mess around with in order to unlock the different endings. And sure the story wasn't as chock full of long-winded melodramatic cutscenes but it was still fairly interesting and could even be touching here and there. Not to mention the graphics were among the best on the SNES and certainly much more visually appealing than FFVII's blocky lego people.

Look, I like FFVII and consider it to be far better than many games even from the same series, but it isn't anywhere near the pinnacle of the genre like the fanboys claim it is. I supposed neither is CT, but it's certainly near the mark.

>>332730525
Based on real life, a shield is used to deflect light blows, and is not intended to deflect a blow of that magnitude. If you want to use real physics, use real physics. Quit trying to bend everything to magically fit your argument.
>>
>>332730545
>but it isn't anywhere near the pinnacle of the genre like the fanboys claim it is
See, this point I can agree with.

>I supposed neither is CT, but it's certainly near the mark
This is the problem though. CT is the exact definition of what people complain about with IX. IX is viewed as a throwback to everything that came before it, but it supposedly does nothing to stand out. CT is this x2. Also, my problem with CT's story is my problem with TLoU's story. It doesn't really do anything with the characters other than having them exist as who they are at day one.
>>
>>332731549
Depends on the type of shield a shield from the high Middle Ages which is metal with the knight wearing plate might deflect the blow. But why do you keep defending this restarted design cloud would like way better if he used a hand and half sword.
>>
>>332731950
>cloud would like way better if he used a hand and half sword
Then he would have definitely been forgotten rather than being iconic.
>>
>>332731868
The problem with IX's gameplay is that not only does it do absolutely nothing new, it's even more torturous to play because of how slow the battles are. CT's battles are quick and speedy by comparison, and at least it brought dual techniques to the table. It's not much, but it's at least something new that has never been done before (not to my knowledge, anyway).

>Also, my problem with CT's story is my problem with TLoU's story. It doesn't really do anything with the characters other than having them exist as who they are at day one.

Linear development isn't always good characterization though. VIII's characters underwent development but their personalities were still so unlikable and hilariously exaggerated they were hard to relate to.

So the only reason the FF fan base likes himis because of the buster that's just saying he's a shit character.
>>
>>332729312
That's a predominantly aluminium alloy sword and it weighs 75-80 pounds according to the video, and it still weighed enough that a strong person couldn't use it properly. You can see the guy they get in to test it out they have to basically hold it up for him and then just drop it because he can't swing it properly, it's so heavy. If they had made it accurate in terms of metal, it quite possibly could have weighed closer to 150 pounds or more. By comparison, most real swords weigh about 5 pounds, and virtually never more than 10. It's understandable for Cloud to wield it because he's genetically modified, but no human would be able to use it successfully.

You know what? After all these years, I finally reached an epiphany that Link's Awakening truly is the greatest game of all time. There are literally no flaws to anything. Is the best of all time in some areas? No, but there is absolutely NOTHING in the game where someone could easily dock points off. Even the lego blocks have their charm. Especially the way the characters were animated with them.

>Amazing storyline

>Tons of minigames

I wonder if they'll get the first episode out by 2017. Real reason why they announced it so early in the first place is A) because that's what SE does and B) because they REALLY want the Japanese audience to buy their PS4s.

The materia system is outstanding. The problem are with players who get it into their heads that one type is best.

>lol who even uses the materia? just get the stat buff ones and attack spam the whole game. ez
>the only materia you even need is Enemy Skill, it does everything better than all other materias
>KotR trivializes the game, why would anyone use anything besides OP summons?

And so on. But the materia-combos are so much fun. Remember when you figured out Final Attack + Phoenix? Or Added Effect + Hades on your weapon? And who here didn't max out the exact same materia that Sephiroth used in the flashback and equipped Cloud with the lesser Murasame to make him Sephiroth 2.0 at one time or another?

>>332723313
The sword would be impractical if the protagonist wasn't a genetically modified super soldier. Everyone who's used it in that series has been a SOLDIER. Why use a foot of steel when you're strong enough to Super Mutant Behemoth a giant lamp post with concrete on it as a weapon?

I'm 33 y-o, so when FF7 released I was 15. I bought a PSX because of this game (owned FF1, FF2 and FF3)

This game was... oh my God it was...simply magical at the time. We had never seen anything like this before.

Of course if you're a piece of shit born in the 90s, you can't relate to this game because "hur dur the characters models have 20 polygons". The cutscenes were awesome, superb pre-rendered backgrounds, plenty of gameplay (snowboarding, anyone?), perfect music, top-tier story...like OP said this is indeed a 10/10, easily.

I pity you younger guys because you'll never experience ground-breaking games that blow standards out of the water like we used to have in the 80s and 90s

Have fun with Final Fantasy 15 and the whole emo boyband Bentley-driving bullshit

>>332738385
100% honest, I stopped playing Final Fantasy games at FF8. I tried the demo that came with a magazine and thought the sword/gun was too cringy. Also, the main character was kinda gay-lookin.
Wasn't the Dreamcast out by then anyway?
>>
>>332738549
Yeah it came out around the same time. Also you weren't missing out on much.
>>
>>332738484
>>332738523
For the record, I think FF7 is the best FF by far and usually end up replaying it at least once a year.

I'd say it's the best RPG, but I've got a real soft spot for BG2 and Diablo 1.
>>
>>332738682
Well I think it's the best of the series but there are other series that have better RPGs like say Deus Ex or Chrono Trigger.
>>
>>332723012
FF7's battle theme is one of the worse ones in the series.

I don't like FF7 at all, but I will concede that it's a very good JRPG.
>>
>>332738839
I'm glad that we are in agreement then. Chrono Trigger was a pretty amazing game but I didn't play it until Emulators became a thing mostly because it didn't involve the master sword or captain falcon, which were my primary distractions at the time of the SNES.

Deus Ex always seemed a bit up it's own ass for my liking. Hyper-stylised games like that tend to put me off unless it's obviously purely for enjoyment.

I can't really say I enjoy Cyberpunk Dystopia, though i'd say it barely qualifies as cyberpunk. A few augmentations does not a Neuromancer make.
>>
>>332738907
However it's boss theme is also one of the best.

There's also the JENOVA theme to add to that, which is epic.

>>332738907
I feel it's one of the better ones actually, but that might be because it reminds me so much of Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo A La Turk.

I never played it when I was younger, and I got it on psn the other week, got bored in about a hour and a half, its nostalgia, yes yes call this bait, but lets face it, unless you've played this as a child, it isn't that good

take for example, retreating from the actual fact of giving evidence on why it's a good game and going straight to "uh.. go to bed lol??" he knows it's purely nostalgia etc but nobody wants to admit it

it is a fun cute game though, but not -perfect- far from it

Don't talk shit about Barret, he's easily the best characterized and most human person in the game.

7, 8, 9, 10 and it takes a while to warm up to 12 are all easily the best final fantasies. The others before them were too basic albeit still great games. 7 is special though, there's something extra-ordinarily spiritual about it. To those born in the late 80's and early 90's...the reunion is Coming. This game was made especially for us.

>>332745539
and if you read my post youd see that i say ffvii is one of my favorite games as well you inept shiteating mongrel. i love it but accept its flawed.
