FF7's intro was everything up to leaving Midgar. It was good, but not better than 6's.

Too bad that intro set standards so high that the rest of the game didn't match.

Well you were definitely past the intro by that point.
I consider the intro to be everything up until Terra and Locke are out of Narshe.

That being said, the three branches segment is widely considered to be the worst part of the game

I love it, it makes you feel like the world is a big place and all these characters are a part of it.
A lot of memorable moments happen during those section too.

Maybe they did, who knows what abuse she suffered while under mind control

Who, the guards or the moogles when she feel through the ground?

The latter I could understand considering how she's been depicted in every other game since then.
>>
>>338145890

The only bad path in the three branches segment is Locke's.

Sabin and Terra's are A+ to me, personally
>>
>>338146257
It just oozes adventure.

>>338146257
That will always just be the overworld theme to me. This is Terra's theme.

I know I'm wrong, but I don't care
>>
>>338146451
I liked Locke's and the feel that you were sneaking around an empire occupied town.

Terra/Banon's route was just...sorta there.

A meteor crashing and the MC riding his chocobo to see what's up.
A train with terrorists on board arriving to a station for a reactor they intend to blow up.

One of the most overrated games of all time. It was only noteworthy for its place in relation to other console RPGs at the time, but within the next two years several other series and its own sequel surpassed it.

FF is at its best when it tells storytelling to fuck itself and doubles down on gameplay and/or style...because they strangely write better stories when they don't try.

>>338147147
I don't know if this even counts. The intro itself is only okay, but it's pretty much entirely carried by having the best opening theme ever inserted into a video game.

On the bright side, that means you don't need to play Chrono Cross because the opening is also the best part.
>>
>>338147306
>and doubles down on gameplay
That's actually why I love X-2. I pretend there's no story and just go around levelling dresspheres I usually don't use searching for better strategies, grinding the dungeon or just capturing fiends.

Dunno what you're talking about man. After the first bout with Ultros I gotta say I fucking loved the branching story lines there.

Like others said, it gave the world a larger scope, gave a sense of how the Empire's affecting others, and introduced a lot of new characters. Some of best moments are there too, especially Kefka during Sabin's branch. Shit, Sabin's alone was great just cuz you get Shadow, Cyan, and the Phantom Train.
