Your opinion, however again, opinion doesn't remove the fact that it remained in the majority of people's eyes as one of the most well known scenes from any video game before or since then. Can you deny that? Or are you going to band on your opinion again?
For real, since when was it my opinion that VII's Death Scene with Aeris made as huge of an impact as it did?
Again, you riding on "My Opinion", now I don't mind if you didn't like the "storyline" as much, however when comparing to most rpg's before hand. It really delved deep into character individuality and really fleshed them out to be more human then what was seen in most rpg's. This was a big change from the FF series, VI started it, but VII went infinitely deeper. Sad, how you talk about gameplay, when VII's gameplay was spectacular to watch, read, and play through.
So "how" in the world does your opinion refute that VII was more successful then any rpg before it's time?
Which is why you haven't given me one single valid reason to VII being overrated. Also, the fact that if you dislike turnbased rpg's so much...you are basically saying that anything that's not CT/SoM/SMRPG is not good in your eyes...so basically anything turnbased with that standard is bad.
However, you make absolutely No Sense, because Chrono Trigger is *gasped* Turn Based.
This is the absolute reason why I said Chrono Trigger's storyline is very straight forward. VII was not built storyline wise to be a straight forward storyline. Chrono was a straight forward character, he did not have multiple dimensions like what you saw in VII.
There is a difference between the two, in one storyline, you have a person playing a pure Hero. In the other storyline, you have one who's weak, yet in the end, overcomes it enough to win.
This is what eludes me, firstly, you clearly stated that CT had all these "great" sidequest. Yet, you seemingly "Forgot" about VII's own Sidequest which where incredibly fun to do. So stop the hypocrisy already.
It's not Quantity>quality...however if you have Quantity+Quality>>>>Quality like in VII...I'd rather take Quantity+Quality over just Quality anyday of the week. Btw, each VII quest rewards you well and great (Mime Materia, Knights of the Round Table Materia, Apocalypse Weapon, Ultima Weapon, Death Penalty, Omni-Slash etc, etc), and usually after they are done, you no longer have to do them again.
So where does the quality die? My point exactly.
I brought up CC, because it was used to cover up "plotholes" within CT. Yes, your precious CT even has plot holes. Being the hypocrite that you are though, you wouldn't understand that, that's the reason why Schala finally came into light.
Sad really, when you have refuted NOTHING from my statements about Chrono Trigger and lolz...I know more about CT then you do, a game that you are trying to compare to VII
.Remember, your beloved game had plotholes...just like Final Fantasy VII's.
The fact is this, you compared VII to CT, and the fact remains simple. CT did not make the impact VII did, period.
I regarded VII as the best Final Fantasy Game of All Time. Where in my post did I ever say it was "the best" of all of time? I regard VII as not being overrated, because of the impact it made on a global scale.
My statement has nothing to do with what your bringing it too...an opinion lvl. Your idiocy blinds you yet again, because here you are going "VII didn't appeal to me, blah, blah this." "It didn't wow me gameplay wise" (That boggles me, considering nothing like a summong of Bahamut, an Omnislash or the such was ever that spectacular to look at, but in your eyes, the gameplay fighting was horrible and was boring).
Dude, I'm not talking about VII's appeal to you, I'm not talking about VII's appeal to me either.
What I've been trying to talk to you about is what VII did on a Global Scale. Quite frankly, NO RPG'S BEFORE HAND made this kind of impact. Your opinion, or my opinion, or someone's grandmother's opinion, it doesn't matter.
Now, are you to deny what VII has done/achieved for the company of Square? Or what it did for the Rpg Genre? This is the reason why I feel you have brain damage, so I honestly want to say this to you.
Which other RPG made as big of an impact or achieved in the same success magnitude as Final Fantasy VII did before it's time?
Oh yeah...that's right...you can't name one...and THAT'S MY POINT exactly. This isn't even opinion, it was shown back in 1997, VII was not overrated, it's achievements where one of the most successful within the gaming world ever.
Not just "influential", it changed the face of a company, it change the way rpg's where viewed, it paved the way for rpg's to dominate for the years to come. Without VII's success, we most likely wouldn't have all the rpg's we have today
You sicken me, because you keep bringing up opinion, this, opinion, that, when history speaks differently.
So you can really stop the fanboy riding comments, because all it does is making you look more like a bandwagoner of the I hate VII. Considering you hate turn based rpg's...yet CT at it's core is a turnebased rpg, and funny thing is, and I must repeat myself again, I know more about CT storyline/ingame wise then you do.
To end it to you Skler, VII is not overrated.
To EL, I'll reply to you next time, as I'm posting this at work, lolz.
