Well that's why it's 76 and not a lot higher like many would like it to be.Quote:

Some people didn't have the mental acumen to read good books; for them there was FF7. Sure the themes and concepts it lifted were buried under a mountain of f-chan bullshit, but if you'd never read a book before the story would still probably be compelling.
FF6 is still a much better game the 7 though. I can still go back and enjoy 6 for what it is. 7 I actually tried to play again recently and after a couple of hours I couldn't take it anymore, it was just plain horrible.Quote:

The main reason FF7 is beloved is because it's the first RPG a lot of people played. Everyone remembers their first RPG fondly. I know people that love Final Fantasy Mystic Quest because it was their first RPG.
If you look at the sales for Chrono Trigger and FF4, no one played those. They didn't sell 1/20th of what FF7 did. FF7 is loved because it seemed new to people since it was previously a nerdy hardcore genre.
So basically just enough criteria so that no one can ever figure out how they actually came up with the list.Quote:

I liked the music in FF4, 6, Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger. Quite a bit actually. In fact, most of the games I remeber from my childhood days are linked to thier music.
Dude, seriously, it practically plays itself. It's made for Japan's idea of the infantile American mind and it's just plain retarded.Quote:
