@PsyChe1723 A Kefka fanboy belittles Sephiroth. Waht a twist!

They're both awesome. Deal with it and quit making a fool of yourself.

@Testsubject909 Haha, yes...I agree. It's really a shame that a movie like that can make so much money. And those female teens are definitely to blame. Which goes to show you, if you have the right tools to market with even complete shit can become a success. But my point is that this always isn't the case. I've already stated some things are popular for the right and wrong reasons. FFVII clearly did it right because after its release I'd say 90% loved the game that bought it

[CJTranceAddiction]

@Testsubject909 That is actually very well said and you definitely proved your point with that one. And yeah, I totally agree. But that's also a bit different of an opinion than to simply "liking" something or not. At the time, it was quite crazy to think the world was round by the majority. Just unbelievable. But the bottom line is, yes...popularity should should not determine greatness. Yeah, FFVII actually had a HUGE marketing campaign. True, with that usually comes huge sales

[CJTranceAddiction]

@Testsubject909 Yes, FFVI was definitely a dark game, for sure but definitely lacked that isolated atmosphere of loneliness which also came through in Uematsu's incredible score. Right at the beginning...Anxious Hearts just sucks you into that lonely, gritty Midgar and its slums. It's haunting in a way...for me, the first 20 min of FFVII greatly sets up the game better than FFVI did. I was simply absorbed into the world and nothing else existed.

[CJTranceAddiction]

@Testsubject909 True...Chrono Trigger I think did fairly well upon release, though. FFVII had appeal though...the characters were iconic and that really can't be said for the cast of FFVI. I think the characters are really what made the FFVII game combined with the uniquely dark world. Later on, FF characters were all too similar in appearance...

[CJTranceAddiction]

@Testsubject909 Actually, to tell you the truth....FFVII is just as beautiful today as it was when I first played it back in 97. The only thing dragging it down is the lego characters. In fact, if this game was just remade to the likes of the Resident Evil remake on gamecube I would be perfectly happy. The backgrounds were beautifully hand painted and live up to todays standards (they still look almost photo real.) The cutscenes are dated too....and the sound quality.

[CJTranceAddiction]

@Testsubject909 Yes, by those who have played the entire series...sure. And for good reason but I still feel this is a minority compared to the praise FFVII and FFX receive from the fans. One can only judge by the amount of views the games receive over youtube. But then again, FFXIII sold more copies than VI and well...that game looks so bad that I didn't even feel the urge to want to play it. I felt I would get nothing out of it based on what I have seen. So yeah, debatable...

[CJTranceAddiction]

@Testsubject909 Keepin in mind...YOUR opinion, that is. I can name moments in FFVII that simply blow away FFVI's. In fact, FFVI's greatest moment is arguably the opera scene. And in particular, the Mezzo Aria piece which would have been made even more epic if it had the proper sound quality. To me, the Death of Aerith is not only the greatest moment (and what I mean by this is the most memorable) in FF history but one of the greatest and most tragic in all of gaming period.

[Testsubject909]

@CJTranceAddiction And I'd like to touch back on your popularity argument.

If you haven't noticed, FF6 is often heralded by many gamers who experienced the entirety of the Final Fantasy games as one of the best if not the best, it is one of the most often argued greatest FF to exist alongside FF7 and this remains one hotly debated subject as well in conjunction to the whole Kefka vs Sephiroth argument. Despite a huge inflow of gamers when FF7 came out, FF6 is still defended for a reason.

[Testsubject909]

@CJTranceAddiction To follow up on that last note. There are many gamers like myself who began far earlier then FF6. My first FF experience was right besides Dragon Warrior which at the time was the more popular series in Japan. The gaping differences between FF1, 2 and 3 (1, 4 and 6) was tremendous and had a deep impact, the same can be said of the differences between 6 and 7. But in the end FF6 had a far stronger impact in term of it's structure, story, moments and whatnot.
