![]() Can anyone think of anything truly wrong with this game? FFVII and X routinely score higher than they deserve on lists for FF games because of the high number of younger fans they attracted who hold them in higher esteem and nostalgia, but while neither is by any means a bad game, the real aficionados will always place FFVI higher. With the exception of this one, fans of the series are quick to point out the flaws that each of the other FF games have. Ranked #1 on nearly every critics list out there, and by far the purest FF experience of any of the games in the series this one walked the perfect balance of futuristic and medieval settings. One could argue that a few good stories exist since then, however the underlying truth is that VII, despite graphics to modern interpreters, is without a doubt the greatest Final Fantasy game, and one of the greatest games, in general, even now. The story is a beautiful creation, filled with plot elements that have far surpassed the stories of any other Final Fantasy's yet. Whether it be the death of Aerith, to the realization that Sephiroth was much deeper than a final boss fight, hundreds of users spent countless hours dissecting every inch of the game in hope of finding a secret side quest one that would resolve the tensions surrounding these harsh realities within the plot.Īfter playing, extensively, most other Final Fantasy's, only one seemed irreproachable-VII. It's the only game in the series people love to hate, and hate to love. While Final Fantasy VI may have been the first game in the franchise to emotionally invest the time of its users, Final Fantasy VII perfected it. Midgar itself was amazing, and rumors of an expanded look at the city in the upcoming remake have me very excited.Įveryone has an opinion on which is the best FF, sometimes which one they. The story was the best, the villain the best (VI and IX lose points there for me in that Kefka and Kuja seemed more like clowns to a degree, so it wasn't as believable to me for them to be the main villains), and even though nowadays the graphics are a bit dated, at the time the fights and world looked tremendous while you explored. Having started playing the series all the way back to the original on my NES, 7 is still the one that stays with me the most. ![]() I have to give a nod to VI as well because that time of RPG's was the pinnacle in my opinion, and together they sort of occupy this time and place where Square was king of the world as they transitioned from 16 bit games to greater hardware where you could tell a story in a different way. This was the first Final Fantasy game that I have played myself, but from what I have seen from other Final Fantasy games, this one gets the golden cigar. I can't believe that I didn't play this game sooner in my life. This game has an emotional and compelling story, a plethora of good characters who make the experience more enriching, philosophical value, excellent plot twists, a plethora of amazing summons (my favorite so far being Bahamut ZERO), a vast world to explore, fun missions, an easy to hate villain, and an easy to hate organization of villians who think that they are doing good.
