No the character models were ugly for its time the cinematics and backrounds were fairly beautiful for the time. Characters being underdeveloped is your opinion a lot of people don't think and as far as I remember no one can ever and I mean ever accuse Tifa of being underdeveloped. Just enough said on that. FFS Sephiroth and Kefka are two completely different style villains then he became shit in the 2nd half of FFVI.Chibz said:Because... almost nothing about FF7 is particularly well done. From visuals (ugly for its time) to characters (under developed and forgettable) to the basic cluster fuck that is the attempt at narrative at it.Bobby_D said:
Going to put this in for the sake of it, but Sephiroth is a failure-villain. Especially compared to THIS guy.
As guy in video said. "Crazy mother fucker. Destroys the world, half way through the game."
OT: Congratulations you all have a fucking opinion on a 14 year old game. I just want to state something and I don't mean this in a bad way but opinions are like butts you all have one. I know this is a gaming forum where we are supposed to express our opinions about our medium but for god sake people you have all taken the FF7 thing way to far over the years. Maybe this is me just exploding a little after having this slowly built rage over more or less the same comments about one game in one series that every likes to state is worse than their preferred game.
Ok we get it you do NOT like FF7 but you know what there are plenty of people who do. At least the people who do like FF7 do not make threads about it and constantly drone on about it anymore. They have learned to somewhat keep it to themselves. Now I am sorry to say that fuck all lives up to its hype. If I was to play Minecraft on hype and recommendations from friends alone I would hate it as it does not live up to the hype around it. This is simple video game knowledge we all should know.
Also for god sake the story is not bad it is simple. Now since the game is 14 years old and I haven't done a play through of it in about 5 years you are going to have to forgive me on this but as I remember the story doesn't have major plotholes. The plotholes only came with the extended and retconned universe that has raped the once
Now no one can really say that the game was full of JRPG stereotypes as they were not stereotypes at the time. In even while most of those involve the cast being teens the majority of the cast is in their 20s with a couple much older and 1 younger cast member(this is however, a stereotype). You don't like the characters that is fine but I am personally a bit sick of people going on about how THEY did not connect with the characters and that Cloud is a whiney Emo. He is not. Vincent is more emo than Cloud and even then he is more introverted and broody. Although Cloud was a hell of a lot more emo in Advent Children but we are talking about the game here not the extended universe.
Graphics ok yes the characters were exposed polygons. Not everyone hated that nor is obsessed with graphics. I like to think of it as Lego Fantasy 7. Even when you think about it the bad lego like graphics do give it an almost sprite like timelessness to the graphics as they were fairly unique to FF 7 as I can't think of a game that had similar characters. Although these make more sense if you look up the games development history. Now that aside the enviroments around the characters were quite well done for the time and the cinematics and battles also had fairly amazing graphics for the time. While they are not best graphics even at the time they are a lot better than a lot of people claim them to be.
Sorry just to go back a bit the only true stereotype in FF7 was Barret and even then he wasn't that bad he could have been worse.
... still not wise!
