did YOU cry when Aeris died in FF VII?
Narr:
I think my biggest beef with FF7 is that it wasn't FF6, which was a lot better in every way, to me. It had a better story, the combat flowed nicer, the characters were more likable, and the graphics are still awesome. WHAT SPRITES CAN'T BE AWESOME you say? Well, tell you what. Go back and play FF6 and then go play FF7. Which of them makes your eyes bleed? The thing about sprites a lot of people don't realize right away is that they age rather well, whereas a lot of 3d graphics do not. For me, it was a very disappointing sequel. It's hard for me to swallow my pride and say I could see how someone that had never played a Final Fantasy game prior would get hooked, but I can at least give people that if it was their first J-RPG.

Honestly, what's more unfathomable to me are those people that worship the first Wild Arms game. While FF7 was flawed, it wasn't like any other RPG at the time, so I can understand why it become such a juggernaut. While Wild Arms always a 2nd tier series, it has some dedicated fanpersons.
The way of the JRPG, I guess.
Dimmukane:
I haven't played any of the Wild Arms ones much, but I do think the first Wild Arms was worthy of dedicated fanpersons. The other 3 (or was it 4?), not so much.

So true. Also, 3D throws camera issues into the mix (augh 90s platformers aughflfbglarghadsfrjghalghaghahghahagagagllgrbebllblblebela).
I wish more games would be made with sprite graphics. REALLY HIGH DETAIL ones, mind you, but sprite graphics nonetheless.

Whether they were ever any good or not is beside the point; we all just know that the mere mention of their name can summon the most slavish of fanboys out of the deepest recesses of the earth, and once exposed to light they will just not shut the fuck up.

Except that you left out one crucial part so aptly demonstrated by this thread. They aren't fanboys, they're antifanboys.
