Final Fantasy VII was fantastic in the year it came out. Now, it's understandable why there is such a controversy over it in 2006: people are now expecting better graphics and bigger, more complex storylines. In 1996, Final Fantasy VII had these so the american population went crazy over it. Sure, there was no need to hype it up, but most did anyway. Just like people are doing now for video games like Kingdom Hearts (II) or Warcraft or ven Xenosaga(I, II, or III).
In another ten years, these games are going to be looked at the same way Final Fantasy VII is now being looked at: overhyped.
Final Fantasy VII has a deep and moving storyline. However, most people prefer other games in the series, because they may think that, for example, Final fantasy VI had better graphic or more complex characters (or even both).
Whether or not you enjoyed the game depends on your own personal taste.
For me, I thought that Final Fantasy VII had a great storyline, terrible graphics(the cut scenes could've been better, but then again I didn't play it in 1996 and am now used to game characters that can talk and 45-min long cutscenes: blame Xenosaga), and one of the most messed up main characters around. I mean, seriously, Cloud was screwed up for more than a disk. Well, anyway, I would much prefer Final Fantasy X's graphics anyday. Other then that, kudos to Sony for bringing about one of the best rpgs in 1996.

Final Fantasy VII was fantastic in 1996. In 2006, however, I'm looking towards Final Fantasy XII, because frankly, it'll have the graphics and storyline expected for this decade...I hope. In 2016, we might have hologram videogames...I can't wait.

Get the Final Fantasy VII mug.Where a group of hardcore gamers (DA BROOD BABY), stay up for as long as they physically can playing Final Fantasy Xl. The consumption of large amounts of caffiene is a common practice at these Fiestas. Tea being the most common form. Why they are named Fiestas is beyond me but the people who created them are such damn P.I.M.P.s that i don't question it. The members have to keep eachother awake by means of drawing on their faces, slapping them, or inserting jolly ranchers into their anuses (Ok and that is just great fun right there). They are also known as FF Fiestas and are extremely uber and you should definatley try it.
Gamer: Dude, lets have an Final Fantasy Fiesta this weekend.
Gamer 2: Hells yea negro, I wanna lvl 7 times... (In Denmark)

Get the Final Fantasy Fiesta mug.This is another name for Final Fantasy 8... so given due the 8's broken-ass Junction system, broken-ass limit break system, and lackluster cast. The entire game can be beaten by leaving your group with low health and spamming limit breaks over and over and over until you defeat the last form of the final boss... that's it! That's the only strategy you will ever need to play it! The characters don't even get any equipment in this one, just different weapons... everything is handled, rather omnipotently, by the Junction system, so you don't even have to think.
Never mind the fact that the game is first set at a school, who the fuck thought that would be a good idea? Sort of defeats the purpose of cutting class to play it, I might add.
It's only redeeming quality was that if you decided to see it through to the end, men in white coats would come, sent by the government, to take you some place special. Anyone who defends FF8 on a message board needs to be immediately reminded that the worst sniper in the whole world becomes your strongest party member apart from the hero, and then bitchslapped across the face with the strategy guide they got suckered into buying.

Me: Hey dude, you like the FF series, you tried Final Fantasy Crap?
Dude: Which one are you referring to? Because if you say six I will beat the shit out of you.
Me: Haha... Fucking eight, of course... it was worse than playing Legend of Dragoon twice!

Get the Final Fantasy Crap mug.Mentally-handicapped and extraordinarily queer peebags who think that Final Fantasy VIII is godly. Their whole entire existence is spent as a fucking oxymoron, and they spend a large fraction of their sad life blogging about how OMG!amazing this worthless RPG is. Unfortunately, these colorless fruits ARE the equivalent of yaoi fangirls. That means disgusting fan art, fanfiction, and shit that does not appeal to anybody but them.
They can also be referred to as Romance-Cakes, or SquallPeeInYourFacePhunTimes.

Get the Final Fantasy 8 Fanboy mug.Video game that doesn't focus on gameplay, but storyline.
A storyline that consists of a lot of devices that don't change the plot.
And plot irrelevant characters, Yuffie and Vincent.

Get the Final Fantasy 7 mug.A game considered the best by mainstream RPG gamers due to it's "maturity" by mentioning things such as death, religion, and love.
In truth though, it is not that great. It it just another game that was overhyped by American otaku in an attempt to seem more japanese.

Get the final fantasy vii mug.While it was certainly an influential game, the transition from 2D to 3D did nothing in terms of gameplay for the Final Fantasy series in VII. Final Fantasy VII literally rehashed the gameplay from Final Fantasy VI and added the extremely novel and worthless materia system to try and make the gameplay look less cut and pasted, yet anyone that had played Final Fantasy VI beforehand could see what a shameless copy VII was. Many other game series that had moved from 2D to 3D had retained the classic 2D gameplay feel while actually getting significant gameplay changes from moving into 3D which made them feel fresh (e.g Zelda and Ocarina of Time). Since Final Fantasy VII changed nothing gameplay-wise when moving into 3D, the gameplay ultimately felt stale to those who had played previous Final Fantasies.
The presentational values VII introduced were excellent but the complete lack of any real gameplay evolution was largely disappointing for fans of the series who had played previous installments. Unfortunately VII is overrated for the fact many people had never played a JRPG before in their life (as they were mostly popular in Japan until that point). Many people were unaware of how its gameplay had no significant changes in the transition from 2D to 3D and how the games only redeeming factor was the presentation.
A disappointing game all in all.
