Here's a theory, a Game Theory: FFVI is more popular because it has strong bad-ass female protagonists while VII stars a crazy beta and two insecure females (one of which dress fetishistically).

At least I've noticed FFVI fans tend to be Hillary/Bernie-voters: i.e., anime XD gamr gurls, nu-male hipster contrarians, bronies, epic youtube users, SJWs, etc.

FF6 fans are the manlets of the FF fanbase. They can't talk about their game without inevitably comparing it to 7 and listing all the reasons they like it better. They are so insecure about their game always being ranked number 2 that you can't have a discussion about 7 OR 6 without them making it a competition.

I feel the two games would have been better if they swapped positions in the timeline; Cloud and co. as the 16-bit dieselpunk SNES capstone, and the sometimes humorous and motley cast of VI feeling more at home with primitive chibi models and a more fleshed out score.

There are a lot of silly things about FF6 fans' behaviour, but this is the worst. They spend far more time talking about 7 than they do about 6. And it doesn't help matters that most of their criticism of 7 are either factually incorrect, or could apply to 6 as well.

I think FF6 vs FF7 is one of those really lop-sided rivalries that only one of the two parties really cares about. It's like the rivalry between the English and the Scots, or between the US and Canada. The little guy takes it very seriously and the bad guy treats it as either a joke or a minor annoyance.

>> No.3774075

>>3773879
While I do think 6 is a little better than 7, and I love both games, I can almost guarantee that a good chunk of the people voting in these polls haven't played either of them.

It's like the original TMNT comic. If everyone who claims to have read it back in the day actually had, it would have been the comic book equivalent of the Beatles.

Many people these days bash games without playing them and put games on a pedestal that they know only by reputation. So, in a way FF7 is both unfairly overrated and unfairly maligned.

This is a side effect of video games becoming mainstream. You've seen it in movies and books for some time. How many people say that Citizen Cane is the greatest film of all time without ever seeing it? And how may speak of how scary Lovecraft is without ever turning a page?

Why form your own opinions when youtube can do it for you? Whether we love or hate Sonic the Hedgehog games is no longer a matter of quality or personal taste, but whether I we prefer to watch YouTuber A or TouTuber B. I like JonTron, but I don't have to synchronize my opinions with his.

I think sometimes the "contrarian opinon" becomes popular by virtue of being different, but by becoming popular it evolves into the new "mainstream opinion."

Granted, I've not played enough of either game to make an informed judgment, but for all the hooplah around 7 that I've seen in my life, I find it hard to believe that it would (supposedly) regularly lose in a poll against pretty much any other JRPG.

>in public polls

That is because all of the negative perception FFVII has due to so many people liking it. So the hardcore internet crowds have never stopped holding a grudge against the game. FFVII has this perception that it was "babies first" Final Fantasy game. It also has this perception of being "overrated" because many people consider it their favorite game of all time or they rate it as one of the best games ever made. The perception among these hardcore elitist that vote in these opinion polls is that FFVII fanbase mostly consists of massive casuals that under normal circumstances wouldn't really like the series. Because of the huge marketing done for FFVII casuals bought into the hype and now glorify the game.

To put it in as simple way as possible, FFVII is the John Cena of video games. So many people will completely disregard the impact the game has had now and simply hate it because of its popularity and success. These same types of people also are likely to say things like Majora's Mask was better than Ocarina of Time.

Now with all of that said. I prefer FFVI and FFVI is my favorite game of all time. Unlike so many however, I'm not going to whine and cry like a little bitch just because FFVII is by far way more popular. I hate this attitude with people that just because something is popular they feel this need to drag a thing or person down simply for the sake of popularity. Sometimes these people are being honest but it is also true that many simply make excuses to appear as if their bias is actually justified criticism. When in actuality something with their mentality just drives them to want to hate on popularity.

>> No.3774891

I personally like FFVI better. I also like FFVII, but let's be honest here, FFVII has a pretty bad story. It's not like FFVI is some shining example of great storytelling either, but VII is bad in the way that REALLY bad anime are. Also most of the characters are vastly inferior to a handfull of useless ones and basically everyone is a blank slate that doesn't matter until they are high in level where every becomes basically the same. FFVI does have some of the same problems, but not quite as much so as VII did, and it doesn't bother me quite as much.

Yeah, it's basically a matter of "Am I fitting in with the hardcore crowd? AM I???". It's perfectly normal from a psychological or social perspective. And I agree that I did the same many years ago. That being said, even if I didn't play games like AoL, FFVI or other "underrated" games back in the day, I still gotta admit that they're good for what they are. Same with stuff like OoT and FFVII, even if I actually did play them back then. Can't say they're objectively the best (same with other games I'm nostalgic about) but they're not as bad as some people make or made them out to be.

Not really. FFI and III were pretty clearly balanced around one style of party and you had to make up for what you were lacking with something else. FFIII's customization is kind of bunk, anyways, because it leads to some combination of sages and ninjas in the end with nothing you did before that point mattering and in the interim, a bunch of upgrade classes building off of the few classes that weren't shit. Then there's stuff like Garuda, where there's only one realistic way of dealing with it.

Yeah, I agree with you, and I wouldn't mind if it was a joke here and there either, but the script is just a mess of different things now.

In your picture the only important bit that they add from the Japanese compared to the Woolsey translation is the part about Gestahl wanting to have Celes and Kefka produce offspring/be the forebears for his magical empire, but they word it the most awkward way possible, making it sound like she's supposed to be Kefka's fucktoy. Meanwhile, Leo doesn't get mentioned at all, and Celes' final line is also plain wrong.

I think even the old translation made Gestahl's magical eugenics program obvious enough anyway. I'm sure someone could argue that I'm being too prudish though. I compared the text on your picture to the script I found here:

one of the things that irked me about ff7 is how boring it gets once you get out of midgar. initially they clearly planned the city to be the main location of the game, thats why you get the wireframe animation of the city structure in the beginning. after you leave midgar it loses a lot of its initial drive.

it would probably be way cooler if most/all of ff7 happened in midgar, like a cyberpunk thing maybe

FFV is by far the most patrician choice
1 started it all, but most games after it offer the same experience and more
2 is interesting but unrefined, you'd be better off playing either 5 or SaGa
3 is bland and unbalanced. Customization is pretty much a lie since everyone and their grandmothers will end up with the same party
4 was the first one to have interesting characters, and holds the bar as the second best 2d FF, but it was nowhere near as refined as 5, and you need to play the ds remake if you want good storytelling
5 had an interesting and(although not entirely) balanced class system, where even unoptimal choices were viable, without taking away from difficulty
6 had gorgeous pixelart, good dungeon design, and great characters, but the soundtrack wasn't as immersive, the esper system was too unlimited, rage hunting is a pain, many characters were outright useless outside of very specific builds(and even then subpar)
7 was good, but the materia system suffers from the same problems the esper system in 6 does, and most characters are as bland as 8's characters
8 was pretty but had level scaling issues. While being easy offered faster storytelling, it didn't work like chrono trigger because of cd loadtimes and obscene encounter rate.
9 was as balanced as a doujin fighter
10 onwards was "hold ^ and press X ocasionally"

No it's pulling up horrible fan theories that have been debunked numerous times as evidence for why it has the deepest plot in the series.

Drawing Magic > FF6 AP Farming

I'd rather sit there for 10 minutes drawing to 100 off an enemy, then spend two hours running around and killing a hundred enemies to get Drain on one character from Ifrit. Plus, the Magic I draw on 8 goes toward raising stats and can be refined into other, better magics. In 6, most spells are garbage and you're just acquiring them for completion.

Nice bait. Clearly you've never played FFVII. Cloud isn't emo in the least in FF7. He's understandably fucked up and enters a very justified existential crisis during the game but he gets over with and becomes his own person. He's definitely one of the best examples of character development in a Final Fantasy game and one of the better protagonists. The "emo" persona he has was never his to begin with. Anyone who says that Cloud is emo only played the game when they were kids and have had their perception of his character muddied by shit like Kingdom Hearts and Advent Children. Advent Children completely tacks on feelings of regret and sadness to Cloud for no reason.

I really wish this meme would die already. Even if you want to equate emo with "faggy" then the most emo game is Crisis Core.

Not him but good 2D spritework just lives on. Look at stuff like Valkyrie Profile and Suikoden II and compare it to FFVII and their 3D counterparts at the time.

To be honest Terra is the most emo character between Final Fantasy VI and VII. Her character is constantly angsty and depressed and she has no moments of levity. Compare that to Cloud, who often jokes with the team.

No, really, look at the two characters and their spoken lines within the games. If you do this then you will see that what I said cannot be denied.

This is the stupidest fucking counter-argument.

No one is saying that you're not allowed to dislike something. The point is WHY you dislike it. 99.99999% of people who dislike Final Fantasy VII only dislike it because it's popular and not for anything on its own merits.

I honestly don't understand how you can have such a horrible misunderstanding of what I'm saying.

People are obviously fucking allowed to dislike FF7, but if you ever actually have a conversation with someone who does, their reason boils down to hating its fan-base and thinking that it's overrated.


Honestly, if anything, in 2017, Final Fantasy VII is the definition of an underrated game. The pendulum of opinion on this game has swung so far in the opposite direction that the internet gaming community generally doesn't give it nearly enough credit.

In some ways, yeah. The characters were a lot more fleshed out and Termina itself felt more "alive", but the scale of OoT and the "epicness" of the story has its own appeal that MM doesn't quite have.

Both are phenomenal games.
