NatewlieWhy should trolling be exclusive to the debate forum?Well, because trolls are just looking to get aggravated responses which often turn into debates.
olliebotIt's funny because I just got my grunny little paws on a copy of 7. 8 and 9 are like 60 bucks at the store that sells them. D: but it's not great but it's still pretty good. I mean, sure it's your opinion that it's terrible, but you don't need to bash it. And do a terrible job at it. I mean yoou say you aren't comparing 7 and 8 but really you are. You keep going back and saying "8 is better than 7 in this factor also". But also, like I said, it's all subjective, you don't have to enrage those fanboys that will go "OMG FF7 IS AMAZING" in the gaming lounge thread. If you are looking to troll, do it in the debate forums.You are right, i probably did contradict myself a bit, but I'm not trolling and I don't want to start an argument. The responses I got in this thread were pretty much what I wanted to see. You could summarise my entire post in one sentence. FF7 fanboys are extremely aggravating, I like FF8 above all other RPG games and i did not much care for FF7.I might have sounded a bit stupid because it was around 3 A.M when i wrote this and i had only a few hours ago yelled at a small child who is one of those fanboys who hasn't played FF7 and says its really awesome. (whats a TC?)
fdgsathis is seriously one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Junctioning ruined it for me, it just gets to the point where you drag out boss battles to draw rare magic from them endlessly, which is just too boring.and don't honestly try to say there's skill in it.. you just get your magic, go to auto and juntion, I can never be arsed going through EVERY stat to set my junction to optimum... I'd must rather let the computer do it... although sometimes it gets it wrong and doesn't optimise it which pisses me off.you also mention you prefer the graphics of FF8... I can understand this with the FMVs, but the actual graphics of the game? FF7 may be alot blockier, but it has MUCH smoother edges, one of the things I take the piss out of FF8 for is the amazingly pixelated graphics that almost make my eyes bleed.Now don't take me wrong here, I don't dislike FF8. I <3 all FF games (up to FF10, yeah that's right, I like FF10... it was original and had the most gameplay of a final fantasy up to the point it was released, the sphere grid is better than materia and junctioning anyway). But FF7 and FF8 always pissed me off because of the character building system, in the end, all your characters are EXACTLY the same, they either all have the same, best materia (on FF7) or have the best magic juntioned to their stats (on FF8) making all the characters identical apart from limit breaks. Which majorly ruined the games for me. FF10 is also responsible for this once you finish a characters initial sphere grid and they start to move into the other sphere grids. Make characters individual square! so I don't just have the characters with the best limit breaks in my team!My favourite is FF9 because it keeps the modern 3D aspect of the final fantasy games but keeps in touch with the oldschol aspects, such as jobs. Jobs make a final fantasy game what it is IMO, it makes you choose which sort of character would be good at different parts of the game. For example, you can only power level early on in the game with blue magic, but ONLY quinna has blue magic so you up using it for that purpose. It makes the game more in depth with different combinations of teams mixing different jobs.If they made the characters more individual (from a battling perspective) than I think the games would of appealed to me alot more. The reason I still <3 them is because, like with all final fantasy games, the story is almost perfect... I can't beleive you actually don't like FF7, I mean, how can you not like Cloud and Sephiroth?Overall, although I rate 7, 8 and 10 the lowest out of final fantasies I would still rate them extemely high as games in general. I don't dislike them at all, just don't like them as much as other final fantasies....you better mean it died after the 9th chapter there... I don't care if you don't like FF10I didn't say i preferred FF8s graphics, all i said was when i was a kid i was deterred from FF7 by its graphics. After a while junctioning stuff does get kind of stupid, it's just a matter of finding the right magic and putting it in the right spot. I still enjoyed collecting all the magic. FF8 was pretty terrible, and I don't know why but its just my favourite. I had fun with it then, and I have fun with it now. Its just my favourite
