I'm kinda on and off the net...so fill me in here.

I know FFVII was highly popular and started many trends, namely introducing many new fans to the series. So how exactly did this whole trend of disliking the game begin?

Honestly, I highly enjoyed the game, regardless of how anyone else feels. The game wasn't perfect (nothing is) , but I enjoyed the flow of the game.

It isn't dislike for the game with most people, everyone just can't stand the fanboys and their evil ways.

The Master is right,

But some people will still bag out FFVII and its siblings just to be cunts and piss people off.

�t is better than X at least.

i think cause its been like ten years since the game came out and there's not much else left to talk about

Reason has been mentioned.

I don't really dislike the game. It's not a great game, but not a bad game either.

What I absolutely hate, is the hordes of fanboys who think Sephiroth is the best game villain ever, Could is the best hero of any game. They pretty much worship FFVII and outside of this game, no RPGs excist.

It's mainly their narrowmindedness that I totally hate.

I have always liked this game, even when people insist on hating it for no apparent reason. No one can get around the fact that this game was ground-breaking, and that it brought Final Fantasy to a whole another level of popularity and fame.

But, I agree with the posters above. Fanboys piss off a lot of people, and perhaps there just isn't anything left to talk about...

I think everyone's got the nail on the head. People get irritating because of he fanboys. Specifically, a lot of people who go ZOMG FFVII is the best FF game ever. It isn't. IX is, and X, X-2 and VI are other good contenders for that title. Or worse, those that think it's the absolute best game ever.

Well. Simplest way to put it. I love the game... unless Square Enix decides to connected it to FFX via FFX-2 or FFX-3... FFX-2 hurt FFX enough... FFVII can't take that kind of abuse. lol.

FFX-2 is an awesome game, and anyone that bashes it has not given a fair shot.

Kneg I lol'd. I love the game but that basically summed the whole game up right there.

HAHA! AWESOME COMPILATION FTW!!!

Kneg wins yet another thread!

Now to actually be on-topic. When it comes right down to it, it's the fankids that drive the backlash. I mean, how are the rest of us to react to "FFVII is the best game ever!!" posts when it wasn't even the best game that came out that year?
