Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

[Blight]

I?ll give you reason one Ryujin, I already said I played it after FF VIII. Reason two isn?t me at all. As for reason three I got the story, I just found it to be empty in a ?lets hate Sephiroth cause he killed Aerith? sort of way. I was uninterested the whole time. My counter for your second reason of the haters FF VII is that 90% of the people that like FF VII?s reason for liking it is nostalgia. Lots of people remember it as a revolution rather than a game. I think it leaches fans off it?s legend status.

As for...

Far better than the suckyness that was FF8 "Uh we all grew up at the same orphanage but then fiddle-di-de we just plain forgot, duh!!, but what a coincidink that we all ended up as friends being the only peple who can save the world!!"

You can?t tell me that you have realized most stories are very formulaic by now; I mean if there wasn?t for some inexplicable group of friends that come out of nowhere and magically save the world then we wouldn?t have the genre.

In the end, I?m just on the other side of the river. I?ll never understand why it was so great because I played others before it; the same as fanboys can?t see it?s flaws because it is the obelisk for witch the current status of the genre stands. It?s not an abomination, it?s just not my brand of liquor.
