17. I hear you on one point - a lot of people I know who hated XII had, in my opinion, "dumb" reasons to hate it. So many people I know gave up on it because it wasn't written at their precious middle-school reading level, because characters were lying and keeping plot information back, and because the large cast of npcs were honestly as important as the party.

But for the love of god, WILL PEOPLE STOP BLAMING THE FFVII FANS? We're not all elitists who stomp on other FF's. In fact, I see very little of that out of VII fans these days - maybe I'm just looking at it from the wrong angle, but it seems like VII fans get a lot of shit, rather than give it these days. If anything, when I see people insulting fans of FFVII, they'll turn right around and claim some nonsense about how FFVII fans are opreshun-ing them.

Why is it worse if someone hated XII and liked VII, but not if they preferred any other? Is it so hard to believe that FFVII had redeeming qualities? Because you know, not everyone who prefers VII over another FF is some mouth-breathing Sephiroth fangirl. Some of us might just really have enjoyed a videogame featuring an out-of-the-box and thoroughly modern evil empire, a cast of lying cowards, and incorrect flashbacks. Maybe some people just find dystopian sci-fi more interesting than the fantasy-with-airships mix that seems to oversaturate the JRPG genre. I'm tired of having to defend my love of FFXII and VII. Do I have some sort of magical ability to pick the games that everyone is going to hate on or what?


33. Completely unrelated to your secret, the Pope terrifies me, and I'm catholic. =( As a result, it took me a second to realize that you meant, you know, God. And not like... the god of scary faces made by a man in a silly hat that somehow magnifies the scary.

We must share that ability, because I keep wondering the same thing sometimes.

I just don't get why people just can't say "hey I like this game!" without also saying "because it's so much better than this one".

I've liked all FF games I've played (from VI to XII). Some things have bothered me in some games (like the pacing of the love story in VIII for example), but using the bad things in one game to make another look better only makes it seem like it's the only way it can look good.

I have a special love for VII, and still think it's an awesome game. It doesn't affect my opinion of any of the others.

(Also, i thought it was the VII fans that always were bashed? The VI fans think's we're just into "the new crap", and the fans of later games thinks we're stuck up with no right to be, since we're not proper "old-school" fans anyway. Or have I been out of the fandom for too long?)
