I &@$#ing hate Final Fantasy 7
and no it's not because I haven't tried everything.
in fact if you trace back almost all tips, guides and information,
you will find my name pop up as the original source.
I ripped this game apart and lapped its juicy insides
and all found was the ridiculous case of
just put everything in there and it'll sell for sure.
the game is fundamentally broken from start to end.
fine to say that discovery is half the fun,
but the real reason you're looking everything up,
is because this game is the most non-user-friendly,
poorly guided, terribly explained, confusing mess,
that I have ever had the displeasure to have experienced,
and those who say that it isn't,
are exactly the same people who defend Skyrim's glitches,
by saying they are a feature of the gameplay.
it's not that it's old or ground-breaking,
it's just bad,
and they poured red spectacles into this garbage gumbo,
because they knew the American market would lap that cream up.
more does not mean better by default,
it's just an excuse for poor management, poor structure,
and a complete disregard for the audience intended for the game.
there were other games available at the time that were huge,
and had features aplenty and a cool story to boot,
they even looked better too,
and they didn't take this much time and effort to do.
you fans are all victims of hype.
face it, you waste your time with it because you want more,
but you will never be satisfied,
because it's the gift that keeps on feeding you scraps.
grow up you big babies and play games that actually satisfy.
Half-Life (the original one) for example,
was simple to learn, hard to master,
and had a narrative that was simple and compelling,
fed to you beautifully through dynamic level events.
Portal 1 and 2 both are fantastic narratives,
with excellent easy to learn, hard to master gameplay.
these are of course highly specific examples,
but it's not hard to find better options,
even for the time of FF7's initial release,
to suit any playstyle, any level of investment,
and be way more coherent in the gameplay mechanics.
but sure, go weeb out in the comments.
tell me how uninformed I am.
you have no idea how much I understand this game.
I will laugh and laugh.
