>Does the game get any better No. All the fun is in the 5 hour long action setpiece movie set in the beautifully rendered dieselpunk dystopia on disc 1. After you leave Midgar, the plot loses velocity and you meander around a visually unmemorable world. Combat and character building on the PS1 mainline FFs never become really engaging.>or is it just overrated slop? It is somewhat overrated and has become a sacred cow, but parts of the story are pretty good, namely the protagonist twist. The plot was pretty revolutionary at the time.You might want to try out FF9 and the PS2/PS3 FFs. FF9 is the best PS1 FF game with the story maintaining high velocity for 20 hours instead of 5, though it has the same combat issue. The PS2 and PS3 FFs have more engaging combat (not character building though), but they have some pacing issues.If you want really engaging combat and character building, then you will want to either check out the latter Trails games (Trails of Cold Steel and Kuro arc) or Tactics games like FFTA2.

Since you're admittedly young, here's some wisdom for you, kid: You should be saying shit like that after you've beaten the game. Otherwise, you might end up making an ass out of yourself for opening your mouth when you know nothing, Jon Snow

Seriously though, it's not the best thing ever. We didn't have much to choose from back in the day, in terms of entertainment. But the fact that the devs decided to make a game that's fairly understandable by the end of it all, still beatable by children ages 10 and above, and etc. etc. speaks volumes as to how/why they were able to become massively successful and how/why there are so many fans of this what you kids call "slop" nowadays.Games like this can also work as sort of like a comfort food type of game where after you've beaten the game and have familiarized yourself with everything that's going to happen or where/what you need to go/do, you can just relax and easily play through it without it being something that occupies your mind the whole day, especially when you have work/school/life to worry about.

The thing is, if y'all played Final Fantasy VI before VII, you wouldn't be saying what your'e saying. Yes, the crossdressing part is weird. I kept wondering the whole time there why we couldn't just bust in through the front door and beat everyone up like we did in the other previous stages. But it's kinda like Star Wars, you know. if you watched the original unedited version of Episode 4 for the first time today, you'd see how slow and boring it was, the fight scene between Darth Vader and Obi-wan was the worst thing ever, heck, you'd even be convinced that you're retarded since it's super well-received and a super successful billion-dollar film franchise yet it didn't look like a movie that could beat The Green Lantern in terms of movie ratings. The point is, that there wasn't anything like it at the time. There's an attempt at making the game replayable with the materia system, there's an effort put in to make this long journey worth it by the end, it's just that you have to finish it before you'd see that.

It sucks until you get out of Midgar into the open world at the end of Disc 1.

some girl who probably never played an RPG was buying a handful of playstation games, i guess she never had a console, this was back at the turn of the millenium when this was believable. anyway she saw this harry potter lookin kid and asked me what game was good. i told her to buy final fantasy vii. i'd like to think she played through the whole thing cursing and when she got to the end she felt tremendous pride.

>Does the game get any better or is it just overrated slop? no, all of the fun shit gets flattened by the big pizza EXCEPT all of the faggots who miraculously live to torture you with gay bullshit in golden tel aviv. sephiroth convinces cloud to murder aerith and then fucks off into a volcano or some shit waiting for you to fuck him into oblivion using knights of the round + healing combo. it all gets retconned for the most dogshit cgi movie of all time known as final fantasy 7 hd remake.

>At least the music is good. You think 7 is good, wait till you play 8. FF8 is generally considered to have one of the best videogame soundtracks of its era.

FFVII is the perfect example of a game that was great for its time and its demographic. You have to put yourself in the frame of mind of a young boy during a summer vacation in the late 90s to really appreciate it. I've been playing it recently and have thought to myself that it would have been amazing if I had played it when I was a kid. The Midgar section in particular is well-paced and is a good early example of a game that feels like a movie in a good way. The early story does a good job of making you want to know what happens next. That being said, there are a lot of drawbacks to the game. The dialogue and characterization is painfully simple, in part due to the translation and the lack of space. The tight pacing and interesting setting in the first act give way to an empty open world where you walk around slowly fighting battles against trash mobs every three steps or so before going to a town and doing a quest that feels like a distraction. The "great story" is cool if you've never read an actual book. The menus are terrible and clunky. The slow attack animations are cool the first time and tedious every time after that. ATB combat is cancer that combines the worst of real-time and turn-based systems; only someone with a combination of ADHD and Down Syndrome could truly enjoy it. I can easily see myself loving this game as a kid, but as an adult, a lot of it feels like tedious busywork. It was an important game for its time; the fact that other games have surpassed it shouldn't be counted against it.
