Game is responsible for causing stagnation. After it was released, everyone was popping a boner over shitty ps1 3D and cg movies. Except they were not Squaresoft and could not replicate ff7 so they were mostly doomed to failure. So we had all these half-assed shitty 3D games which shouldn't have been 3D.
FF7 also almost single handedly killed the sega saturn, dreamcast, n64 and cube. FF7 killed every franchise on these systems except for like the big nintendo franchises (like zelda, mario, kirby, mario kart, etc).
FF7 also killed nearly tons of franchises on ps1 as well.
FF7 also killed PC rpgs such as baldurs gate, fallout, planescape and the companies behind them. Because people were ignoring them while being faggots because they were spooging over animu cause they were bullshitted into thinking it was "new and exciting" when it really wasn't.
Because people were only buying shitty Square games. Was it worth it? Was it really worth it?
FF7 was a shitty game back then, and is still shit now. The only people who would like this shit must be idiotic wapanese.
The game is shit, the story is shit. Japanese RPGs suck a ducks dick. They have shitty stories about characters no one gives two cents worth of shit about and they're all like this.
"Will you save the kingdom?" []Yes []No
"Will you save the kingdom?" []Yes [x]No
"You must be joking."
"Will you save the kingdom?" []Yes []No
"Will you save the kingdom?" []Yes [x]No
"You must be joking."
"Will you save the kingdom?" []Yes []No
How many fucking times do we have to go through the same shit of...
"something bad happens"
"shitty characters save the world"
"crappy ending"
That's like every fucking jrpg right there. Come fucking on. How many times do we have to deal with this animu bullshit? I'm fucking sick of this.

>>1
and yet you still played it for how many hours?
It killed off Baldur's Gate and the company behind it? Baldur's Gate 2 was released in 2000. You know, AFTER final fantasy 7. And, last I checked, Bioware is still in business.
wtf lol, maybe people played ff7 because they thought it was better than other games on the market. you cant blame another consoles defeat on the unrivalled sucess of one game. maybe those consoles (you mentioned the shatern lol) were heading out anyway.
>>7
That makes no fucking sense. The fact that Bioware is still around and making games, and the fact that BG2 was released after FF7, is pretty much proof that the stench doesn't stick around.

I agree with >>8 here. Although I'd also add that the way the industry has changed cannot be laid to blame entirely FF7. The stench which I see around the industry is one which makes everything graphics-centric, mega budget and low risk.

I agree the OP, FF VII sucks balls. The controls sucked really bad, the pre rendered 3d enviroments we're such a pixilated mess that you could hardly make out anything which added frustration because you couldn't tell the difference between the walkway you were on or a random object, the graphics were horrible for the PS1 other than the lame cutscenes (square-armed Lego people FTW!) the materia system was just a clever way of puting the job system in disguise, the story contradicted itself (if you didn't notice them then you suck at reading) the battles were lame and slow, why should it take 5 minutes to get through casting a summon? I had to avoid using alot of spells because they took forever..well I can go on but I'll stop now, anyway FF VII sucks big dick.
FF7 was the beginning of graphic whores and the end of the beginning of the stagnation point for the final fantasy series as a whole.
Ever since final fantasy 7,the games always had something that kept it at either being half decent or all the way bad
FF9:story sucked characters were good
FF8:took way to long to get to the story and by the time then i didn't give a shit,ontop of that it's linear and the high encounter ratio and teh stupid seed thing where you run and your seed rank goes down sucks.
FFX:it has good characters and the story is not bad,but it suffers of being linear and it kinda hurts the game.
FFXII revenant wings:the characters look like muppets and the dialogue is stupid
I HATE women. I never had a girlfriend and never will. The only times I got laid was when I paid a woman or promised her something. I'm never going to hold hands with a chick, kiss a girl intimately because we're in love, or any of the other shit that human beings were made to do. I guess that I'm suppose to be happy masturbating every fucking night. I'm a man with sexual urges and can't get with a female. I'm suppose to be alright with that? THERE IS A FUCKING CURSE ON MY LIFE. A CURSE THAT PREVENTS ANY FEMALE FROM LIKING ME. Oh I forgot, I do get interest from fat chicks and I'm not attracted to fat chicks.
I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm going to become the biggest asshole in the world. I tried the whole being considerate thing and it got me nowhere. If people can't handle my newfound harshness, then bring it on. BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.
I get happy when I hear about some college slut getting murdered or injured in a hit and run. "oh she was a beautiful and talented girl, how could this happen." I don't know but I'm glad it did.

FF7 is a good game but, revolutionary in many respects but many people who call it "one of the greatest games ever made" have never even played it and if they have they haven't even got far enough to leave Midgar. Also the "compilmation of FF7" including Advent Children is a load of retcon fanservice crap. One of the characters like Kadaj I think summons Bahamut with a freakin' green materia, that's how little research the idiots who made that film did.

TRUTH. Most of FF7 is basicly chaising Sephoroth around a map. Nothing big post-Midgar. I actually think Morrowind is much better. I mean giving people a choice in HOW to do things is better than eye-candy. In fact I blame FF in general for the ZOMG eye-candy movement. Before FF it was about the game. Most RPGs today are about making cool playable movies. Why not just make a damn movie? I wanna PLAY my games.
anyone who blasts this game on the internet is the biggest idiot in the world in fact he probably started the game fought one fight and cut it off he was probably killed in the first fight got pissed stepped on the game and started blasting this game because he didnt give it a chance he probably didnt even name his character grow up asshole it is the most selled rpg in history and considered by most to be the best game of all time it revoloutionized rpgs until final fantasy x so if you havnt beaten the game go kill yourself you motherfucker

Nick, you're a faggot. Sales mean nothing in comparison to taste or integrity... just look at pop culture and music in america, it's shit. People say its the best game of all time don't realize there will never be a "best game of all time" - there is no revolutionary RPG, they just had some money to develop pre-rendered scenes to put on a CD.

i've owned ff7 and still bought and played many of the games you mentioned. Baldur's Gate/ BGII did great so i dont know why you insist that FFVII killed PC games. As for PSX, Breathe of Fire III, Alundra, Riven, and a few others come to mind. FFVII helped move on from the shitty format of previous platform RPGS. FFVIII would've been great if the characters didnt look like shit ingame though :\
I agree with OP. I always heard that FF7 is supposed to be sooooo good, so I downloaded it and stopped after 20 min. The games was fucking terrible, the ones who like it must be nostalgic faggots.

I HAVE actually played FF7, and don't think it's that bad. It's just. THOSE. F**KING. FANBOYS. WE SHOULD DESTROY THEMMMM! (and all but 1 of the party members while at it. GO ahead, guess which one she is that I actually kinda like.)

Video games are like dessert.
Pie fans like pie, and they're happy eating pie. Cake fans eat cake, and they're happy eating cake.
Then the pie and cake fans find out about each other and they can't believe someone could like something that's not their favorite dessert.
So the cake fans bake a pie, but they bake it until it's burned and make way too much crust, and leave the seeds in the apple filling. They show their pie to the pie fans and say 'look, pie is terrible, you should eat cake!'
Then the pie fans bake a cake, but they add curry to the batter as they're making it, and they don't cook it long enough so it's gross and mushy, and they use steak sauce mixed with vanilla frosting to coat it. they show their cake to the cake fans and say, 'look at this cake, it's absolutely horrible. pie is much better!'
