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.

Well, not that I particularly like FF7 or jRPG's in general, but you can hardly blame it for the things it caused.
If someone released the greatest game of all time, and it was so good that it killed all other game franchises, would that make the game bad?
While FF7 indeed sucks a ducks dick, don't generalize. JRPGs can be cool, too. Take Chrono Trigger for an example. It is seriously one of the best RPGs I've played.

FFVII is a VERY good game. you are just angry becuase you're sad SNES, N64 etc.. games all died. it is YOUR fault for not supporting them, dickweed. maybe you should go walk your anger of this out? or are you done pissing with FF7 and now on FF8! you sad piece of garbage
True that. I think FF& and after did send RPGs in the wrong direction. I liked the games, but they took out so much that I didn't actually realize what was missing. Things like guilds, and actual exploration (someithing that until recently 3D practically KILLED) -- and the chance to decide to be a badass rather than saving the kingdom like a good little faggot. It took Morrowind and Oblivion on my Xbox to show me that you could make a good game and give players a choice.
Graphics whores have killed off so many great games that it's not funny.

>>54 yeah but FFs always have a set story unlike Oblivion where it's always open ended.
I agree the FF7 pretty much killed off real roleplay until the PC market could make as good of graphics as a FF cutscene. People fell for the playable movie and cheap love themes and ignored the purpose of the role-PLAYING-game. Most of the JRPGS you'll find are baisc playable animes with little difficulty. They're probably OK for one playthrough, but there's no depth, and for that matter very little PLAYING. Every decision is already made for you. You have to save the planet. You have to fall in love with the designated wench. You can't be evil in any way, you can't decide that the hero would rather work for Shin-ra or whatever. You can't fuck with the NPCs, you can't do anything but play the movie the way the designers decided you have to.

That's exactly why the whole FF series is shit.

all the reasons OP suggest imply that FF7 was really good.
not that I approve of all that stuff happening mind, but the fact that it did means FF7 had alot of impact.

OP maybe youre, maybe youre not. FF7 influenced the industry in more ways than one for the good an also the bad.
Looks like somebody can't get past the bombing mission. Look kid, just because sonic and your mushroom eating plumber slowed down game production, dosnt mean they're dead. Marios flying through galaxies and sonics... Sonics dead. But he was dumb anyway. Just because you don't like a game dosnt mean u have to blame others. It's what you learn in fuckin kindergarten. Again, OP can't seem to beat level one.
OP seems to be trying to tell us something. Maybe his inherent love for shit perhaps? Or that he seems to think he knows the entire gaming history back to front. Mind that would make sense that he'd start at the back, given his love for the word, "shit".
Bro, if you don't know how/are too fucking stupid to play a game that is hailed as one of the best of all time, then that's your problem. But let's not try and pin this game as the killer of other franchises. Sonic was dead in the water for a long time, The Saturn and Dreamcast with it.
tl:dr - OP needs to stop rocking the buttsecks and stop posting on the internet. God knows it's filled with dickfucks already.

While OP maybe a big tollfag he got a point.
Final Fantasy VII got to were it is as a original jRPG but the problem is became one of the most OVERRATED mainstream games known to man, last thing we need to throw in a time capsule is FFVII.

yeah its not that great
the only really good jrpg's are the mother series
I agree with the part that VII sucked, and it was the first Final Fantasy I played. VIII was far more better than VII, and IX mopped VII with the music, characters (Main character had emotions unlike Cloud) plot etc. I would say VII is one of the worse ones, next to XIII.
I played FF7 and FFX and FF12. But I do blame them for some larger trends that are killing the RPG. I prefer open ended shit that you can play with and decide what kind of hero you want to be rather than being force fed a preconceived idea of just who my character is. I like being able to randomly explore things that I'm not supposed to see yet. And really nothing takes the stress out of a shitty day like a Dark Brotherhood quest. But whatever.
My point is more that FF games aren't true RPGs. They're playable movies that reward you for defeating a boss with more prearranged stoyline. I'd personally rather PLAY. I want to make my own story.
But those games are dying due to graphics whoredom and weeaboo.

Lot of hate here for VII. Am I the only one who here who thinks it's a good game?
Sure, it derailed the RPG industry with every single game trying to mimic it. It spawned the abominations that FF games today are. I never saw it as a traditional RPG. It was a new concept at the time, now it is not so new as everyone has copied it in a way.
And it was the game that started Fandom, shitty fanart/porn and weebooism on the internet. Straight after it's release hundreds of forums opened up with weeboo's circle jerking and argueing about weather Cloud loved Aries or Tifa (Love wasn't really a large aspect of the game anyway).
It did what Halo did to the FPS industry, changed it forever for better or worse. Nothing can be done about it now, Traditional RPGs are a dying breed.

FFS FF7 was a great game on the ps1. You get to do the chocobo races, and then get the crazy fast ones from the ice land. You get to fall into the radiation shit and turn into a vegetable. Cid smoked a pack of smokes while flying around in his space ship. You get the opportunity to fight ruby weapon. One of the hardest fights in rpg history. Not to mention the basketball game in the arcade. That game had me reminiscing about the dash game in Crono Trigger.... and all you faggots can't tell me Crono trigger wasn't the shit. That game busts a nut all over the other games. SKEET SKEET MOTHER FUCKER!
