FF VII hate?

I never understood why people hate FF VII, honestly. It seems that the majority of people who have some unfathomable dislike for the game just hate it for the fact that it's so popular, which makes no sense to me. I wasn't trying to start an argument or anything; the limited edition system looks cool, and I'm a fan of the game so I thought I'd share it with the board.

I don't understand it either. Even if you think the game is overrated, or you don't like it, you should at least be able to see that it's a good game(production, music, gameplay) in general, and to people who enjoy turn based RPGs. If people disklike it because it is popular, then something about the way people determine how a game can be good or bad is seriously wrong.

I don't like FFVII. Here's why. ****NOTE**** when i say that FFVII sucks, I basically mean that it wasnt as good as FFVI, FFVIII, FFIX, or FFX. ****End NOTE****

Hiroyuki Itō wasnt in this project - where he had been in every single FF before it. He was part of the creation process in every one of the previous games(as well as FFVIII and FFIX) and designed many of the fan favorite concepts that are used in the FF universe. But, wasnt in FFVII. And? Well, I'm not going to say that he was the lynch pin to FF's success - he's not, but he's definitely part of it.

 FFVII was the "break out" FF, followed by the next "break out" FF, FFIII. These went away from the fantasy worlds with fantasy aspects and breached into a mixture of a modern world with elements contemporary to our own alongside the mixture of fantasy. It's not as dreamscape'd. I don't want to think of evil corporations ruining existence for me when I play a fantasy RPG - I get to play real life enough.

FFVII had some pretty fucking gay moments. If there was an emo edition of FF, its 7. People who like this game best in the FF series like to say that there was a lot of player-character emotion sharing. Aka, "I fell in love with this game because I felt I could relate to Cloud." You're a faggot. Same goes for 8(well...i loved 8 ALOT, but it still had gay moments). Shit same goes for any game that has Yoshinori Kitase had lead directing/writing/scenario concepting. Ya, I fucking said it, Yoshinori Kitase sucks. Kingdom Hearts? Faggy. KH2? Faggy and emo. FFX? well..I loved it actually. FFX-2 Faggy, emo, copypasta to me. After the chain of emo ass games he's been making/producing no he's going to be the thing that makes me hate FFXIII and OP love it - its a promise.

To continue from the above paragragh, Yoshinori Kitase sucks. I hate him. Buying Kingdom Hearts is like buying Yoshinori Kitase in a fucking box. He fucked the whole franchise up (even when he redeemed himself some with FFVIII and FFX) by coming in at FFV and not having a proper grasp of wtf made/makes FF so great. A little Yoshinori Kitase goes a long way. FFVI where he co-directed with Hiroyuki Itō was a great combo. Then for some fucking reason, he got to direct FFVII entirely by himself, and co-write. Result? the first shitty FF game with crappy mechanics (loved KoTR though...) that was more about the "concept," relating to the character, and writing then it was the enjoyability of an entire game.  Fuck him. Hiroyuki Itō was responsible for most of the mechanics that makes FF great. Wasnt in VII and Yoshinori Kitase's faggy ass ruined it on his own. FFVII was different because of Yoshinori Kitase's directing. It sucked because of Yoshinori Kitase's directing. ****sub-note**** writing and concept work is fundamental to games - I can appreciate and actually somewhat admire Yoshinori Kitase for his attention to this area, but lots of writing and concept work becomes lost when its translated and given to a culture with different outlooks/views - and when it subtracts designers' attention to the playability/mechanics of the game.

Map of FFVII is just Eng/Scotland, a weird angle of North America+invisible mexico+South America+Greenland, and China+Korea+Japan. No fucking joke. Look at it again. I saw that when I first played the game. Moar "don't leave reality" plz.

I liked the female characters in FFVII a lot. They weren't annoying an Princess. Points given there.

Seph is a pretty cool guy blah blah.
