I've met a lot of ff8 and 10 fans who didn't like 7, but they also didn't like 6. I'm shocked. You are quite literally the first ff fan I’ve ever met who loved 6 but didn’t also love 7.

I’ve met a lot of ff8 and 10 fans who didn’t like 7, but they also didn’t like 6.

I’m shocked.

I didn't bat an eyelash when Aerith died. I found all of the characters in FFVII to be two dimensional and boring. To me, VII just barely makes it into my Top 10 Final Fantasy games. It's still a good game, but I consider it to be one of the most overrated. I don’t consider it to be a good relationship when one person is completely closed off for no reason.

Still, I really want to finish it some day... just don't have the time to do a full playthrough to make sure I'm ready to face with Yunalesca again, as I'm at a point where I can't return to level my characters. All Final Fantasy games are played in the same way for me... play, get stuck, start again, play better this time, make better choices, waste less levelling points, miss less unique loot etc., beat the boss I got stuck on (which always turns out to be easy... if you just prepare right), play on, get stuck again... rinse & repeat. Final Fantasy VIII was the worst in that regard, so many GFs you could miss out on that on my first play, I managed to get to Cerberus with only the first three GFs. I only got stuck once or twice before Yunalesca in FF X. It already broke my heart when they finally figured out about what Tidus really is and what this means for them.

I cry every time I watch it(and I occasionally go back and redo the end boss to watch it again)... Dang poor guy… the end movie of that game was one of the most emotional moments in gaming to date.

We were judging the couple, not the c haracter. Squall was a bit of an annoying character, but the relationship between him and Rinoa was memorable and incredible - and drove the entire story, whereas the relationship between Locke and Celes got very little attention... except in a few small parts and only really had an impact on the part where you initially rescue Celes and her failed attempt to commit suicide... But your interpretation of Aerith couldn't be more opposite from what I got... between Crisis Core and FF7 itself I have to say there are few female leads that I feel more of a connection to than Aerith... her character was vibrant, had a deep history, and she was hardly a 'damsel in distress' except in the opening sequence of sector 5. And her death taught gamers accross the world to cry... but again this is about the relationship, not the character. I have to say that seems a little wrong.

Still, I can live with FF VI on the list. And yes, the 'laughing scene' was probably the weirdest thing EVER... I don't think anybody in the entire world ever thought that was not incredibly cringe-worthy.
