Originally posted by SaiKarRanting and spoilers, so Drighton might not want to read this.I played FF7 all the way through once. I never owned a PlayStation so I played it on a friend's. It was okay. I can understand the hype. Despite being dated, the graphics are aeons above anything that had been previously seen in RPGs. The Materia system is also pretty interesting. And it's modern, which I really didn't care for, but some parts were done very well (i.e. the entire opening in Midgar.)I really disliked the entire cast though. Cloud is a psycopathic liar. Sephiroth is a self-dillusional maniac. Aeris is so sweet as to be totally unbelievable. Barret REALLY cares about the Planet, which is why he swears constantly around anyone, including small children. Yuffie and Vincent got so little screentime as to not be worth mentioning. Red XIII is the typical very boring nonhuman that has a connection with the earth. Tifa actually had some potential, having a touching past with Cloud, but let's face it, she's a whore. The only one I didn't DISLIKE was Cid, who wanted to go into space, couldn't, and was bitter about it. Pretty realistic guy. Very unimportant to the plot though.The last half of the plot made no sense at all. Come to think of it, the first half was pretty sketchy too. Who Sephiroth is and how he's going to acomplish what he wants to do is needlessly drawn out and absurd. In the second half SHINRA comes up with a plan to save the world. 1) blow up the Meteor with a rocket. 2) shoot off Sephiroth's dome with a big laser. For reasons that STILL BOGGLE ME, Cloud's party disables the rocket that's going to impact the meteor. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS?! They went after the laser too, but SHINRA was smart enough to see them coming and fire it before they could get there.Bottom line, I didn't like the story and I didn't like the cast. Some of the minigames were pretty fun though. It's not a game I would have called a classic, but I'm not a rampaging mob of fanboys, so oh well.
