Final Fantasy X Remake/Remaster

[Cookie Monster]

The reason many people hate FF7 is because some FF7 fans insist that "FF7 is the best gaem evar!" and that "All other games (especially Final Fantasy games that aren't 7) suck!". In retaliation many people turn their hate of the fanboys against FF7 instead of the fans. As for whether the game is good or not, it is basd on gameplay, not graphics, but many FF7 fans use the graphics to justify their preference and judgement.

But never have I heard someone say they hated FF7 because of it's graphics. In fact I know many of it's haters are loyal to past Final Fantasy games such as six and 4. Many other FF7 haters like 8 and 9 which have around the same graphical qualities.

I don't hate FF7, but I don't love it either. It is a decent game but when it came out, it focused more on graphics and that is where the flaw comes in. Something that focuses more on graphics will eventually become underpowered graphically and when that happens it rapidly ages. Games that focus on great gameplay age much better and tend to look just as good as day one. Examples include Mario and Zelda games. Don't take that to mean that great games lack great graphics or that great graphics detract in any way from a game. But the focus away from the core of the game and towards the aesthetics of it does eventually detract from it. It creates a time bomb for that game.

This thread is not about why people love or hate FF VII, we don't want more threads like that... let's stay on topic.
