How did FF7 not alienate everyone?

I didn't know people unironically think that

It's was babby's first FF.

>US marketing budget of over $100 fucking million
Still blows my mind. Gotta miss when Squaresoft had fucking balls. Fucking Squeenix sucks.

>futuristic setting
>focus on le big action set pieces
So?
>pre rendered background that make movement a pain.
Are you a spatially challenged jew?
>similar amount of time to ff13 (which everyone did complain about) before game FF7 was never a corridor, unlike 13.
>>Somehow worse version of atb.
How so?

Well in terms of FF they always had nightmares trying toocalize the series. They kicked down the fucking door with their giant chink cocks with 7.

Dunno man,
>no main character, the few that get any real development can be summed up in two sentences
>mediocre music where no tracks are particularly memorable
>the clown being the big bad is extraordinarily stupid and there's no real build up to it
>painfully retarded sequences like the opera scene
>the end of the world forces you to get all your party members again just to beat the game in the most tedious sequence imaginable
>the end of the world also undoes all the characterization of Celes
>shitty side characters
>kefka poisons a kingdom because ??? oh i guess they needed the mustache guy to have a reason to join you
>ultra simple combat system
>very little challenge
>poorly fleshed out ability and esper systems
I get it, it's the hipsters choice because FF7 is so le overrated and it's actually le best FF ever but there's a point where after 15 years of your bullshit people are gonna check out what you're talking about and they're gonna confront you about the flaws. It's pretty bad. Definitely one of Square's weaker games. It's largely forgotten about in Japan and held in very low regard.

>similar amount of time to ff13 (which everyone did complain about) before game world opens up
Bullshit. You can leave Midgar in a few hours. It takes double digit hours to get to the open field in 13, and for abilities to be unlocked. Even levelling was a corridor in 13.

Because you're seeing a game released in the 90's with eyes from almost the 2020's. You obviously have no idea the huge leap that was going from Final Fantasy VI with sprites and 2D over-the-head maps to a full 3D enviroment, monsters, CGI videos and disc-quality music. That novelty alone is what made people so interested in games like this, Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 to name the more popular ones. The fact that it actually was an incredibly good game with an engaging story and a world filled with secrets is what made it so popular.
Simply said, stop evaluating retro games with modern standards.

>futuristic setting
ff has always had futuristic elements. plus, ff6 had already moved away from the ye olde medieval setting anyway.
