My brain is unable to comprehend how epic this must have been in 1997.

It was just a 3D Kefka, except with worse music and a better back-and-forth with the main character
Carson Rivera
>random science formulas appear on the screen
Makes me laugh everytime.
Jayden Powell
FFVII as a whole was mind-blowing back then
David Ward
i dont even remember kefka's theme despite beating ff6 years later,how can it ever be worse than one winged angel midi?
Angel Collins
It was okay. Aire Tam Storm is what impressed me.
Kefka was way more hype. Climbing that tower and his battle intro above the clouds was fucking insane.
>Better back and forth with the main character
Eh. Better connection maybe, better hero/nemesis contrast, but Kefka had far more memorable dialogue than Sephiroth did. Sephiroth was generally a much more passive, looming villain. Leaving Cloud to carry their dynamic on his back.
Logan Anderson
Dancing Mad is admittedly really good. As well as the whole Dante's Inferno style ascending from Hell final boss fight. I do think overall 7 was a tighter game though
Liam Hill
It's hinting that what you're seeing isn't actually happening, it's a simulation of what will occur if the meteor continues. The equations are sephiroth calculating the simulation. The choice of equations is still random in the end, but they serve a purpose.
Joshua Ross
>i dont even remember kefkas theme
That's because it's 20 minutes long
Brayden Miller
>Leaving Cloud to carry their dynamic on his back.
This. The most interesting thing about Sephiroth is the effect that he has on Cloud. Vs Kefka who didn't interact with the main cast as much but could still be entertaining in a vacuum.
Juan Rogers
But wasn't meteor supposed to strike Earth and not the sun?
Ethan Johnson
Alot of gamers these days just assume it was the graphics (which wernt even good for its day) or some anime-obsession, or just Final Fantasy loyalty. but the truth is that it was just timing. It was a perfectly timed game, and 1997 was the year you were able to enjoy it the MOST. because it was after 6 (which got everyones dick hard anyway.) and juuuust before PS1's more theatrical, almost golden-era of genre bending JRPGs that owe everything to FF7 for opening this bizzare door to western audiences. Yes, it was pretty fucking awesome. But the best thing about FF7 is what it inspired afterward. Like Xenogears or Vagrant Story.
Liam Hill
Then he altered the course for the simulation. Either way it's definitely not a depiction of real events, otherwise the battle would be over.
Elijah Smith
yes.
Sephiroths ridiculous attack is just a perfect example of the creators " anything is possible" motif of FF7. They simply didnt give a shit that it made no sense.
Parker Cooper
Supernova and meteor are not the same thing.
Don corneo is a weird guy. Okay kidnapping a bunch of women in the slums to have sex with on a daily basis it's something I can at least understand. But this guy went to Wutai to kidnap women and tourists, strap them on to a mountain, so he could fuck them upside down on the face of Wutai's ancestors
Kayden Scott
So are Bahamut Zero and KotR "simulations" too? How about Dolphin Blow?
Joshua Parker
I was 4 years old in 1997, i didn't play ff7 until years later because my parents wouldn't let me.
Angel Reyes
Doubt you'd have gotten much out of a text heavy game at 4 anyway.
Logan Martin
Part 4 is the best prog track in the franchise.
Dylan Parker
Bahamut Zero is pretty nuts but there's no reason it can't occur, it doesn't literally destroy the earth like Supernova does. KotR and Dolphin Blow are just stylized.
Luis Rogers
>but the truth is that it was just timing
This. For most western fans it was the first mainstream introduction to JRPGs.
Nathaniel Bennett
If Bahamut zero was active there would be craters all over the planet. Zero would probably be looked at as an angry god that needed to be appeased and not the pet to a loose collection of terrorists, mercenaries, and hobos.
Noah Torres
*miss*
Jason Collins
They will remove Pluto from this animation in the remake because it is not considered a planet anymore.
William Cruz
A pretty solid FF rule is that if you meet a fat, white, wealthy guy. He's a souless monster obsessed with raping women and stealing shit.
...which frankly is a truer lesson than it should be.
> remember in Breath of Fire 4? when the smelly French lizard forces Nina to be his foot-massage slave? and strait up fucks her off camera?
Liam Adams
A lot of the graphics were damn impressive at the time. I remember showing off the battle graphics to people and the FMVs were amazing of course. But yeah, that period was a golden age for RPGs and especially Square.
John Roberts
the success in Europe is because it was litierally the first time FF ever got released there. Graphics themselves were considered fucking ugly compared to 2D, but it was "promising" so people endured that shit.
Landon Bennett
The transitions using the pre-rendered backgrounds for things like lifts are still gorgeous to this day
Ian Turner
>FF7
>FF6tards immediately invade, seething that their mediocre game is only getting exactly the popularity is deserve
Like pottery.
Adam Gutierrez
Yeah bro and Ash Ketchum is in a coma and all of Pokemon is a dream bro
Josiah Martinez
I shoulda given 4 more of a chance.
Jose Wood
Same. Somehow I've never finished a Breath of Fire game despite playing 1-4.
Aiden Lewis
?
They're both pretty mediocre.
Kevin Miller
It's a good theme, but I remember it more on the japanese man cooking mushroom video than the game itself.
Asher Turner
it's still epic in 2019 desu, what other final bosses are this grand?
Benjamin Green
Indeed.
But the massive disparity in popularity and how poorly 6fags handle it is absolutely hilarious.
Josiah Bennett
14 to be exact
Jaxon Carter
The only RPG I can think of with implied rape of a female party member is Skies of Arcadia, where Vigoro clearly makes a cocksleeve out of Aika.
Samuel Scott
Makes me sad, FFVI and FFVII are two of my favorite games and I think they're about equal. I remember how much I was looking forward to VII back in the day as a huge VI fan. I'd obsess over magazine previews and the commercials for it. When it came out it lived up to all my expectations.
Leo Adams
I mean I'm pretty indifferent. They're about equal.
Mason Thomas
Epic until he's doing it for the 6th time and you're just waiting for him to get on with it.
Nathaniel Moore
I'm pretty sure FF6 fans don't exist. They are just a bunch of shitposters who don't even like and/or play RPGs. Kinda like Diablo 2 fans.
Mason Reed
Yeah this "rivalry" is a bit annoying and unnecessary. I had a friend that tried to bait me into an argument about this all the time.
Camden Harris
Reminds me of the entirety of FF8.
Aaron Cook
>Miss
Logan Ramirez
Yeah, I had a problem with that to. But in contrast I did spam multiple KotR agains all Weapons and both Sephiroths.
Josiah Long
Wait FFVII is set on earth?
What the fuck
Mason Clark
Yea Forums loves to shitpost by trying to start shitflinging between those two games. They actually hate both, being subhuman wrpgfags themselves, so it's purely for the sake of burying the threads in forced conflict. Just ignore it, let them argue with themselves.
Evan Rivera
Matthew Harris
>mfw my entire family was watching me fight Sephiroth
Everyone complained about being transformed into frogs
Noah Price
NOMURA CONFIRMED WE WILL SEE SHINRA IN TGS
Turks incoming
Kayden Thomas
Yeah. I'm still pumped up to see how they'll look in the remake.
Noah Harris
>Experimental 3D games like FF7 will never be a thing again
Cameron Russell
Me and and my sister we SHAT our pants not because of the meteor and the cinematic itself, but because it was sephiroth summon.
WE Just needed to see the animation of sephiroth summoning (his Sprite dissapearing) to get hyped
Hudson Bell
this holy shit, i was wishing that shit was skippable. im like you already destroyed the solar system how the fuck are you doing it a 7th time
