You say that yet Grandia is a dead ass series that only a tiny minority even knows about. It doesn't even have 1% of the fanbase of FF7 let alone final fantasy series.
What is it about this generic turn-based JRPG combat system that makes it so much more fun than other generic...
>The Materia system is very good
the materia system was wasted potential, most of it was just basic spells and the combos with 2 materias were very limited
that makes sense
>"exploration" over aesthetic
>thinks 2d pre-renders are bad
Yeah go back to playing the Witcher 3 or whatever open world trash you zoomers like. Tasteless pleb.
ATB is garbage and is inherently unfair compared to other turn based systems.
>POPULAR GAME GOOD
>LESS POPULAR GAME BAD
So what you're saying is that Fortnite is a far betteer game than FF7?
FF7 wishes it was half as good as Grandia.
Grandia might have slightly better combat but everything else about it can't compete with FF7, which is the better game overall.
>jrpg combat is usually the weakest part of the genre
>what are Valkyrie Profile/SaGa/Grandia/BoF3/4 Star Ocean 2 and many more?
FFX had the best combat in the franchise. If they had stuck with it and made it more tactical and difficult it would’ve been amazing.
>voice acting
Voice-acting sucks and has always sucked and you suck if you think having it makes a game better. There's literally never been a game where I've said "damn, you know what this game needs? Some shit voice acting to drag out cutscenes that are already longer than they should be."
>polygonal models
The FF7 character models are designed to be expressive in animation, something brainless graphicsfags never understand.
>environments are static and small 2d backgrounds
And still hold up today due to their rich detail and remain consistent with traditional top-down Final Fantasy map navigation.
Meanwhile Grandia's 5th gen pre-analog stick 3D environments are ugly with awkward camera controls.
>low-quality midi(sic) music
Which is fine since Uematsu is very good at composing entertaining digital music thanks to his knack for melody and counterpoint.
>Grandia
Generic dumbass JRPG opening that starts with some cryptic dialog between characters you don't know or care about then it transitions to a bunch of kids doing stupid kid stuff. Contrast with: youtube.com
