How could they have made FF7, one of the most entertaining entries in the whole franchise...

while he is retarded, I don't believe sales numbers are a good indication of the entertainment value.
The fact that so many people remember the story, characters, music, everything except the combat so fondly to this day is what lets the game speak its worth

>More sales = better game
I'll be honest though the first disc of ff7 is probably Final Fantasy at its peak.

This was actually the first game he ruined with time jannies, only you were forced to play as them.
Fuck it could have been great if they just kept it a simple military academy/war story

>When the commercial explained the story better than all of Yas Forums
keep getting filtered low iq trannies

FF8 is the best FF.

Said no one ever.

>Fuck it could have been great if they just kept it simple
The same could be said for most FF games.

Sales mean the game is actually worse, less sales + more acclaim means a game is actually popular based on word of mouth praise about the game's quality.

If you remove the orphanage shit and don't make enemies scale with your level this game is kino as fuck

Agreed

They made the game too complex for retards like you.

Filtered. Enjoy Nomura shitting on your game series for the next decade, I'm sure you're used to it after Crisis Core and DoC

>Squall suddenly caring for some bitch he thought was annoying

this is what ruined Squall for me

What is wrong with both? Orphanage was foreshadowed multiple times throughout the story and enemy scaling just makes sure the enemies and bosses are not completely pathetic. I wish there was an option to play the game on lv100 from the beginning, it would make enemies stronger and more interesting.

FF7 was the first step to nuFantasy though
FF9 and 11 were an attempt to go back to its roots

WOW it's almost like people can grow and change after shared experiences

It was part of him managing to open up after he closed himself off because of Elone leaving him after he was already an Orphan

And if you buy into R = U Like I do, then he may have been made her knight.

>best soundtrack
Too subjective, but it is a great soundtrack
>best protag
He was great, too bad the rest of the cast is undeveloped shit
>great art direction
Yes
>themes / gameplay synergy
Yes
>subtle writing
Inconsistent, but yes
>good combat / leveling system
Fuck no it's hideously unbalanced

>11
do you mean 12 or 10?

>suddenly
He cares about people but doesn't show it. Rinoa actually compliments his personality well and brings what he needs to grow, and she is hot. Being enamored by her is not a stretch.

he hardly interacted with her outside of that dance scene

Squall x Rinoa is the second worst developed romance in FF history, behind the shitty one in 15 due to "lol, arranged marriage"

>Fuck no it's hideously unbalanced
It's what you want it to be. If you decide to grind cards and mod them into 100 quake after you get out of Ifrit's cave and then cry because you IK everything that's on you. It's an option. Just as much as not using magic and autistically hoarding it for muh efficiency is an option.

10, yes

I enjoyed first half. Second half was absolutely retarded.
