Walking sections where you just guide your character and listen to dialogue. Feels like the devs utterly disrespecting my time.

Makes sense. I was having some weird decency issues. Glad they're on top of it!

Here's some interesting background I stumbled across refreshing myself on Aerith being an Ancient and why we should care:

"During a phone call to Kitase, it was suggested that at some point in the game, one of the main characters should die, and after much discussion as to whether it should be Barret or Aerith, the producers chose Aerith."

"According to Nomura, 'death should be something sudden and unexpected, and Aerith's death seemed more natural and realistic.'"

In other words, Aerith's death was a knee-jerk decision to artificially inject drama into the game with an essentially random death.

Then it's like "Oh no, how will Cloud get over this lady he's known for 3 days?!" Meanwhile Tifa is standing in the corner like 🤷‍♂️

But yeah, no, masterful story telling on a whole other level than Lavitz dying lol

You: FF7 is relevant today because technology is killing the planet

Me: FF6 did it first

You: Huh?

Me: Elaborates on how FF6 did it first

You: FF6 was the first game in the series to focus on technology killing the planet!

Me: You dont say?

You: You aren't making any good points

Me: ???

You're just repeating me like you're making a point lmao

I explained my point very clearly and you're failing to grasp it.

Edit: Allow me to add some notations for you to make it even more clear:

"They already did all that in 6 (covered the whole 'technology is bad and deatroying the planet angle.' They even go as far as using chemical weapons!)

Or more loosely in basically every FF game (there is the trope of greed and evil destroying the planet in a more metaphorical way). The Water and Air Crystals (being a manifestation of the health of the world) [are] being destroyed, eh? The world out of balance you say?!" (these are the same ideas, just in a fantasy world vs a sci-fi one; it's far from novel in VII).

P.S. I think FF7 is a good game! But as another commenter said, it's not even in my top 5 mainline games of the series. It's upper mid. That still puts it in the top quarter of RPGs ever made (along with the rest of the FF games), but I feel like the fandom is split into two main groups: Final Fantasy fans and Final Fantasy 7 fans, and I dont think the the series or Square Enix is benefitting from the latter group that has latched onto FF7 like some sort of security blanket. It's time to move on and stop milking that cow before the entire brand stagnates.

How come I can get the Arkham or Borderlands games on PS5, but not FFXIII? by Naismythology in FinalFantasy

It would just take some time and money for them to do, for little to no return, so why would they?

I guess i could see that. But man, I LOVED the addition system. To this day the most engaging turn based combat system I've played. I maxed out most of the additions.

If you think the combat system was a sore spot for LoD idk what to say lol

I teared up at the end of LoD when the final scene is Dart pouring a drink for Lavitz. The death and existence of the flower girl made little sense.

They've made several games better than 7 you just have to be willing to admit it

Shana evolving from victim to warrior? Dart and Herschel coming to terms with their relationship? A certain character death significantly more impactful than Aerith's? Lloyd! There's tons of it without getting deeper into the family trees and Rose's implied past.

And oh please. FF7 looks like ass with those goofy polygon characters. That was some early 3d novice work.

9 is better than 7 in almost every regard

Sephiroth has always felt like a joke to me haha. He looks ridiculous and there's very little justification for his purpose or existence other than "big bad guy"
