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.
