The problem with FF7 fans is that they want more of a game that is already by Eurotrash 09/16/2011, 1:21am PDT self-contained and complete. Here in europe, pre-Playstation video game consoles were a niche market, regarded as toys for children, and I shared that view, being purely a PC gamer. Then the Playstation arrived and people went nuts. There were dudes raving about FF7 on the radio. This was about the time I started making my own money for realz, so I decided to get a PSX and see what the big deal was with all that shit. I popped it in, and was blown flat on my ass. For someone who hadn't played the older FF games or any JRPG for that matter, FF7 was, at the time, an unrivaled, mindblowing experience. I used to play pen&paper D&D since my early teens, and always found the western computer RPGs to be sad excuses for proper roleplay where the imagination is the limit, and the characters are much more than just stats. FF7 had characters that were mcuh more real than anything I had played before, and an epic, engaging plot. When FF8 came out, it created the bitterly enraged FF7 fans. They foolishly expected more of the same, instead they got shit. People that were spoiled by FF7, which kicks off with the main characters thrown into a terrorist mission and crazy shit happening, now got an unlikable kid sitting in school with the other unlikable schoolkid characters, and a card game. Oh how exciting. WTF Square? The rest is history. The FF7 game doesn't hold up well today, but neither does it need a remake, the Advent Children movie is proof of that. The movie was visually well made, indeed, but an unwatchable piece of shit no less. I, for one, liked the Spirits Within movie a lot. Yes, it was rather americanized, but maybe that was for the best. The sooner FF7 fans accept the original as a fond memory rather than an ongoing franchise, the better.
