I wouldn't say that. The gameplay of 7 was top-notch, and the amount of exploits you could pull was amazing. The mini-games at the Golden Saucer were great and you could literally spend hours playing them. The same can be said for raising Chocobos. If you kept at it, you could raise a gold one, and reach Round Island, which had one of the best extras in the game--Knights of the Round materia. The secrets were numerous and great too--like fighting Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon, getting Vincent in your party, finding all the materia, (especially the summon ones like Knights of the Round, Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, Bahamut Zero--even Typhoon, which summons that annoying sneeze monster you fight in the arena in FF6) that underwater airplane which has monsters that can all be morphed using the morph ability to transform them into stat-increasing items, getting the ultimate weapons, and reaching the final limit breaks for everyone, to name a few. And you can find and build up your materia in such a wide range of combinations--some of which make you nigh-invincible, and some of which you can use to pull neat tricks like arming yourself with a master-level Knights of the Round and using Quad Magic to cast it four times, (after using various things like items to increase your MP to 999) then having everyone use the Mime ability to mimic the action--all in your first round of combat. The possibilities are great, and while you can complete the game itself within 30 hours, if you're really "playing" it, you can keep playing for 100 hours or more.

Yeah there is nothing wrong with the gameplay of FF7, It's as solid as in other FF games.

Im not really waiting for FF XI, Im not into online RPG's. FF XII on the other hand I am waiting, and if it's half as good as FF X Im very happy. Not much info have been given out on it... I kind of wish they would do one in "cyber punk" type of world... I also wish that they will use the same type of map sxreen they used in FF X, where the world mpa is much more realistic, you can't wal around it like in almost every other RPG game.

Well, like I said, it's cool if you guys like FF7 I have no problems with anyone else liking it ^^

But when I played it, It didn't have that "feel" that a final fantasy game should have, And I Got annoyed quickly with the game. FF8 Was closer to what I like, but still didnt quite have it.

So, I guess for my Vote, I am going to be a total FF "Geek boy" and claim Part 6 as the best. 'cause to me, I haven't had so much fun playing a final fantasy game since part 6.

I to rate FF VI above VII. Story and gameplay are better. But until now the Best FF I have played is definetly X. I hope XII will be even nearly as good.

If I had to pick, FFVI and VII have the most FF "feel" to them for me. FFIX had a very good FF feel to it too. FFVIII felt very foreign, though I did like the characters, especially Squall. In terms of FFVI over VII, well, I like 7 as a game better, but I think Kefka's a more entertaining villain than Sephiroth. I probably won't try 10 for a while yet, but when I feel like picking up a PS2 when it's even cheaper, I'll probably pick up a copy of it too.
