the only thing X trumps VII on is graphics. i mean seriously, everyones expecting you to singlehandedly save the world and you have to walk from one side of the continent to the other? at least in 7 you get multiple modes of transportation throughout the game (and no one except for the people in your party EXPECT or are even ASKING you to save the world). in ten its "ok i walk here then here then here then here then here" ad nauseaum. don't get me wrong, X was fun, just not nearly as fun as 7.

Loved FFX, but FFVII made more of an impact on me. From the music to the characters to the memories, everything about the game stirs an emotion in me of the good times playing the game.

Because FFX came later and on a stronger console I don't think comparing graphics is fair. However I do think FFX has a better summoning system although it doesn't have better summons than VII. FFVII beats it in materia, limit breaks, better secret bosses and an all around better experience in my opinion. The first time I played FFVII was after playing FFX and I still think its a better game. FFX is still good and better than FFXII but it can't beat FFVII in my opinion.

Final Fantasy VII, no doubt about it. Final Fantasy X just revamped Final Fantasy VII (as did VIII and IX), but Final Fantasy VII was really totally innovative when it came out. Not only was VII revamped from VI, it was overhauled. Final Fantasy VII was just much more innovative and new, whereas Final Fantasy X (while an excellent game in its own right) wasn't so innovative or new as it was just revamped.

you know if you press select in ff7 it shows you where to go right?

it shows doors and ladders but not where to go. Like on the world map.

FFX - story was lame, and predictable, but i admit that the gameplay was highly addictive.

FFVII - Story was innovative and unique (in its time) the gameplay was also addictive....including its supperfun sidequests.

I prefer FFVII, because it had the best story of all FF's imo. Also, the characters, materia system, and Weapons were a great plus.

FFX was good too, just not as good as FFVII

FFX is my favorite FF game. The battle system itself makes it better than any of the previous Final Fantasy games. It's more strategic - you can swap characters in and out of battle, you can actually plan your battles i.e. summoning aeons will delay a character's attack, etc. The characters have more depth and felt more human/realistic.

Except for the music FFVII is archaic. The battle system is crap; it was random, button mashy, kind of like a game of musical chairs of sorts. The story is probably the most convoluted story of any FF game.

FFX is the overall better game. FFVII was great for its time but has not held up well at all. FFX is still very much playable today where FFVII is not, that's why fans want a remake so badly.

The first time I played FFVII was after FFX was already classified Greatest Hits and I still prefer FFVII :|

But most people don't like playing games without current or recent graphics so I guess you're partially right...

Very close call. I said FFX, mainly because that was the game that got me into gaming, and while FFVII had 2-3 of the greatest characters of all time, all of FFX's characters were great, especially Tidus and Auron.

I voted for FFVII and are you sure FFX story was lame? :D

The antagonists in the storyline were shown on a silver platter, making the plots completely predictable.....and finally Yuna and Tidus had zero chemistry, their so called feelings was almost jumping from "A" to "D" without building a strong friendship with "B" and "C".

FFVII. Story was so deep and addicting. I loved the characters and materia. FFX wasn't bad but I didn't really like Tidus all that much and the story wasn't as great as 7's. I think im gonna go play FFVII now actually.

FFX its linear exploration was a major step back in the series. You cant get lost in that game even if you tryed they might aswell have made its exploration 2D valkyrie style and you would not have missed a thing.

Well mostly what I was talking about is the awful controls when in the field. No analog support.

I agree FFX was terrible, blitzball was WAY too easy, the story wasn't great, sphere system not bad but worse than other FFs.

Even FFX-2 is better than FFX.

I vote FFX. What I liked about X was the strategy, and how it was so much more difficult to beat a boss. FFVii had the same type of gameplay in almost every ff game, with bosses that turned easy due to leveling up. Same can be said with X, but alot of battles like Seymour III, you had to pay attention to detail not only in battle, but the way things were configured on screen. Also, the environments were outstanding. The voice acting made the game come to life, and was the first rpg with voice acting (that i know of). The music really set the mood well, as did FFVII, but the music fit the environment really well, and with an easy transition for each city (thanks to no overworld map scheme) it was very fitting. But i will say about vii's music, is even though i knew one winged angel was coming, i still shat bricks.

Story FFVII>>>>>FFX

Gameplay FFX>FFVII

Overall I say FFVII is the better game but FFX is closer to my heart because it was the first one I played.

VII - materia weapons characters and story were better than 10 in my opinion 10 was still good I just didn't like the sphere grid or the characters overly much.

the only thing X trumps VII on is graphics. i mean seriously, everyones expecting you to singlehandedly save the world and you have to walk from one side of the continent to the other? at least in 7 you get multiple modes of transportation throughout the game (and no one except for the people in your party EXPECT or are even ASKING you to save the world). in ten its "ok i walk here then here then here then here then here" ad nauseaum. don't get me wrong, X was fun, just not nearly as fun as 7.

I'm probably the only Final Fantasy fan that really can't stand X. So my vote goes to VII by default.

I chose X, because for whatever reason (likely raised expectations from game like X and KOTOR) I can no longer replay VII, I would rather leave it alone in my mind's nostalgia department.

VII was great and I'll never forget it, I even called into work the day after I bought it, but it's over now.

FFVII and FFX are really hard to compare because they both changed up the RPG scene on their respective consoles. And if we are going to play that game, why not have a FFVI vs. FFVII vs. FFX so we can get some SNES nostalgia up in here as well.

I enjoyed both 7 and 10 a lot, but I'm so tired of hearing about how 7 was so amazing compared to every other game when it really wasn't. I mean, yeah I played the game start to finish at least 4 times, I won't deny I really loved playing it, but then I fell out of love. 10 is probably my favorite overall because it was more fun, and that's really the deciding factor when I'm playing games.

Edit: I also only played 10 once, I did everything humanly possible in 10 and then I put it away for good. That might also be why I am more fond of it, I didn't sit and relive it until I couldn't stand it anymore.
