Does anyone else find FFVII hard to get into? Maybe its because my first FF was FFX, and the transition from voice acting to having to read everything makes all the final fantasy's before FFX incedibly boring.

p.s.-The story in FFVII wasn't even that great>

ffvii is my favourite game, ever, speccially vecause of the story, not only because it's interestingm but because it's well explained and interestingly developed. it's a shame i ant play neither before crisis or crisis core, and dirge of cerberus is way to crappy, cuz i really wanted do know those parts of the story

FF7 has sucked and lost all meaning since the first time I played it, overrated and all. Of all the stories FF12 was the best.

You had to play it when it was first released to understand why this game had such a big impact and why so many FF fans consider this to be the best FF game to date.

Different strokes for different folks.  I loved VII back when it came out.  It's still one of my all time favorite games. 

I can see how one could like the flash that the voices add but at the same time, I find having to read, makes the game more immersing.  Looking back at all the greatest RPG's (even some recent ones)... You had to read.  So in that respect, was VII boring or was it just tedious to you?

No way, FF7 is still my favorite game, and I still think it's the best FF to date, personally I think that all the FFs after 8 have sucked...or at least they have been really disapointing....

All RPG's bore me now--I gave up on FFVII over winter break--transitioned into a pleasant Okami experience.

I think maybe that u just got spoiled by FFX graphics. I dont think its fair to compare FFVII after u have played FFX first. Most people who have played FFVI first would agree that its better than both FFVII or X because those people knows the value of a game base on the time it was release.

I would have given you some merit for your opposing view on FF 7 but I can see your an KH fan, so what do you really know?

And do we need a billion more topics like this?

It's understandable I suppose, since you said you played FFX first. You have your opinion about the story, though you can't dis the fact that if Final Fantasy VII is the most popular FF game of the fans, the story must of been good. I really liked it, probably my favorite story of all FF games so far. I always tend to play FFVII over again every 6-12 months, I only get bored when I'm about the finish the game.

What does me being a KH fan have to do with anything? Just because I enjoyed KH doesn't mean I know nothing about playing regular rpg's such the ones found in the Final Fantasy series.

The story in FFVII wasn't that great until (spoilers) you have a dream and in that dream you will know everything about your past.And many fans consider that moment was the best in FFVII and FF universe.

ff 7 was good when it came out. of course its kinda dull now cuz its been so many years but it is held as a classic like 6.

ff 6 > ff7 > ffx > ff12 > ff 8 > ff9 > fftactics> ff 11 > ff 1 2 3 4 5

but play in this order to enjoy the series at its full potential and to be able to appreciate it.

ff6, ff7, fftactics, ff8, ff9, ff10, ff12, 11 and 1-5 are optional

You've got to be in the right headspace for it. I go through times where I can't play FF, or Elder Scrolls, or Neverwinter Nights, or Forum-based RP sites. Must have taken me six months on and off playing to finish FF7. Never finished FF8 (couldn't be bothered with the final battle, then my third disc got scratched after I'd lost my one Disc 4 save.), or FF9 (similar place I left it). FFX was a bit like 7, and X-2 was... different, to say the least. KH1 and 2 were okay I guess, as was Morrowind, Oblivion, and NWN. Same with (less RPGish but still roleplaying and a video game) GTA. It's more similar to an Oblivion than you think... The beauty of all of them is you can pick them up from anywhere fairly quickly, and do stuff.

I didn't think the game is boring when I first played it back in 1998. It was, however, poor against Grandia when it come out before 1998.

Okay, since I'm getting so much flack for not liking this game, I will go out right after I'm finished writing this message, borrow FVII from my cousin, play it, and attempt to like AGAIN. I know I said before that I couldn't get into this game because of the lack of voice acting, but I played FFVI, FF Tactics Advance, and FFIII DS and enjoyed them very much. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that its not because of the lack of voice acting that made me not like it that I said before, but the battle system and story that was the problem to me.

P.S.-And just because I didn't like FFVII doesn't mean that RPG's aren't my thing. I love them with a passion. Besides Guitar Hero and a few other select fighting games (SSBM, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Soul Calibur, etc.), RPG's are basically all that I play.

P.S.S.- Any suggestions about increasing my chances of liking FFVII, would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!Thank you.

It's not a big deal if you don't like the game. Back then, it was one of the best games I played, and my main reason for getting a playstation. It was also one of the first RPG's I ever played, so it had a pretty large impact on me regarding the genre.

Playing the game now, you may not see what was so great about the game, which is understandable. If it's boring to you, then don't play it.

How far have you gotten, by the way? Most games always start out a little slow for me, so maybe you should give it another chance, but don't feel like you have to because of the way some people responded.

Personally, I think the better stuff has yet to come, and if you continue playing you might think so as well. However, if the gameplay is boring to you (I think it's gotten pretty stale), and you don't care about the story, then don't force yourself to play it.

I started the series at VII and loved it to death. One of the best games I ever played.. I enjoyed VIII as a step forward visually from better cutscenes to bigger characters but story lacked from VII as did the bosses and NPCs. I skipped IX because I thought it was a step back with cartoony characters like the ones in the early series. I jumped on X and thought it was average, didn't really care and almost felt I was forcing myself further to just finsh, grid idea was cool though.. X2 was dull and the fact I only had 3 chicks who can do it all while unique I thought was a bad idea. At this point I was thinking maybe I grew out of JRPGs. I skipped XI because I don't play MMOs. I just got XII so I can't comment too much yet..

FF 10 is the boring one.  I gave it a 6.8 :D  I got a nifty 1 out of 9 users recommended this review after I wrote it. 

Anyone who likes FF10 over 6 and 7 are just graphic whores.  The depth and storyline in 6 and 7 are superior.  You can explore the world rather than following a simple path.  The battle systems are better in 6 and 7.  The characters are more interesting. 

I got sick of the tropical setting in 10.  The characters put me to sleep.  It's just an overhyped RPG with outstanding graphics.

Actually, I like X over VI, but VII is the best game ever. And in no way boring, I mean, it starts off right with the action, how can you be bored about that

FFVII was the best. Starts off rocking and rocking. I had never seen so many censored swear words come out of one characters mouth. All the characters in 7 were awesome and had there own stories to tell, yuffie even had her own island for a story aswell.

FFX was a good game aswell. I kinda hoped the final boss was gonna be a bad ass villain like sephiroth but nah... didn't end up being so. One of my favourites by far but I still regard as 7 having the better story line.

I'm currently playing 12 now and the characters just aren't doing it for me. The stories alright but i don't feel drawn to it like 7's or even 10's.

Does anyone else find FFVII hard to get into? Maybe its because my first FF was FFX, and the transition from voice acting to having to read everything makes all the final fantasy's before FFX incedibly boring.

p.s.-The story in FFVII wasn't even that great>

KH-mixerX
I prefer a RPG I have to read over an RPG that I have to wade through some bad voice acting. I'm not saying that all games have bad voice acting. Dragon Quest VIII had great voice acting while Final Fantasy X had very forgettable voice acting. I would rather read what they say than hear it most of the time.
