why ff7 is better than ff8?

i played ff7,ITS AWESOME,and i played ff8,ff8 have superior tecnology,better graphics,and a good history.But i dont why i prefer ff7:is for the history,the battle system (i love materias) or because this is the 1st game created in 3d? tell me what are you favorite and the reasons.bye!!

Well, it's definitely difficult to say which one is actually superior to the other. Either one has thier respective strenghts and weaknesses. However, it's definitely for certain that FF7 is the most popular and by far the most influential.

FFVII has Cloud, Sephiroth and Tifa. Nuff said.

FFVIII has the Junction System and Squall. Nuff said there too.

Both are good FF games, but FFVII is supirior in many ways, better characters... better villians (not only sephiroth but the turks, rufus, etc, FFVIII had... Seifer and Ultimecia?). The story of FFVII was much better too, FFVIII's was too weird, i mean that thing where you have to go to the future came out of nowhere... The materias were very cool too, and the junction sistem wasnt, i mean since when is magic an item?!

So yeah FFVII is better than FFVIII, but that doesnt make FFVIII a bad game, it had outstanding graphics (for its time, just like FFVII), a complex story (not the best, but not the worst), and it had good characters.

i fail to see where you got the idea that magic was passed off as an item in FF8. the junction system IMO was far better than materia

But i got chills from VII. SwaznokDaMighty

in my OPINION, FVII was much better firstly the battle system, characters and world was more immersive

The battle style was Good-Old-TB which in my opinion is the way all RPGs should be :P

Plus the junction system was right @#&$ing gay along with the fact that i beat the game entirely upon the use of my summons in FFVIII

Story wise again its for FFVII athough i do say that minus the whole dimension warp thing and the messed up romance in the story FVIII was one of the best for story

FFVII has become mainstream because of all these traits, some reject it simply becuase of its popularity, however for most RPG gamers who can get past the fan base of this game....it is by far the best

FFVII side quests and extras like WOW so many...
