Completely Unrelated / What Makes Final Fantasy Great?
« on: 2008-03-15 00:05:22 »
Don't know how many people are still wandering around these forums, but if you stop by please, give some insight.
This was inspired for a couple of reasons: One because I read the "games like final fantasy" topic and found so few good games like Final Fantasy [insert # here], and two because I'm toying with Java3D and a game like FFVII with so few 3d environments would be an easy(ish) opening project.
Anyway my question is: what makes FF (specifically FFVII) so great? (Yes, I have some ideas, but I'd like opinions) Is it the storyline? The fighting-system? The world? The characters? Certainly not the graphics... (though at the time the FMV's were outstanding)
Why are so many of us pulling it back out (or continuing to keep it out) after a decade?
