Don't try the psychological game on me, it won't work.
I'll stop when you stop.
What I said was that the atmosphere in FF7 is gothic.
Really? Let's see...
Just look at the slums in midgard
Not what I'd call gothic. More like dystopian.
or the jenova creature without a head. Or the mountains outside clouds hometown.
Pretty standard fantasy stuff. Not necessarily gothic.
And the use of colours in the backgrounds. Green, gray gray gray, black...maybe some purple. Neon lights...very dark, and the music is very depressing as well. The only exception would be gold saucer and chocobo farm.
Never been to the Wall Market?
It seems that you're looking for anything that supports your argument and ignoring anything that doesn't. Let's see what the Costa del Sol looks like...
Surfing and suntan, eh? Goths love things like that!
Actually, hardly any of the towns on the second continent have dark colouring. Nor the places on the Northern continent. Nor Wutai. In fact, the only
really dark places are Midgar and the Shinra Mansion, and the former is dark in a dystopian/cyber punk way rather than a gothic way.
Also look at Sephiroth...
Yeah, I can see why his look might appeal to goths. But wait a minute, weren't you saying FF7 appealed to emos? Goth and emo aren't the same thing
Final Fantasy 8, 9, 10 has nothing like that in them. That is why they aren't as popular...because the main audience are emo/manga japanese obessed teens...they love FF7, because they can relate to the time the cool characters and the mood in the game. It's harder for a emo to relate to Final Fantasy IX and X because the main characters and the atmorsphere isn't as dark as Final Fantasy VII.
So, this has gone from being emo to being dark, hmmmm? It seems that you are flip-flopping around quite a lot
Two things:
#1 Since when did Japanese audiences and Weeaboos go in for dark things more than Western audiences? Japanese media aimed at teenagers tends to be much more bright and colourful than Western media aimed at teenagers. There's this anime that I like. I think you should watch it. It's called "Lucky Star".
#2 The FF8 argument again. Everything connected with the Sorceresses is gothic. Look at Edea. Is there anyone more goth than her? Look at Ultimicia's castle. It's the most gothic place in FF by quite some way. And as long as we're picking examples of things that are convenient and ignoring evidence to the contrary, I'd say that there are quite a few things in FF9 that appeal to those who like everything "dark". Pandemonium? Half of Memoria? Evil mist? Black Waltzes flying around everywhere?
Two villains that wear black, one of whom is always going on about the transience of life and feeling sorry for himself? Kuja is one hell of an emo! He cuts himself whilst
listening to Linkin Park! See what I did there? I cherry picked parts of those games that made them look like goths might like them.
Also the only thing that is emo in Final Fantasy 8 is Squall, and that is the only thing.
Yeah, only the main character. The one you're following around all the time. And whose thoughts you always hear. He isn't important at all!
Lol, Kudistos..give up you can't win this...
ROFLCOCKS!
Final Fantasy VII is the most popular ff game because of the main audience are manga/japanes obessed emos...
I'm beginning to suspect that I'm being trolled...
