[quote=John McClane]Yeah, it's actually only the first 1/4 of the game.

And yes, going backwards from 8 to 7 is jarring, but going from 7 to 8 was "HOLY ******* ****"[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]The only issue with FF7 was the character graphics coming out of FF8, first. I had a hard time relating to the short, squatty characters in 7 by that point and it really turned me off =*(

A lot of friends loved that game though. I was excited to try the recent remake, but when I learned it was only like half the game I just couldn't pull the trigger. Unless I was mistaken?[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]And yeah, as good as the PS2 is the Genesis really was and is still my favorite console. Those 16-bit sprites. Refreshing!

[quote=John McClane]I mean, Insomniac Games went from making a kiddie game about a purple dragon to a FPS about an alternate WW2 timeline. How many studios can say "we built the foundation and the house sitting on it"?[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]The materia system was the greatest system ever created. But the best game on PS1 was either [i]Medieval[/i] or [i]Spyro[/i]. You know this and I know this so why the hate for FF7? What it ever do to you, dd?! :p[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]Oh. And Moonwalker. Duh.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]Genesis, though, for my top console. That system design was so sleek, black, and curvy. The controller was PERFECT. Like a cool, crisp Laser Tag gun in hand, and not that crap knock-off Photon mess. OMG the first time I played Last Battle, with the characters 1/3 of the screen.... I could SQUASH that lil Mario bug without thinking. soooooooo coooooool. I pretended I was Van Damme in Cyborg!!!! That music was so badass.

[quote=ynwtf]NES was the system all the kids flocked to the only family's house that could afford one. Sega Genesis IS my youth. I still play Phantasy Star II and Last Battle. And Shinobi II. And Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

PS1 was a game changer (*cough*). Final Fantasy XIII was my intro. Sorry, but never could go back to restart with FF7 after that. That and Soul Reaver were my games. I never picked up the PS2 as I had no time and figured I was just outgrowing games, then MWII on the PS3 changed that right up. I've been stuck in the PSN ever since.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Enough with the FF VII already! We get it. One game does not a system make 🤓[/font][/quote]

[quote=Sedai]SNES and PS2 easy for me. PS2 was clearly the golden age of gaming king, so must agree it is probably the easy winner here.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I honestly don't see that console ever getting dethroned from it's position as best-selling console.[/quote]
