Why are these two so popular with 'that' crowd?
Are the majority of 90's kids that grew up with OoT and FF7 just weird fucks?
For a lot of people OoT and FF7 were the first games that felt like a grand immersive adventure thanks to their 3D graphics and length and shit like that really triggers some people's autism
You weren't alive during the 90s and you want to know about nerd culture from before you were born.
>>11881194 (OP)They were incredibly popular at the time. More popular == attracts more weirdos.
There's also that only turbo autists would still be obsessing over them almost 30 years later. So of the population that loved them at the time, the only ones left are the biggest weirdos.
All in all, a predictable result.
>>11881214>There's also that only turbo autists would still be obsessing over them almost 30 years later. So of the population that loved them at the time, the only ones left are the biggest weirdos.Link will always get new games and Cloud got a remake so big its multiple games.
I don't think it's fair to say it's weird people are still obsessing over them when they still get games even today.
>>11881194 (OP)People don't bring up the fact that Ocarina Link is clearly a rip off of Cloud Strife.
>>11881231Cloud is emo Goku
Link was always a rip off of Peter Pan but the OoT version came from Gundam W
>star in the best games ever
>fanboys like you a lot
This is a weird thread attacking the GameFAQs Character Battles without actually naming them....
I feel like I need to put context for younger people:
Link, Cloud, and Sephiroth won literally every single user poll they were featured in unless they faced each other, in which case it would go (in order from best to least) Sephiroth, Cloud, then Link.
>>11881194 (OP)FF7 has a geniunely interesting story and cool background graphics. The cutscenes are still amazing to watch. Zelda is just Nintendosoy.
>it's because people like them
You guys are missing the point, I don't think that crowd likes Link or Cloud at all
>>11881259Zelda games are good THOUGH.
>>11881214And it will happen again.
Link and Cloud are both attractive and heroic, hence why they attracted fujoshi.
>>11881245Lol oot link is nothing like penis pan. It's really obviously meant to be an answer to cloud.
>>11881194 (OP)Cloud the faggot was not that popular, FF7 is a RPG they weren't normie-core back in the 90's
Link is indeed popular only because OoT and MM were one of the 5 or 6 worthwhile games on the N64 so ofc everyone was familiar with him
>>11881264I would say they are innovative, but to me they are just too cutesy. FF7 at least has a really good art direction, something which Nintendo never has. Nintendo is always just wacky and childish.
>>11881327>they weren't normie-core back in the 90'sFinal Fantasy has been 'normie-core' since day 1 even outside of Japan. FF1 is like one of the most beloved NES games
>>11881337Not really, maybe nerdcore but it wasn't normie core until 7
>>11881337>>11881339it wasn't normie-core until 10
>>11881339This. FF7 is what made Final Fantasy a household name and marks the point where normies discovered RPGs. Prior to that, it was a niche within a niche; strictly basement dweller territory.
>>11881245both link and the shitney character are based on some euro folklore dude, like some gnome, elf or some shit like that
>>11881245>>11881306Link is just a fantastical wood elf. If you call him Peter Pan, you're probably too young or too infantile for this site.
>>11881369That's not really true. People already played JRPGs on the SNES. Secret of Mana was pretty populare too. Sure FF7 brought it to another level, but the SNES RPGs were already normie-core.
>>11881220Women video gamers, especially the "yumejoshis" that fantasize about being in romantic relationships with Link and Cloud.
>>11881231Sounds like bullshit. Link's design had been around for a decade at that point. OoT Link is just Link, but older. They literally traveled to Germany to find inspiration while making OoT. If you think they picked blonde hair and blue eyes to copy Cloud, then you're retarded.
>>11881245>a rip off of Peter PanThis is true.
>>11881306>nothing like penis panDo you know anything about Peter Pan, mate? This truth is self evident if you know anything about Link and Peter Pan.
