yeah, coming behind and playing these classics after getting imprinted with their reputation must suck because expectations get so inflated by fanboy enthusiasm.
but hey, not having a contrarian reaction to the hype, like op, is already pretty damn impressive. well done.
Played it recently. Its horribly ugly thanks to the shitty 3d artstyle and janky pre rendered backgrounds. Games like Grandia and breath of Fire aged alot better. They went for a realistic style of graphics and it adds battle loading times and feels very dated. I played Dragon Quest 8 and it felt so good to play because they went with a great art style and simple combat system. When youre staring at a game for 60 hours and its ugly it feels like a chore
>>12163034 >says FF7 is a shit game with shit graphics >gives DQ8 as an example of a better game
bruh, you simply have shit taste. and that's ok, not everyone has good taste. just be aware that you have an affinity for bland slop.

Yeah its good. The story and characters and something about the settings. It all adds up to a memorable lasting experience. I love that you end up on a boat or have to sneak into that yakuza boss house etc. It really captures a feeling of going on an adventure with your friends while creating memorable fun mythology.
