I never had much problem with the gameplay, but found the story just meandered on.
I got bored with it at the disc change, (un)happily coinciding with the whole stupid plot point. (Which, while stupid, I have far less problems with than most of the people who dislike the game)

I just found the pacing to be really annoying.

Honestly, the game has a lot of pretty solid ideas but it executes all of them in the worst way possible.

ALSO: Squall's an annoying shit.
If Square ever released a game in the 90s, it was going to be half-assed.

(FF7 -> Aeris, Xenogears -> Disc 3 & 4...)

And Xenogears is still miles better than FF8... or most other games from the time.
 
What was half assed about Aeris?

Also, Xenogears and Chrono Cross got the shit treatment because their budgets were slashed all to hell and redirected into FF8.

Chrono Trigger and FF6 seem pretty full assed. FFT as well....

So does FF7 really, what was half assed about Aeris?

Her resurrection. No, I'm not a Square nut, but I have to acknowledge that 7 is an incomplete game.

CT was a LOT more complete than the disc based games.

Krylo 06-14-2011 12:53 PM
But the shitty localization only added to the charm.
 
FFT had pretty shitty localization, to be fair.

Edit@Jagos: Deciding to cut a plot point, perhaps at a very early point of development =/= half-assed or even incomplete. And there's no actual proof that she was ever supposed to resurrect.

Why would she be resurrected? That seems pretty stupid.

Jagos 06-14-2011 12:54 PM
You SPOONY BARD!

Why would Aeris be resurrected? Why?

Krylo 06-14-2011 12:58 PM
Yeah, except none of that is actual empirical evidence at all. The 'theory' has been around as long as the game has been out, and basically comes down to a bunch of people not liking that she died and grasping at straws.
