I'm wondering that everybody is speaking about FF7 having played only a
little. In my opinion, Final Fantasy VII is an excellent game. It has the
same argumental quality like the others FF games and it takes profit of the
3D capabilites of the PSX. If somebody has played to the others FF, then he
will see that FF7 is an excellent sequel.
Final Fantasy VII is the best game that can be found for PlayStation.

I'm sorry. I have not played FF5... I think, perhaps is some version of a FF
that I have played... I have played FF1 on MSX, FF2 and FF3 on SNES. In my
opinion, the best of all is FF3.
Probably FF7 isn't a CRPG (!!), but Dragon Slayer VI isn't CRPG and it is an
excellent game.
On the other hand, the CRPG feature can be a bad thing, because it can break
a good argumental line. Look, for example, those european games, like the
D&D series, where you can create your character. Due to this, the story line
can't be as good as in a game where some points are established from the
beginning.

Well. But this is a feature of a lot of MSX games also. Look DS6, look FF1,
for example. And this puts more realism on the game. That is, imagine that
you are the adventurer, you don't see all the monsters who attack you.

Respect to this, 3D is the future, of course. But not now. When 3D reaches
his "perfect" state, a 2D game can be done as a "particular" case of a 3D
environment.
The problem is that the actual 3D games aren't fun, they only shows how good
is his 3D engine.
Well, conclusions of this:
* CRPG can be a bad quality, because it can break the story line. This is
the diference between RPG (D&D series, for example) and ADVENTURE GAME
(Final Fantasy). Personally, I prefer adventure game.
* What is the problem about don't see the enemies on the map? I think that
it is good, and the FF7 fighting mode is the best fighting mode that I have
ever seen, for the spectacularity and also for the playability.
* And, respect to the music, I agree your words... it has a few good themes,
it is true.
