Also, if you haven't gone through the dreams of Shadow, you would also think that he was underdeveloped. Am I right? So, it's just how you look at it. Personally, I don't see what they could've given Vincent as extra background that you couldn't think of yourself...

[Sasquatch]

It's just a difference of opinion, then. To me, there was plenty to Shadow that you didn't have to see his dreams to figure out. Even without the dreams, he was more developed than Vincent -- not much, but still more. And it might have been intentional -- or like you said, it might have been made to seem like it was intentional, but Vincent just didn't have much... I don't see what more you could have gotten, other than what they explained, which wasn't much. If you make up your own background for characters, what's the point?

EDIT: Rather, Shadow may not have had a lot of backstory without the dreams (still more than Vincent, I'd say), but he is explained quite well. His struggle to find himself, deal with the pains in his past, and learn to appreciate those who appreciate him.

That IS true, but it's something everyone recognises in himself as well. We all have are tides turned at SOME point in our lives. Also, we're not creating backgrounds, the backgrounds are there, we're just filling holes. It gives us more interaction with the game. ALL characters have backgrounds, in exception of maybe some NPC's or something. But permanent playable characters must have backgrounds.

There still isn't much more of Vincent you SHOULD know btw. He had a tragic time. That's it. He's sick of everything, but sees he should travel along so justice can be served. Now doesn't that sound like a standard optional character plot to you?

I pretty much feel like letting the whole thing go at this point, and not poking at little things that don't really matter, as the whole "agree to disagree" idea has shown itself fairly strongly at this point, and no one's insulting me anymore, or saying anything I feel is more than a little bit foolish... but... *poke poke pokes anyway*

Maybe you didn't mean it this way, but...

This makes it sound to me that you were counting Shadow amongst the optional characters in the game. So, if Shadow were at that level of importance of a character-the same level as Vincent-It would lead me to believe that the FF6 optional character has more background to him than the FF7 optional character. Technicalitied!!

Although you could definitely argue that Vincent has more story than Umaro, Mog, and GoGo do, most likely. I just wanted to be a dick again and point that out to you. Okay, I'm officially done. Anything else that you say, I will give credit as having merit, and probably accurate.

...unless you say something really silly. Then I might have to correct you again (just kidding.)

While FF6 was great, FF7 was just better. It is the ONLY FF where you can breed you very own chocobo and train it. FF7 also has the best summon of any FF game.

I personally liked Final Fantasy VII also. I really didn't like FF VI that much. I never really got that into it. Maybe someday I'll actually finish FF VI and like it more, but right now I like FF VII. Final Fantasy VII was a good game.

[Novacrash]

...thats exactly what I was gunna type Squall >_<''

But yeh, I never could get into FFVI, FFVII was just overall more enjoyable, from the beginning.

Edit: I know your not here much anymore sasquatch, but, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_F...nal_Soundtrack

TAKE IT.

(I know theres a few AC ones, but theres original FF7 CDs too.)

[Takishi]

FF7 is better because it had a good storyline to it and good boss battles. Also I liked playing the mini-games a lot and begging to see which chocobo would win. I really do miss playing this game.

FFVII has much more interesting challenges. Any yeah, FFVII doesn't have a lot of good bosses. But for that matter, neither does FFVI. Maybe a bit more than FFVII, but not much.

The World of Ruin might be different and difficult, but, what is there to do? All you have is the Coliseum...FFVII has Golden Saucer!!

So, touché!!

I think FFVI is way better. Final fantasy vii may be fun but the graphics...not so fun. Vi had the best graphics for snes. More chachters and it was harder. Final fantasy 7 had limit breaks, which made it easier so theres your challage, beat the final boss with one chachter.

ok i am not going to poll a vote because i loved both for the same reasons and alot of different reasons.

here are a few of them

Same reasons

great story
killer villians
great crew of chars to play with
chars very well developed
graphics where revolutionary for their time

differences

dedicated lead for 7 there wasnt one in 6
6 side quests where mainly for finding extra chars
7 sidequest where side quest and they where alot of fun
7s slot/materia system
6 epser magic growth system
7s jacked up story line
6s over all story line

[Hubhej]

I would choose Final Fantasy VI. The reason: I like it better since I´ve played FFVII. FFVII was fun, but a bit overrated. FFVI is more classic and interesting (but that´s my opinion).

Simply since FF7 had less characters, it will tend to make the storyline of them slightly stronger, but FF6 definately had a wider varity of background. It really showed how people of all backgrounds with enough strength to face Kefka stepped up and fought evil. You can't tell me that only 8 (if i counted right) had enough to fight back, especially one that was a robotic doll, an insult to all living characters in both games. face it, FF6 was just better.
