Not a big fan of the new sci fi punk emo stuff, but I did enjoy FF8 alot. It was original, unusual and unique. On the other hand, what does FF7 have that's stands out? Does it have villains and plot as grand and ominous as in FF6? Does it have original and complex battle system? Are the towns, places and characters memorable? Are locations and continents diverse or are they all similar? Or is it just another traditional type "called to save the world" FF in 3d in a futuristic steam punk setting?
