I have to admit that I didn’t except my topic to create any real arguments, but I am still doing the evil fingers of contemplation triangle right now.
LF, you should have known that dissing FF7 would piss someone off. It is one of my all time favourite games, and my favourite FF game (I have only played FF7, FF9, FFX and FFX2, and a little of FF12 ) but I still consider the game to be slightly flawed, I was never a big fan of the story, this is of course considered blasphemy, but I have always thought that it was inconsistent (not all of it though)
Though my topic was overly sarcastic, I do feel that I have pointed out one valid point. There are many people out there who will buy a game for a certain system, despite it being a mediocre/crappy game. Here in Norway many bought every single game for the Wii, simply because it was on the Wii, I have talked to several, and they have admitted to not liking them, but they bought them because it was on the Wii.
That being said, FF7 and TP are great games, but no piece of art is without flaws, sometimes it is those flaws that make them perfect.
