I think Final Fantasy Crisis Core was awesome.

Crisis Core's story was god-awful. The ending was brilliant - one of the best ones I've seen - but as a whole, the story was just a complete mess. They make several awkward jumps in time, leave plenty of things unexplained(and not in a good, mysterious way), and the villains' motives are some of the worst I've seen.

Advent Children was way to conviluded to enjoy. The game was alright, I don't really have any nostalgia for it. FFIX is my favorite.

@DarkSeraphim: Yeah. I loved the sequence with everyone fighting against Bahamut. I thought that was great, but honestly, that was probably the only part of the movie I loved. It's a bummer too, 'cause I have some fond memories of the game. I wanna go play it now.

Me too. :) I heard that they were making FF7 for PS3. O_o

I've got a lot a criticisms about FFVII as a whole, but the story was one of the things I liked (although I think there are other games in the series that do it better). It had interesting characters that you could relate to and really care for...well, most of them. Some (like Cloud and Cid) kinda made me cringe.

Advent Children, though, ruined it for me. The movie was horrible! Any respect I had for VII as a game went down the toilet as soon as I realized Advent Children took what was good about VII and turned it into complete, pretty, but horrible insubstantial fanservice (this happened about halfway through Tifa's fight)!

Crisis Core was a better story, probably because being an actual game didn't limit it to the crappy hour-thirty time frame, but the characters were completely unlikeable! I think the only thing that got me through was where it was actually going. It may be the one instance where the characters are shit, but don't bring the story as a whole down...although I thought the actual gameplay was pretty bad, also.

On its own, I don't think that FFVII is that special, but I did gain a greater appreciation for it when the FFVII prequels and sequels came out, giving more character to the characters. Advent Children was over the top, but Crisis Core was fun, and I'm probably one of the five people on the planet that actually liked Dirge of Cerberus.

@Hailinel: Oh, man, I forgot about Dirge! Yeah, I actually liked the story in that one, too, and the gameplay was rough, but not horrible, so it's cool. Really liked how it tied everything together with Vincent the way it did.

7 & 9 are probably my favorite. I truly loved the characters and nine and the storyline was great. Too bad my save file got messed up 75% through the game. :(

I loved FFVII, and Crisis Core was pretty great too. I was really hyped for Advent Children, so I brought the DVD assuming awsomeness, but then all I got was average to poor voice acting and a plot that was dumb and badly told, with new characters that were incredibly uninteresting and old characters that were portrayed with a modicum of the personality that made them so interesting in the game. So yeah, not a fan of that.

The story in all FFVII related stuff is laughably horrible.

I loved Final Fantasy VII, but I'm not a fan of the whoring of the name that's gone on since. Advent Children was horrible, and I've yet to play Crisis Core, but I just feel they don't need to exist. Final Fantasy VII's ending worked really well as it was, explaining everything with these sequels, prequels and side games is just unncessary. I also really dislike how much they're already milking XIII before it's even released.. but that's another topic.

I thought the voice acting and dialogue in Crisis Core were pretty wacky at times. Strangely enough it was the gameplay and music that kept me playing.

As for FFVII itself..playing through it last month, i didn't really see what everyone else saw in that game (and i played it back when it was released as well so even with nostalgia glasses on..)

and i feel I'm in the minority when is say FF tactics, FFXII and FFII are the best in the series.
