if it sucked so much, why was it voted as one of the greatest games in America at one point?

You could have cited that it was actually voted the Best.Game.Ever. by GameFAQs at one point (maybe multiple times, don't remember). Not that I agree with them.

And Sephiroth killed people due to his beleif that he was an Acnient and the civilization of the planet were the ones who killed off the others.

Aeris WAS an Ancient, so in my opinion the killing was pretty random...not to mention HILARIOUS!

Actually I loved it the first time I played it. But that was when I was 12, and it was my 5th RPG ever (to put it in perspective, the first 4 were Pokemon Blue, Paper Mario, Pokemon Silver, and Chrono Cross, all games that I hate now and loved at the time) so I had nothing to compare it with.

I played it up to the huge materia mission in rocket town a few months ago and I found it to be almost as whiny and pretentious as Xenosaga. The only thing I could attribute this to is the fact that I've played vastly superior RPGs (FFT, CT) and all the other Final Fantasies from 4 up to X-2 (also XII for about 5 hours of struggling) and despite them being mostly worse than 7, I noticed that they seem to have the same sort of fetish for hitler-archetype pretty boys who like to kill millions of people for no reason. Examples:

Spoilers, so don't read if you don't want to ruin the storyline of a mediocre game.

IV: Zemus, ancient ugly wizard dude who hates humans because...? I still have respect for the game since Cecil is a badass and Zeromus isn't effeminate.

V: X-Death, ugly tree thing made of corpses, demons, and naked chicks, that wants to destroy the universe for absolutely no reason. Still, he looks like a badass.

VI: Kefka, the fruitiest FF character ever, yet he destroyed the world, and looks awesome doing it. Somehow, he's one of the most badass video game characters ever.

VIII: To be honest I lost interest once I found out it's another FFIV plot.
'
IX: I haven't played it in years, but I remember Kuja being an effeminate loser, the storyline being another cliched FF7-esque plot conveniently augmented by amnesia, and you fight a frickin' planet, which is always awesome.

X: Copy and paste story of VII and IX and replace Sephiroth and Cloud with Seymour and Tidus.

X-2: No comment.

XII: Downloaded the Japanese version. Didn't bother to try to understand it (I'll get it when it comes out here) but it's actually fun to play and the soundtrack rocks. The hero still looks like a chick, I couldn't tell him from his girlfriend if it weren't for the breasts.

Please excuse my excessive use of the word badass.

heh, best not to start an arguement with kuttlas.... he will win....

So why don't you each stick to your own opinions.

This forum isn't a place for arguements and I don't want it to be one. If I wanted to argue with someone I'd go to GameFAQs or IGN (go check out the Wii/PS3 boards at IGN for a good laugh) and get called a noob by a 13-year old fanboy. We've been lucky to get very few of them, and those who do show up get the ban hammer.

I think we're all mature enough here to handle an intelligent discussion without insulting each other.
