NightandtheShape's hate for the FF-series are borderlining paranoia. Come on now, there are several games that we don't like, but hating them with a fury that would put the RPGCodex to shame is just silly.
FFVII had several "What the Hell"-moments, but all and all, it was pretty good game. Just like every other FF's that i played (FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFX). Except for FFXII, which i dislike with a passion. The story is uninvolving, the characters come of as pretentious clowns, especially Larsa, and the soundtrack is very generic for a FF-game. Add that level-grinding is a must, i couldn't even finish the thing. Point being, i know that there are several people that loved the gameplay it had, and even praised it as a game that put the FF-series in the right direction. Naturally, i disagree with them, but i wouldn't label them as emo-furries that should be exterminated either.
Same goes with Mass Effect. Most people here like it and find it as a step in the right direction, while i really don't like. But i haven't gone troll-mode on them for liking it for such a mundane reason.
