Now it's made out to be some godly game when it was merely "ok". Oh how nostalgia blinds.

If you want to play an awesome RPG, try out Knights of the Old Republic on PC or Xbox....
i cant even belive you just outed ff7 and replaced it with KOTOR, great game and all but not even in the same league as any of the Final fantasys. The best part about ff7 is its amazing and original storyline along with streamlined gameplay fun characters and a comfortable combat system its got everything a rpg fan could want

now to look at KOTOR 1 (not even gonna be talking about KOTOR 2...BIG let down) mediocre storyline with the least suprising twist ever, patchy gameplay,and several usless characters, only real reason it got game of the year was that it was a new take on an old favorite and the quite innovative and original combat sysytem

and to give you perspective in the first week after being realesed in the states it sold over 500,000 copies in a place where turn-based rpgs and rpgs in general couldnt be found it opened up platform gamers to rpgs and has probably been one of the most influential games in history
