It's not better and it isn't the worst either in terms of an SF gameplay. lol FF7 didn't revolutionize the JRPG scene and it was just a pop culture phenomena. FF8 became the popular character template that every other character protagonist became like squall and rinoa's facial features that even tifa became more Rinoa in advent reiteration. While SF2 revolutionize FG games and also a pop culture phenomena, that it became the template of many 90s FGs from gameplay fundamentals and character base roster. it even create tons of clones just like Doom. This post is delusional. FF8 has how many games set in it's world? Hell FF10 has 2 games and FF13 has 3. FF7 is literally THE PS1 RPG.

FF7 is literally THE PS1 RPG.

There more Squall & Tifa Alike protagonist than Spiky blonde Cloud alike. yet FF7 is the popculture phenomena and i believe the SF2 equivalent of FF is no other than the japanese FF3 because it was the innovator of the whole FF series. FF1 and FF2 is more like SF1 while FF3 introduced the series of JRPG turn based staple like chocobos, summon, class/jobs, moogles? Correct me if im wrong with one or two with FF3 but the thing is FF3 pioneered MANY of FF series popular turn based rpg gameplay mechanics. FF3 revolutionize FF just like SF2 revolution FG genre. Yes SF2 is the most popular but during the 96-2006 era it was A3 that has more recent updates like Max, Upper and Double Upper it was A3 that was most mentioned and love by the SF normies community than SF2 in fact HSF2 wasnt popular to the SF normies community. FF normies love to mentioned FF7 as there favorite in 90- early 2k era thats why I used A3 as the equivalent. HDRemix was in was aftermath the dark age FGC. So the best comparison for me was A3 because it was the most mentioned like the best SF by normies like they like the gameplay because of diverse ism but in truth they have no real idea about the real indepth gameplay its all about V-ISM... lol. if you visit Capcom Unity/ BSS thats the common things people mentioned there in the FGC DARKAGES 2004-2008 I know @Darc_Requiem probably seen that.

Shakunetsu Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) SF2 stopped being normies favorite SF during FGC darkage and many didnt even notice HSF2 while A3 gets a lot of versions in the dark age era of fgc. HDremix was aftermath and did you that it was even supposed to be A3 hdremix instead of SF2 but they have a hard time. every SF normies love to mentioned A3 as the best SF in FGC darkage circa 2003-2006 another thing SF2 didnt get ported in GBC and PSP, while A3 has more variation during that era. that's why its FF7 because SF2 was dead to casual normies in that time edit yes SF2revival was in GBA but SF normies cared more with another A3 in GBA, or choose A3 over SF2R. plus HSF2 never made it to PSP another info did you there was a korean based A3 with slightly revised sprites and has online featured in 2003 LOL Edited March 9, 2023 by Shakunetsu Pair of Rooks 1 Link to comment

HeavensCloud Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I think the comparison about FF7 being milked as much as SF2 is a fair one. Both games have a shit load of iterations, can't be argued. However, SF2 was kind of the birth of fighting games and FF7 while amazingly popular, really only got things going in the West. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were already hugely popular in the East. And are we just going to forget about FF4, FF6 and Chrono Trigger? All three are incredibly games on par with FF7, especially the last two. Shakunetsu and TWINBLADES 2 Link to comment

Tend to agree - anecdotal, but at the time I only had one friend show me a FF7 demo disc for PS1, when basically all my school buddies had a SNES and played SF2 a tonne at one point or another (I once even rushed home from a girl I liked's place to get my Turbo cart to show her Chun Li's new fireball having discovered she liked SF, a fact I still shudder about that when remembering to this day...) I think that maybe as RPGs have become more mainstream though, FF7 is lauded as the one that really broke into the public consciousness. At the time though, not even close. SF2 was the biggest game in the country (and I understand, world) at the time. Edited March 9, 2023 by JustBooming HeavensCloud and Pair of Rooks 1 1 Link to comment

Sf2 was a household name and a popculture and also revolutionize the genre that cannot be change. but for those normies in the FGC darkage everyone would point out A3 is the best SF ever made thats why in the darkage A3 gets more versions not just ordinary ports than SF2, And every A3 version trumps over every Sf2 ports in popularity and attention in FGC darkage. upper, doubleupper and max while hsf2 no sf enthusiast cared on it in the darkage.

The thing that Final Fantasy 7 did and it was important for the genre, is show that RPGs from Japan could sell in the West if you actually advertise them. All of the other aspects people point out were done before. Hell even it's graphical style of polygonal characters over CGI backgrounds was done in RE1 and done better. In addition to being more detailed, the characters in RE1 actually had textures. Final Fantasy 7 characters were flat shaded. The battles ran at 15fps. The game was no technical marvel. Resident Evil 1 released on PS1 18 months before Final Fantasy 7. The Phantasy Star series had already killed of a main cast member twice. In Phantasy Star 2 in 1989 and Phantasy Star 4 in 1993. The Lunar series in 92, 93 had FMV and voice acting....which Final Fantasy didn't get until FFX. Hell Lunar 1 had a theme song with lyrics. I remember that shit blowing my mind as a kid.

Sonero Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I've said this before and it bears repeating: I love FF7. I spent an insane amount of ours playing it (grinded an extra set of Master Materia the hard way), had a stable of gold chocobos etc. The FMVs blew my mind at the time. When I went back to show try and explain what seeing that games like for first time, I got the same awesome feelings from it. But it isn't like JRPGs weren't mainstream. FF6 had full page ads in Gamepro. Might've been because of my group of friends growing up, but we were in that Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger etc. FF7 didn't do something new for us, it just did something in a way we didn't really understand could be done. Is what it is. But the game didn't leave a zeitgeist behind like SF2 did. SF2 did so much for FGs compared to what was happening at the time that it might as well have recreated the whole thing (because it basically did). It introduced a whole new gameplay lexicon to gaming etc. Much as I love it, FF7 didn't really bring something new to the table other than graphics (because if you think about some of the stuff that happens in FF6, they FMV sequence they were just not animated like you could for a CD). So nah, dudes are way off base comparing SF2 to FF7. Even when you factor in merchandising, there are way bigger cultural reasons why SF2 > FF7 even there.

Lets dial this back a bit. The original contention was that Pertho felt that comparing SF2 to FF7 in terms of it being milked as a flagshship title was sus. No one here is gonna argue that SF2 was a bigger cultural phenomenon. But in terms of over all relevance and the fact that SE seems hell bent on making more FF7 content over returning to older titles would seem to suggest that FF7 is up there with SF2 in terms of cultural relevance. FF7 doesn't need to have edition release parity with SF2 for this to be true. FF7 didn't need to be on everything for it to have the cultural pull that it has now. But even if we have that metric FF7 IS on everything now. 2 hours ago, -PVL93- said: Where did you get this weird idea that SFA3 is more popular than 2?

Not sure how they will add characters. If you fill the top 2 slots next to Luke, you can then fit in 20 characters divided into 4 columns, for a possible 22 additional characters. Bringing the total characters the select screen can accommodate to 40. Less than SF4 and SF5 - which is fine, quality over quantity. They could squish an additional 8 in a new row on top but I don't think it will happen. I foresee the 4 Shadaloo Kings occupying the bottom right corner.

ToreyBeans Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I kinda like that the character fonts are specific to the promotional media. If the individualized fonts were on the character select screen, I would've felt like it's trying hard to bite of GGXX. I guess I'm also a sucker for nostalgia cuz the 8 World Warriors in their SF2 CS screen configuration does plenty for me. As a kid, I learned who the 8 were according to their position and their character themes. Maybe it's not the best designed CA screen ever but it's plucking the 90s heart strings in a way no modern SF game has. Shakunetsu 1 Link to comment

Both games have a shit load of iterations, can't be argued. However, SF2 was kind of the birth of fighting games and FF7 while amazingly popular, really only got things going in the West. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were already hugely popular in the East. And are we just going to forget about FF4, FF6 and Chrono Trigger? All three are incredibly games on par with FF7, especially the last two. exactly Link to comment
