8 beats 7 in most ways, but 7 has a better and more coherent story. At least Clouds memory wipe makes sense, where as 8 is like i onno, gfs did it. 8 had deeper customization and so many hillarious way to break the game, a sick card game, a bigger more realistic world and still quite a good story even with the plot holes.

But there is no denying that the characters in 7 are much more Iconic to the series. There is a reason 7 got tapped for a remake and not 8 or 9 or even 6. I would do unspeakable things to see a modern version of Kefka just, being a massive douche in the world of balance.

I have to applaud the dedication to the bit. Show that complainer whats what.

I think VII being the first 3D FF also was a big reason for being so suited to remake. VI still looks awesome today, it's peak pixel art era and a lot of the sprites are really beautiful. Original VII looks like pure ass. Nothing has aged worse graphically than old, first generation 3D games.

I'm with you completely though, VI is my favorite and a modernized version would be a sight to see. I wonder what they'd do with the opera scene.
