You remember the doctor earlier that gave you that jump-thing?
If you didn't get it you could get the towrope and save Curly

Unfortunately I didn't. That was one of the saddest moments in my gaminghistory (no, I havn't played FF7)

Not that it would matter, FF7 is a bad game with unlikable characters.

It's not perfect, granted, but I think that's a bit harsh. I was pretty turned off by the gratuitous amount of hype that the game gets (or used to get, it seems), but after going back through it a second time there were a lot of things that I missed on a first playthrough and made me realize how many little details and neat touches were put into it. If anything, I think FF7 suffers from poor pacing, since the first act in Midgar up through the flashback sequence is terrific, and then it sort of peters out the farther you get into it.

The trouble is with separating FF7 itself from the rest of the compilation. FF7 is pretty good, but gets dragged down by all the unnecessary and badly-written fluff that gets added thanks to Advent Children and all the other games tacked onto the story.

I know they're not actually console games, but my favorites would have to be Need for Madness? and Need for Madness?! Toooo?!

Crisis Core is actually a great game and Advent Children is a good movie. The only game that's kind of meh is Dirge of Cerberus, but I personally enjoy it. Saying that they're dragging down FFVII is complete bullshit. The game was okay, but that's it. Not as brilliant as FFVI.

Thanks. For a moment there I was worried, though. I almost needed to blow you.

The only thing I don't like about the Advent Children movie is that they decided to competely erase Cloud's entire character development from the original game and made him brood and angst all over the damn place, because they thought that characterization is what players would remember more.

It's thanks to that retcon the his subsequent cameos and appearances in other games have been much of the same and he's gotten the reputation of being "emo" when that's not his character at all. Sure, in the original game he went through a period of emotional trauma but he had a very good reason for it, and a major part of his character arc was moving PAST that trauma and dealing with it rather than hiding behind illusions. Now he's all mope mope mope angst angst every time he appears in a game and I'm pretty sick of it.

I'd have to go with my good ol' buddy Pikmin 2. That game had EVERYTHING!
-meaty single player
-over 200 collectables
-gameplay so unique and fantastic, it's like nothing else
-30 challenge stages to master (score based. Get a purple flower on a stage by not losing a single Pikmin)
-encourages speed runs
I accomplished everything (including purple flowering ever challenge stage) in this game and it was worth it!

My goodness! You are my bestest pal! Pikmin and Mother are the best! You should see my Mother collection! I have a japanese statue of Ness, Japanese Novel and guidebook to the first game, and every single Japanese version of every Mother game in its original package!
