[Classic] Going back to Classics(IMO)Need Decision made. FF8 or FF7?

Here's my two cents.

If you're going to play both, play Final Fantasy VII before Final fantasy VIII, or you will be severely disappointed when you go back to play Final Fantasy VII. Looking back on it, if you've never played either one, it won't be that bad, but if you've already played both, your second time through Final fantasy VII will be mediocre as fuck.

So In Conclusion:

Final Fantasy VII first
Final Fantasy VIII second

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The standards were never set high. Technically, Final Fantasy VII was not as good as Final Fantasy VI. It was held in high praise because it was the First Final Fantasy to hit 3D graphics, which hid an otherwise mediocre storyline and character development. With that said, Final Fantasy VIII trumps it in the graphics area as well as the mediocre storyline and character development of Final Fantasy VII. People just didn't give it as much praise because Final Fantasy in the third dimension has already been achieved. Most of the goals Squaresoft set for Final Fantasy VIII were achieved. It just depends on if you liked the GF/Magic Drawing system or not.

I'd have to say, the music really wasn't that good either, when compared to everything else. People thought it was good because of the new sound technology. No longer did it sound like 16-bit sound. But the actual composition of the music itself? Kinda sucked if you ask me. Some were terrific, but others sucked big ass.

How ya doing, buddy?
