Forums · Chrono Trigger vs. Final Fanasy VII [Teh Rematch of Gamefaqs.com's poll ]
These games were at the finals last year during Gamefaqs' contest. Apparently FF7 won and Im outraged (!!!!!) :P
And Im bored..so what game would it be?
I pick Chrono Trigger because it had better story (and an interesting concept of time-traveling) and more likeable characters.

I'd have to agree with the majority of people who have already posted.
Chrono Trigger was obviously the better game in terms of Battle System, Character Development and a compeling story. Final Fantasy VII had "better graphics," a series of plot holes, and somewhat decent character development...also the story was a bit predictable.
Only reason Final Fantasy VII won is due to the fact that a lot of people never got around to playing Chrono Trigger. Damn shame really...maybe it'll get a port to DS.
Either way I voted for and forever stand by Chrono Trigger. 8)

I still can't believe how FFVII won over Chrono Trigger, I wonder what those gamefaqs dudes were thinking? FFVII doesn't even fall close to Chrono Trigger in gameplay or graphics. (>_>) Maybe FFVII won because of the great legacy it still holds from the past years coming up.

Better girls? Ayla doesn't even wear pants! She's got a thong or something. And Marle smacks her butt when she dances in the prehistoric party. Better girls... heh...

One of the things I don't like about FF7 and 8 is that the characters don't matter in battle. You can use whichever ones you want, they are all basically carbon copies. In 7 you had your materia setup, and in 8 the junctions, and other than that the characters were the same if equally equipped. In FF9 as well as CT each character had their unique abilities, and in CT you had the innovative idea of mixing those abilities. You might still favor some over others (Frog was just too cool not to use) but you did so knowing that you cannot use the other characters' valuable skills.
But in FF7 you at least have a dynamic main character. Cloud's personality doesn't stay constant throughout the game, it is altered by the plot. Some people complain about poor character development, but with Cloud it is about the evolution of his personality. Crono was the archetypical hero and remains that way, even down to his altruistic sacrifice to save his friends. I guess the biggest thing is that these days every story is about the dynamic characters, about how they change rather than emphasizing the story. I just saw a anime movie the other day where all of the characters were static in personality, but that didn't matter with the remarkable plot. In the end the better story should win.
