Everywhere I go, I hear FFVI fans talking about how the FFVII fans are ruining the fandom because they refuse to accept the possibility that it might not be "the best game ever." Before I go any further, I'd like to point out that I think they are both FANTASTIC games, and are two of the best game out there. Beyond that, I'm not talking about any few people in particular, and I'm not even talking about any one site. I understand that I'm GOING to be more likely to find someone who enjoys VI more than VII here on Caves of - you know - NARSHE, but Youtube, the Joystiq.com comment boxes, Gonintendo comment boxes, even on Harvest freaking MOON fansites, the majority seems to enjoy VI more than VII.

My question here is thus: Why is it, that if Final Fantasy VII has sold so much better than Vi, has been expanded into a far larger universe, and is supposedly the game that made it "okay" to like the genre, then why does it seem so much easier to find an FFVI fan that one of number VII? And why is it that when you find an FFVI fan, they will be the first ones to tell you that they are in the minority, and that they are sick of VII fanboys? And why is it that when you DO find someone who prefers VII, they write their "Final Fantasy VII is the best game in the series I love Cloud/Tifa/Tifa's melons" comment, it's ALWAYS in grammar so atrocious only a person who wasn't alive in the 90s - the game's release era - could have written them?

I'm not trying to point fingers, and I'm not trying to offend. I just don't honestly understand this, because it just doesn't add up. I would really like it if someone could explain this to me. Thanks in advance!

@Narraratorway - I appreciate the thought but... uh, what does that have to do with this? I don't get it, really.

I know you're not trying to instigate, but we've been dealing with this way too much lately and quite honestly it's getting incredibly irritating. I'll refer you to this topic and close this one.
