final fantasy 7 is, indeed, the best final fantasy game ever(psp)

Paragraph 1) In response to my request for my opponent to point out how the aspects of "adventurous missions involved with betrayal, friendship, and sacrificing" makes FF Crisis core better than the other games which have included these themes, but all he manages to point out that this game has good graphics and cutscenes. Ladies and gentleman, graphics and storyline are two different aspects involved in a game. Ergo, my opponent has failed to show how the previous mentioned aspects of plotting are superior in Crisis Core than they are in any other FF game. Furthermore, if we are to go by graphics, than I could just as well cite each FF game for the PS2 in order to counter Crisis Core's graphics/cut scenes. Throughout this debate, any time my opponent wishes to bring up graphics, just refer back to this point concerning the PS2 FF games. Paragraph 2) Next, my opponent attempts to prove that Crisis Core is more action packed than any other FF game by pointing out that Crisis is closer to being a platformer game (something like Kingdom Hearts), however . . . my dear audience, this does not actually prove Crisis Core to be the most action packed game. All my opponent has managed to do is prove that one game utilizes action in a different format per se. The fact of the matter is that regardless of action being employed in a different format (one game being turn based, providing in depth battle methods due to the pure emphasis on strategy), the games are each action packed in their own right. In addition, my opponent attempts to point out that because of the way action is employed in other FF games, players would find themselves dying more frequently. Basically, PRO's problem is that the other FF games are "harder" than Crisis Core. However, it is this quality (and others) which makes most of the other FF games superior to Crisis Core as the other games are more demanding intellectually. Because of this, players actually manage to improve their thinking skills (especially in the FF games which enforce active time battles) through bettering themselves as tacticians. In addition, the harder a game is, the more rewarding it is when you finally beat it. Paragraph 3) My above point on difficulty can be applied here. As for the modulating phase, it is indeed a nice system, but compared to the in depth list of techniques/abilities which players have access to in other games, it doesn't even come close. Essentially, the modulating phase is comparable to the Limit Breakers, Overdrives, etc in other FF games. In other words, it's been done before. To boot, you even you more characters to pull off these special attacks. Furthermore, PRO tries to point out that the action is more intense, but if we go back to how he was complaining about the other games being more difficult, we can consider the above as him conceding to the other games being more tense. Paragraph 4) Once more, PRO goes back to discussing "sacrifice and betrayal", however, this doesn't even compare to the main character's objective in FFX being to kill his own father or FF4 where Cecil is put at odds with Kain or Golbez (his brother). In other words, the "fight your friend/family" factor has been used before in FF games, thus Crisis Core i no more unique in utilizing it. To add, Crisis Core fails to top its predecessor in the sacrifice aspect as the death of Aerith was a first in FF history. Paragraph 5) PRO attempts to point out the romance between Zack and Aerith and suggest that it stands out amongst other FF games because other FF game's romances have merely been seen as text and the characters have been squished, however, if we look back to FF10 and recall the romance between Tidus and Yuna and further recall how Tidus ended up having to sacrifice himself in the end for the greater good, it is rather apparent that Crisis Core has nothing new up its sleeve. Paragraph 6) I'd like for PRo to expound Paragraph 7) There has been a main character in each FF game and you've revolved mostly around their goals. There being other characters has merely been a bonus (I'll expound in R3 due to time restraints) I'm out of time. Drat. Next round then. :D
