Final Fantasy vs. Oblivion

An anonymous reader writes "bit-tech has up a short comparison between Final Fantasy VII and Oblivion. While Oblivion is touted as the latest and greatest PC-based RPG, Final Fantasy VII is held in the minds of many gamers as the best RPG of all time. From the article: 'At the time of its release, nearly ten years ago, FFVII received rave reviews from the press and the public, and it has a claim to being the best loved Final Fantasy game ... In a Top 100 Games of all time, it would be up there in the single digits. It is, by all accounts, Sergeant Pepper-Citizen Kane great. If something is great, it should be great whenever you pick it up -- buy a fresh copy of Pepper or Kane now and they'll still blow you away: they were great in '67 and '41, and they're great now. Is the same true of FFVII?'"

Give me a Namco RPG any day. Or something new from the team behind Skies of Arcadia. Hell, if you must stick to Squenix, why not compare to Chrono Trigger? You can tell FF6 didn't have any replay value because I lent my copy to someone, finally got it back after a year, my save (near the end, but still unbeaten) had been deleted, and I felt no urge to start over. I played a little FF7, but I realized I was playing to see FMVs which weren't very good and stopped. Didn't even get as far as Aeris dying. Good thing I was just borrowing the Playstation.
