For the life of me though, I can never understand how people can play through the mass of shit that is FF 9.

My order prolly goes (new generation games anyway): FF7 > FF8 > FFX/X-2 (A lot hated X and X-2. I loved them. Thought they were really unique.), and then finally >>>>>>>>>>>> 9. I can not even begin to tell anyone how bad I felt paying 50 dollars for it, then finding out that it was the pile of wank it was.

Yes, IX was a fair bit of awful.

I say no it would not have been as great. While FF7 was legendary at the time for it's style and graphics, it also had what I consider to be the second greatest FF storyline (after Tactics of course...I know you all probably hate it but I love it so SHUT THE FUCK UP). And a huge part of that storyline was her death. I personally know people who cried, so I can personally back up that people di cry when it happened. It was huge, now it would have been a success even without her death, because let's face it, it's the greatest PRG of all time in the eyes of Video Game Marks (I ain't no VG Smart). However I think part of what wrapped you up so emotionally in the story was her death. I think it was needed, at least to give it the legendary status it has.

Noone with half a brain that actually played Tactics could possibly hate it. It's the best thing ever made with the name Final Fantasy attached to it. Followed by 6. Then 7.

People were already hooked by the time that happened though. The game was compelling up until that point, or the death would have meant fuck all. It was the end of a disc, it was a turning point, but one that hinged on the frame the rest of the story created.

Not to mention it seemed pretty ad hoc to me, but whatever.

The story would have likely continued as compelling, as Aeris' death offers little to the latter elements of the story beyond writing her out.

And VG marks love FFVII Because OMFG HES GOT A BIG KATANA HES SO COOL I <3 SEPIROTH

You're forgetting the most important thing about her death, which is (to use wrestling terms) it put Sepiroth over as the best heel in gaming history.

Seriously, who did not want to kick his ass after that scene, the thing that made that game so good is the way they built up to the final battle so well, and this was one of the best ways in which they achieved this. The death wasn't fundamental to the success of the game, but the character of Sepiroth was, and his main impact was in that one scene.

The only reason I wanted to kick seppy's ass is he was such a lame, cardboard fucking cliché. I get more depth out of the semen stains in my drawers.

I could not disagree more. I think he is the greatest Video Game villian of all time. He does have the traditional cliche aspects (the all black, the ubber-powerful, etc.) but he is very interesting. I love storylines that involve a form of man made god.

There are no words to describe how sad you made me, describing Vanilla Ice as interesting, let alone the greatest video game villain of all time.
