what did you do with the real square?

I started a new final fantasy 7 code a few days ago. it makes ff12 seem as sweet as my balls dipped in chocolate (nasty). nice plot assholes. It's such a shame too, because the beginning of the game is mind-blowing. Filled with political intrigue, assassinations, betrayal, crack. and then from there begins an incredibly long, drawn out fade into why am I still playing this game land. Of course, the process is so gradual that you don't even realize it's happening until you're at level 50 and you've wasted 40 hours of your life on this piece of shit. at least the elf rip off character is hot in that weird anime fantasy kinda way. I know you thought about it. my favourite part of the game is when you're fighting that boss for no reason (any of them) and half-way through it cuts to a scene of george lucas sucking j.r.r. tolkien's cock. what the hell happened square? why are the summons impossible to get, and so GOD DAMN USELESS? why did my roommate have to steal my code so he could walk through the ending because he just wanted to get it over with??? What have you done with the real square and who are you, really? I guess what's really disappointing about this game is that it feels more like that stink fest star wars episode one than final fantasy. The visuals are jaw-dropping, but the character's and plot are about as deep as ann coulter. The main character, whose dream is to become a sky pirate, just kind of becomes one in the end. oh wow brilliant. if by sky pirate you mean an honest, virtuous nice guy type hero. yep that's pretty much exactly what I think of when i hear the word pirate. and that's it. that's all that happens. no transformation into an extra-dimensional being of pure energy, or vanquishing an evil twin/dragoon/general hater. nope. BUT oooohh hey - look how many polygons we used wow!! the graphics!!! OMFG!!! because, like, as long as the graphics are sweet no one will notice how there is NO PLOT, or that every dungeon is the same, or that the side quests are stupid, because better graphics=better fun right? fuck that. this game is the opposite of final fantasy - flashy graphics and no substance. Anyone out there who is considering buying and/or playing this game -- do yourself a favour and just find a friend's copy and shit on it, and then go play final fantasy 7 again.

So my original idea for this post was to compare the characters from this game to star wars characters...but in researching images for comparison,I actually found someone who beat me to it. crazy.
and yes i know this is 2 years late. whatever.

ps. Square Enix- please respond to this post by making final fantasy 13 rock my face.
