    have to disagree FF7 character growth

    barret - eco warrior, with a little girl that is clearly not his, you find out a whole town hates him, you find out how he got his gun arm and became the dad to his best friends little girl, he best friend he has to duel and kill half way through the game, and you find out why he blames shinra for the whole thing

    tifa - you find tifa in the slums of midgar, you find out how she was clouds childhood friend (complicated story with the whole cloud/zak mako memory thing but i'll not get into that) you find out how a popular village girl watches her village burn, and follows sephiroth to what seems her bloody end, only to be saved by a monk, so her growth is how she ended up being driven by her hate for sephiroth and became quite possibly the hardest lady in the world, and i never even touched the tifa - cloud -aerith love triangle

    red xiii - you find this lovable dog/wolf sort of thing in a research lab, you find he can talk which is a shock, at first he seems like a very old very wise sage like charater, he seems to know the world is in pain, you go to his village, you find out he hates is father a cowardly traitor, and loves his mother, a brave guardian that gave he life for her village, at this point we realise Red is nothing more than a scared little boy that was lost and wanted to go home, and only by finding out the truth of his fathers heroism does he find the strength help you save the world

    i really could go on about cid being screwed out of flying and hating shinra, vincent having a score to settle with sephiroth etc but thats it for now lol, in my opinion all characters had depth, growth, a sense that they had feelings which and experiences that made them the ppl they were. thats not me saying FF6 never i loved the characters in that game justas much

    but i do have one last point. is it just coincidence that FF seems to lost some of its shine at the same time that Hironobu Sakaguchi left (i'm being diplomatic there lol)

    For FF7, I viewed it as we're discovering more about the character's pasts and motives. But their beliefs are pretty much the same throughout the main storyline. Versus the characters are changing their perceptions of the world or their beliefs.

    there was a bit of that as i say Red xiii, had a life changer where his whole views changed, yuffie had the point where she found out her dad was not a weak holiday home owner, and aerith journey of discovery was second to none with te way her story ended, but in that game every character was different had different reason for fighting and we found out about these ppl in different ways, the story as a whole was a masterpiece (if not very hard to keep track of in places)

    my opinion FF4 FF6 and FF7 and possibly FF 5 had the greatest story's, not not to say i didnt like all the others, just as far as story goes they were great (the thing with opinions is every1 is allowed one. just remember only mine is correct lol)
