That's because FF VI is nowhere near as popular or as successful as FFVII. FFVI can't even touch this game in term of hype.
But it's cool to hate FFVII these days (and love FFVI) I guess...
It'll remain one of the best in the series for me, though. Hopefully this remakes delivers. I'm afraid they'll change the gameplay systems...
I'm a FFVII hate-hipster.
I've hated this game since loooooong before it was cool to hate it.
I've hated it since it came out on the PSX.
And I own it, because occasionally I think "Maybe I'm wrong... maybe now I've matured enough to like it, like with stinky cheeses or beer?".
Then I play and and I'm like "Yup... still hate it".
And my opinion of this has existed before you even joined this forum, so yeah "I guess" it's cool to hate it now, but my hatred of this game is damn near Ancient level.
