I'm an American, Jiddar. And even though FF7 was made 3 years before FF9, that doesn't excuse how bad the translation was, or how lame a villain Sephiroth was.

I just didn't like the game as much as everybody else. It's probably because FF7 was so many people's first Final Fantasy game. FF4 was my first, so a lot of FF7's attraction was lost on me.
