SuperSquall said: Let's be fair here, most RPGs have... let's say "stretched" reasons for getting us to travel across the *entire* world. The real metric of quality is whether or not the places are worth visiting, and FFVII nails that the first time around. The Disc 2 re-visits for the most part aren't as good but they also tend to be pretty quick experiences... It doesn't overstay it's visit in any one place (I'm looking at you FF8!).
