Final Fantasy 7
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Final Fantasy VII is a best selling RPG for the Sony Playstation and IS the best game ever made. PERIOD. Despite being a best seller the game is filled with highly offensive material. For one it features a hockey team named the AVALANCHE who are also a terrorist group. They blow up a coal power plant but justify it by saying they are helping the environment. The game is also filled with profanity especially from Cid and Barrett (who bears a strong resemblance to Mr. T). The game was also critcized harshly because of the sexual liaisons of the main character Cloud Strife. He has relations with three girls in the course of the game including a 16 year old Japanese girl named Yuffie. Final Fantasy 7 can not be made fun of it is just too cool.

[edit] Criticisms
AERITH DIES.
Although from a commercial standpoint Final Fantasy VII was highly successful, it has been criticized by a variety of both liberal and conservative groups including Christian groups, women's groups, and minority groups.
[edit] Christian Criticisms
Although the game does not mock Christianity or make any references to God or Jesus, the game does violate Christian values. On one hand, Cloud does show genuine affection to his friends and lovers and Barrett is shown to have a good relationship to his daughter but the game is fraught with moral relativism. The protagonists of the game are eco-terrorists who although their cause may be noble, their methods are brutal and repugnant and their actions kill innocent civilians. Although their renounce terror later in the game, this does not excuse their actions. Also sex is trivalized in the game. Instead of being the ultimate act of intimacy between a man and his wife; Cloud has relations with three unmarried young women, one of whom is still a teenager. Although the acts were depicted as consensual, this does not send a good message to young impressionable children and teens. The entire previous paragraph was just a joke, proving that Cloud is a master of Stucco.
[edit] Women's Rights Group Criticisms
Ironically, many women's rights groups share some of the same complaints as Christian groups. Despite often being at odds with each other, feminists and Christians find some common ground in their opposition to this game. Women's groups find the way sex is trivalized to be highly offensive as well as the fact that the girls in the game are sometimes treated as sex objects by the other characters. The fact that a 16 year old is depicted in sexual acts with an older man (Cloud is 21 years old) has also been harshly criticized.
[edit] Minority Rights Group Criticisms
Both Japanese and African-American groups have been highly outraged by the stereotypical portrayal of Japanaese and African American characters. Barrett is depicted as loud, hot-headed and prone to violence, reinforcing the stereotype of black gang members. Yuffie is portrayed as a nymphomaniac which perpetuates the stereotype that Japanese women are merely the playthings of Western men, but hey...who's complaining.
