ah yes.. and the long silver-haired badguy looking to dominate the world is so original... *cough*.....
I dont even remembering ffx having its own commercial in the U.S. (unlike 7). Sure its linear.. but squaresoft doesnt put a 'non-linear' guarantee on all thier RPG's, because they try something different each time. Which in turn is why they dont guarantee you'll love it.
god, cant you people get over the fact that each ff is different? lol
In any case.. FF's have gone down the toilet, squaresoft needs something new.. 12 games in a series is just retarded....
I never found out about ff7 until my mum or sister (i can't remember which) bought it from a second hand games rack in GAME (or Electronics boutique as it was known then). That was around when we first got a ps1 (1998) and we didn't play it for about a year or two after, then we didn't become obsessed with it until 2 or 3 years later (when my sister was completing it for like, the millionth time, she had a walkthrough).
As for ads in the uk, I vaguely remember the end of an ad with Sephiroth walking through the flames in Nibelheim and then the ff7 logo popping up. But I hadn't paid much attention as I was probably 6 or 7 at the time.
Hardly anybody has heard of ff7 where I live, except for some of my sisters friends from school, my best friend who my sister has made obsessed with ffX-2 and a staff member at Sea Cadets. (call us sea kapoofs and YOU WILL PAY!)
THAT'S how many people know about it in the two towns in which I commute!
