How did Americans react to Final Fantasy VII coming after III?
I didn't react. I listened, which is what no one else did.
it made perfect sense since VII came with 4 discs
Serious FF fans and gamers either already knew or quickly learned from mags. Less informed or more casual gamers rarely cared or gave it much thought, assuming they even knew much about the previous games.I imagine there were 6 fans confused by it, but I never met any personally. People generally understood and accepted it quickly.Though the era of writing 3j for ff3 on nes was funny. People had to distinguish still because it remained common for a long time to call it 3 (the name we played it as) even when you knew it was 6.
>>12813389Final Fantasy 5 was a mentioned a few times in gaming magazines at the time so I think a lot of people were at least aware that more than 3 mainline final fantasy games existed

>>12813415oh zoomie, you just outed yourself
>>12813404FF7 was the first instalment of the series to be released in Europe but the SNES games still got reviewed in the import section of magazines, you could even say there was hype for FF6 in that capacity. Same for Chrono Trigger or Earthbound. Similarly the TG16 was never released in Europe and they only gave a shit about PC Engine imports (a scene which predated the Grafx anyway)
>>12813418nope
all the square fansites laid it out pretty clearly so anyone who went online looking for a guide at all would learn about FF2j/3j/5, especially once you got into emulation
