I think the thing about FFVII Abridged is that you have to know about and like FFVII to enjoy the show.

I do not play video games and I could give less of a shit about them.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I disagree on grounds that I don't like FFVII very much and feel it's sorely overrated.

Same.
...Although I do know a lot about it.

Okay, but you do know a fair amount about it, it seems.

I don't even know why the hell they call it Final Fantasy anymore. I know why they came up with the name, but I don't know why they still use it.

After one game, though?

Knowing about the source material is only relevant when it's what you're basing the jokes on. Without that, you can basically do what you want and get an audience that way.
I know Final Fantasy VII, I've played Final Fantasy VII, and I like Final Fantasy VII. I still didn't find the attempt Team Four Star made at an abridged series funny overall.

Yes. I've played all the Final Fantasies between IV and X, and also XII. It's my opinion that VII is where the franchise began its downward spiral.

"No. Those are Squalls and nobody likes those."
Hm.
Why is VII so much more well-known and popular than the others?

Deeper story, more mature themes, protagonist had angst but was relatively reasonable about it until Square Enix got too into the angst.
I like Squalls a lot more than I like Clouds.

Because it was the Halo of the genre. For an entire generation of gamers, FFVII was their first JRPG.

Face me now, Bitch!
But not many people like Lightnings.

...I mean, I like Lightnings more than I do Clouds or Squalls.
As meteorological events to.

So are there ANY FF games after VII that people like?

I hear XIV is pretty good now.
Most people like IX.
Queen of Good Things, Honest
IX and X both have heavy fanbases of fans and heavy fanbases of haters.
I, personally, hate IX but love X.

I like VIII, IX, X, X-2, and 12.
I mean, V is my favorite.

So is there any game people hate so much that they pretend it never happened?

I love FFVII Abridged. It took a few episodes to catch its stride but then it got hilarious.
