I didn't get into Final Fantasy until 8. So I've always known she dies. It didn't do anything for me when she did.
However, I did feel like her death was a surprisingly long way into the game despite being disc 1.
Same. Plus the characters are meh in FF7 in my opinion, I didn't really get attached to them.
I've only played FF7 for the first time recently. I'm in the process of playing FF8 right now and honestly, I care about the story and characters more in the latter. I don't know if it's an age thing, or having been spoiled for so long on FF7 plot beats but not FF8, or what. 8 seems to be striking more chords for me.
Who doesn't like a cheerful and full of hope Selphie? Or a cool duster wearing guy? Or a Man with a Machine Gun? Even Squall, the stereotype has an okay-personality while Cloud seem so... empty?
