I'm pretty sure he does, and I'm pretty sure when I first played it (back when it was released) I laughed at the poor quality of the graphics. They were bad even for back then.
Anyway, FF7 is a decent game, just not the greatest thing evar. I'm not sure which FF I like the best, either, but FFX is definitely a good game. Too bad Tidus is a horrible character. :(
I don't even know why Squaresoft/Square-Enix has an affinity for heroes that are douchebags (Cloud, Squall, Tidus, the Unholy Trinity of Douchebags). Well, some heroes were good (Terra, Cecil) but some others are pretty bad (which seems to be a..."trend" that started with the 3D games).
