On average 3.5 Weapon guides for FFVII are submitted each month.
From: CJayC | Posted: 10/4/2005 8:30:33 PM | Message Detail
Over the last year and a half, anyway. That means that, since FFVII's release in 1997, I've probably received over 300 of them.

I really shouldn't laugh at the administrator of the site... Good luck, CJayC. Don't let them get you down!
But seriously, if there were enough to drive you to post here about it, there are many indeed.

It'd be interesting to see how many of them are:
a.) Done by first time writers
b.) Taken directly from a player's guide.

And here I was trying to help someone on the help board over the same thing... So when a question like this comes up:
"My weapon guide is X times bigger than what is posted and offers a better/alternate method to the posted method."
What should we tell them, that they have no chance of being accepted as they are? Thanks.

This gets me wondering if there is really any position for such a guide at all, and if the greatest weapons guide in the universe were written, somehow tearing the game apart at the seams in order to extract billions of mathematical formulae to assist in defeating them, would it be accepted? My interest has been piqued.

Okay, logical fallacy time!
~300 weapons guides have been rejected. I'll estimate that each one covered approximately 100 weapons. 300*100 is a really big number. Like 30000. Therefore, because of FFVII, there are 30000 more violent gamers walking the streets. Assume that over the 10 or so years that FFVII has been out (I don't know...), each of these "violent gamers" have spread their philosophies to 2 other people each year. Avoiding all the difficult math, there are like a 100 million more violent people because of FFVII.
The ESRB has failed us ;_;

I assume he meant Weapons as in Emerald and Ruby, not equipment. Plus, why would you multiply the number of weapons covered by the number of guides to get the number of people affected?

That game is about 20 years old and hundreds of Mario games have been released in that time. The effect is somewhat diluted.
