This is a really weird story about two teens from Germany. They went around as the alias, 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno'. What they did has caused people in Germany to see the game Final Fantasy VII as a "killer game". What? Final Fantasy VII?

Check the story out here.

This is very disdurbing. How can some people be so crazy, disturbing, and evil?

I wasn't sure if this would be alright to post, but if its not, I guess it'll be taken off. Its just a weird story I heard about from ign.com and wanted to share. Even though it is really disturbing to me.

well, someone are retarded enought to do the same stuff as the do in games. GTA has already spawned such stories among teens. boys go nuts and begns to spray with a their dads machineguns within the house without knowing that what they're doing is bad. it all comes down to extreme retardedness, beyond the genetics...

I read this over at Forever-Fantasy.

But nothing like that happens in FF7. No one murders a mum and a dad then kidnaps a kid. rofl. the people just used the names, how is it the game doing it? D:

Thats just plain..... dunce. Some people are just plain fucked in the head, it has nothing to do with video games.

Yeah I read this a couple of days ago. It's sad that people think it was FFVII's fault because they called themselves that and had copies of the game. I can bet good money that most the people calling this a killer game haven't even played it. People are screwed up in the world...it doesn't mean "the video game made them do it".
If I was Square I'd be laughing at the fact that people are soo desperate to blame something but the psychopaths who actually commited the murder. People are influenced by things in the world but leave a game which has nothing to do with it alone...

Bah! Rant over *Moves to Final Fantasy Forum*
