FINAL FANTASY VII

Fun

One of the greatest games of all time

Final Fantasy VII is a product of its time. For better and for worse This review is pretty useless because the very reasons I don't recommend it ended up being so compelling that it's no longer available in the store. Even so, for the record: This port has a million problems: the awful translation of the original, numerous visual and audio issues due to bringing it into the future, and generally all the technical problems of the PSX version, but worse because the input is incompatible most of the time Square Enix's work in bringing this game to 2013 was so poor that they had to release the 'good' version 13 years later (yeah FYI, they re-realeased FF7, which is the version you can buy rn). I'm glad for those who will be able to enjoy FF7 with a somewhat more playable version than those of us who had to endure this one where, without mods, many segments feel unplayable On the other hand (and this is somewhat cherry-picking), it's a game that relies so heavily on being visually cutting-edge that it has aged horribly: a story that was already present in the anime 10 years earlier, in the manga 20, in the novels 30, and in essays 40; extremely limiting controls and visuals that make it hard to believe it was the best thing about its time, especially considering that this didn't happen to SM64, for example. Most of the positive reviews for this game stem from nostalgia; just take a look and you'll see that most people are really just talking about memories they have of the title and the first time they played it, rather than what you'll actually find in it. Even so, it remains one of the most ambitious works and polishes some of the most interesting systems in the entire franchise to the fullest, with one of the finest game loop in a Final Fantasy Game ever (once you know how to play, for sure); making it a must-play To sum it up, if you like JRPGs, it's a must-have. If you bought this edition, you should already have the new one by default, but if not, ignore this and buy the new one. On the other hand, if you're not interested in JRPG history, save yourself the trouble.

épico até hoje.

经典jrpg神作，比起注水的重制版，这是个更值得体验的作品。

Finally played this game after 29 years of its release, In 1997 I was playing Diablo and Fallout and Quake II, such great games for its time. Compared to those games FF7 aged like milk. Combat is fine but everything else is rage inducing, especially absense of minimal quest log, rare save points and minigames. Game crashed right befor unfailable duel with finall boss, had to watch ending on youtube lol. Was fun expirience but would not play it again and not excitet about remakes because plot is pretty mid.
