Doubtless few people are going to truly dissertate over the overarching power of video games during the years of Atari or even Nintendo. Those were good times and most can have a remembering chuckle at the Konami code in hindsight; the problem though resides within the Super Nintendo and Playstation generations. Now, what game has become a virtual Great Gatsby? Where is the white whale that so many preach about?
Friends, the white whale is in fact the long, white mane of none other than Sephiroth. Huckleberry Finn has been cast by Cloud Strife. The Roman gods stand vigilant in the form of summons. Yes, you guessed it: Final Fantasy VII. Far from being a bad game, this exposé into, what were at the time, miraculous graphics and storytelling has become the chief offender of the "Nostalgic Disorder."
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
Final Fantasy VII is pretty overrated. I mean the story isn't good at all; it's just a badly done blatant copy of FFVI.
The characters are so lame: you have a talking wolf of some sort, a stupid cat on a moogle, and a spikey haired, emo metrosexual who has no clue a chick digs him. None of them had good character development. Yuffie and Vincent don't have a good personality, but luckily they're optional. The only good characters were Barrett, Cid and Tifa. Aerith annoyed the hell out of me.
Sephiroth is the most overrated villain ever. He pales in comparison to the sadistic Kefka and Albedo. Tell me: what is so great about Sephiroth? Nothing. All he did was a kill an innocent flower girl by stabbing her in the back, and then he gets defeated by an emo teenager. Behold the best villain ever. Kefka poisoned water and even put his men in danger. That dude has no soul which made him great.
Many claim that FFVII was innovative, but it's just the same battle system as the previous ones. The materia wasn't very good; it lacks depth. You want a good customization? Play FFV or FFVIII.
Crisis Core also sucks. The dialogue is horrendous. It's filled with stupid, gothic poetry badness. The gameplay completely sucks. All you have to do is press X, and Zack will run up and attack the enemies. You don't have to take him near the enemy; he alone runs up to him.
Final Fantasy IV, VI, IX, VIII, X are better.
I just bought FFVII again, from the PSN. And I'm liking it more NOW than I did when I first played it in 1997. I don't know what everybody's beef is with this game. I think the setting, the mode, the music, the graphics, the simplicity of the battle-system and materia-system ... it all comes together really well to make what's one of the top 3 Final Fantasy games in my opinion. And that spells AWESOME for me.
It's not that its a bad game, its that everyone craps themselves at the mention of the game and how its "OMG BEST GAME EBAR!!1!1!"
