Final Fantasy VII: Citizen Kane for the gaming set

The Globe and Mail writes:

...experiencing [Final Fantasy VII] again as it was originally designed is like watching the black and white version of a classic film as opposed to a newly colourized edition, or reading Shakespeare without Coles Notes. It's a bit more difficult--perhaps even a little frustrating--but worth it in the end, if for no other reason than to be reminded of some of the ways in which game design and technology has changed over the years.

Should video games still exist in recognizable form 50 or 100 years from now, Final Fantasy VII will almost certainly be recognized as one of the medium's early classics and great genre pioneers. If you've never played it, it's worth taking the time now. It's all but destined to become Citizen Kane for the gaming set.
