The story pretty much, just like previous installments of Final Fantasy (or if you want to side-track) perhaps Chrono Cross or Chrono Trigger. Either way most liked the story and the characters, as well as the music. So like every other game that is liked it pretty much boils down to the content that was in it and how the gamers experienced it. Since it was experienced as being great or rather "Awesome" in some people's eyes. The game is heralded as one of the best. Not to mention it may have been the first for quite a few people.

IMHO Ff7 still has the best summons and magical spells in any Final Fantasy to day.

Knights of the Round owns everything and it even impressed Chuck Norris.

1.10 - WHY?!?!?!?!?!
Because this game was the dawning of the how we experience games today. Yes story, gameplay, music, were all done before this game, but this was the start of the modern development of current games. This game is truly godly.

That's why.

FF7 is practically the most influencial RPG ever made since the 32 bit era. This game is the pinnacle of the classic RPG formula.

Everything is great about this game and now it is portable on your psp :).. (and legally at that for those who dabble in the homebrew).. Resident Evil this past Thursday and now FF7 and Medal of Honor... my psp is very happy.

Final Fantasy VII was THE defining RPG that brought the genre more mainstream. It was the first game in the series to feature fully 3D graphics and digital sound. As with the original PlayStation, this game also transformed the genre that is RPGs as we now know them. FFVII had an amazing story as well as characters that we could all identify with. Included was the great world map that you could explore that so many games these days lack.

I remember the first time I played FFVII. I rented the game from Roger's Video and I had just gotten out of Midgar and I didn't think the game was all that great. After 2 days of contemplation, I need to see more of the game and what it had to offer. I looked for many sources of money so I could get the game and I finally got it. It was great all the way through. Now I have a rare original Black Label edition and I'd not trade it for anything. Now I can download it to my PSP and play it on the go, that alone is AWESOME. FFVII isn't the life changing experience some people make it out to be, but it's one of the best RPGs of all time, and I encourage any fan of the genre to check it out.

On another note, I'm downloading it now as it's one of the pure classics of all time. I encourage others who are fans of the genre to do the same.

If you do not understand why this game is so important then you might not want to even bother. I however will recommend that you play it and see what the fuss is all about. I remember playing this game when it was released and can say that I have not played a FF game that was as much fun as this one since. FFX was close but not quite.

I don't know??? I personally liked FFX more.

At least fans who were hoping for a re-release have finally got it! I wonder if they will complain about it not having updated HD graphics (Ps3 graphics I mean).

I wanted to get ShenMue 2 again because I remember it as being a great game that was misunderstood. But when I finally got it again, I was disappointed with it!

I hope FFVII is as good as fans remember...

Maybe later, I don't take kisses but I do take virtual hugs and stds.

Wtf is up with the disagree fairies? They should really eliminate the disagree and agree feature. It makes no sense anymore any people disagree with common facts.

It took me a while to find it buried in the middle of the classic games section. Why don't they bring it up and advertise it for others to see?

Anyways. Hell yes. Now i dont have to purchase the game on ebay for $70+

Can Anyone answer this?

well this is free money considering its going for 60-70$ online for a used disc version....they could use the profits alone to pay for a sequel or a remake........id be happy with the remake.....

I would be happy with a remake if they add more stuff or other misclenous islands to fight WEAPONS and get random summons.

Getting the knights of the Round was a pain in the behind but well worth it.

I thought it was going to be 4.99? Oh well. 10 bucks is still better than 80 for all 3 discs.

After playing ff x-2, I went to the store to get all other final fantasy. 7's story was memorable, it had an impressive soundtrack, a lot of mini-games that are part of the story and iconic characters.

We didn't get Resident Evil Director's Cut, Medal of Honor or FF for download on PSN.

The last PSOne classic we got was Creatures 3....who the hell wanted that!!!

Again, this is directed at Sony New Zealand.
