It’s a dangerous time. Walking outside of your home town means inviting the wilds to test you with vicious competition. You won’t have enough equipment, and your gear is mostly homespun. But your heart is pure. Your mission righteous. You will overcome.
This was the world of the videogame RPG in the mid 1980′s.
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.
Agree'd on breaking up with square. FFXIII hurt me too much, and FFversusXIII/XV may be too little too late if it doesn't have the following; Airships, World Map, Towns.
Seems we grew up with JRPG's in the same manner, was a very nostalgic and enjoyable read. The other day I was clearing out the attic and came across two odl instruction manuals in a box, one for Squaresofts FFVII and the other for Enix's Star Ocean Second Story... was like finding an old photograph with an old flame, heart breaking stuff haha.
I forgot all about shadow hearts, really enjoyed that game! I can't remember the last time I played a truly good RPG (Lost Odyssey hit close to the mark)and the sad thing is I dunno if I'll ever play another truly great JRPG again. Unless Ni No Kuni gets a rerelease on ps4 (I had sold my ps3 to pay off debt before it was released :( )
I've been playing the FF series lately ( first time for most) and I've got to say it makes new RPG's look bad.
I miss the days when i could just look at the square logo and know that i'll be getting a amazing game. It's nothing like the way it used to be.
I would like Square to do a game similar to Child of Light tho
Now doesn't compare to then.
