If you're a Final Fantasy fan, you've already likely been in a conversation where you've defended your own favorite entry in the saga to the death.

If vi had 100 million spent on marketing it would be the bigger game, but only vii had that huge marketing push from Sony. Vii is still a great game though.

I think it depends which one you played first tbh. At least it did for me. If I'd played 6 when it came out, I probably would have found it just as revolutionary as I found 7 to be.

Exactly I never owned a SNES so I was into Phantasy Star on the genesis. When my friend got a PSX and I saw FFVII it blew me away. Just going from gameplay seamlessly into a cutscene was amazing for the time. That is why it stuck with me. FFVI I tried to play it emulator and now SNES classic but cant get into it. Not saying it isnt great but I missed that window in my life where it would of been.

VII was the first FF i played, yet i still prefer VI, IX & XII. I have never been nostalgic though.

Was going to say the same.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

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...

ravens5219d ago

... 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.

VIK212119d ago (Edited 19d ago )

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

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5219d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5219d ago

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.

Barlos20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

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.

Tapani19d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum20d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman20d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim20d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I disagree Batman

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.
