Gaming Excellence: Final Fantasy VII Review

Final Fantasy VII remains the powerful, incredible experience that it was when it was released 12 years ago. Yes, believe it or not, it has been that long. If anything, Final Fantasy VII proves once and for all that great gaming is not based on polygons and frame rates, but rather by the power of creativity. Final Fantasy VII is just as much a triumph of imagination as it ever has been.

there a reason why they call this the greatest of its series

Kleptic5421d ago

this is one game that I will easily remember for the rest of my life...I have only played it once, back when it released...and I really have no plans of playing it again...the time and age at which i played it left more of an impact than the game itself i'd imagine...don't want to undo any of that...

it is a shame the game wasn't updated visually at all or anything...as good as a lot of PS1 games where, I do find it nearly impossible to play them anymore because they simply look terrible...games like Twisted Metal 2 and Warhawk are still great, because they are digestible in 20 min. intervals...but putting 50+ hours into a PS1 game would probably kill me at this point...the bad side of games like MGS4 and killzone 2 is fully apparent right now...

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda16d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

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...

ravens5242d 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.

VIK212142d ago (Edited 42d 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 🤣

ravens5242d ago

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

ravens5242d 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.

Barlos43d ago (Edited 43d 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.

Tapani42d ago

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

Rebel_Scum43d ago

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

I_am_Batman43d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim43d 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_Scum43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

I disagree Batman
