The best game ever made.

First Played on the Playstation, this game was my childhood.
Then on the Xbox 360, complete run, maxed out stats and materia.
And now on PC, With 7th heaven Mods.
Thousands of hours of fun.

One day I won't be here anymore, but this game will, and that's fine.

Advice to new players, you can remaster the game yourself with 7th Heaven launcher, it's much more enjoyable.

After a long time I finally saw this game to the end, as someone who played Remake first this was a different experience. Cloud is written better and I am not a fan of how the story was changed in Remake because the timeline is different. Not saying Remake isn't a good game it's just really confusing to new players...

Even though I knew the entire story already, it was overall a good game, strong story and fun combat mechanics. As I wait for Rebirth to be ported on Steam, I will finish crisis core and rewatch advent children. Another thing that I dislike is how the Tragic Zack scene is hidden in Disc 3 when you revisit the mansion library. It should have been a story cutscene since it's such a important lore bit that makes you understand cloud's dilemma even more.

big sword, me like

"sephiroth, youve forgotten one thing.... i think its time i show you my final fantasy 7!"

It has been over 20 years since I played this game for the first time, I have always wanted to go back and replay it, after many attempts over the years I always seem to put it to the way side while life gets in the way, not sure why but I recently turned 40 and I thought it was a good time to give it another serious attempt.

Oh boy, I tell you what, I am so glad I did! Final Fantasy Remake was a good game but just didn't hit me like this original version. The nostalgia is off the charts and I am having so much fun, its currently 4am, I have no work tomorrow and I just finished breeding the Golden Chocobo and got the Knights of the Round summon. I cannot think of the last time I have stayed up all night playing a game like this, just like when we were kids when this came out and we stayed up all night getting the Knights of The Round. It has just brought me so much joy to relive it.

Okay nostalgic ramblings aside, this is still a very good game, the story is interesting, if not a little bit strange, the characters are so memorable, the music is great, the game really was ahead of its time, I would say it has a lot of things we take for granted in modern games that this was pioneering. For example being able to use vehicles to traverse the world, there is a buggy, boat (kinda) an airship and chocobos.

Difficulty wise its not really that hard for any one accustomed to any of the more modern FF games, its just a bit convoluted in parts and in my opinion there is no harm in using a guide to help you through it. The combat might turn some players off, personally I prefer it to the new games just something charming about turn based combat, with cool spells and awesome summons.

The graphics, now this is where people are going to be turned off almost immediately. Without mods it is UGLY as sin on a modern display, I would say almost unplayable. There is hope however, I utilized the 7th Heaven Mod Manager, it comes with all the mods you need in its catalog just search for which mods to install on Google and OMG this looks like a brand new game, the modders have done an absolutely OUTSTANDING job bringing this game into the 21st Century honestly it has to be seen to be believed, even the cut scenes have been revamped and everything looks outstanding.

Okay, well if you have read my review which I doubt anyone actually will, thanks and if you have never played FFVII before please give it a go and make sure you include 7th Heaven visual mods have a great time, I hope you love this game as much I do.

My GOAT game.

Amazing cast of characters, great story, fun combat, beautiful world, best soundtrack, jaw dropping cutscenes, revolutionary for it's time.

Some things do not hold up well, such as the graphics and random battles etc, but there are mods to fix them.

Will never forget this game.

played remake first and just wanted to give this one a try, its amazing graphics are garbage but have some charm gameplay is much better than ff8 and 9

great game, full of nostalgia moments and an epic story

best game in the world

Such a beautiful game!! 100% recommended
