Doesn't this game has the most beautiful landscapes?

I agree...and can you imagine what they'd be like if they actually redid the entire game in the way they did that tech demo? Jesus.

[boys from the dwarf]

Yeah. the land scapes are the most emotional in the entire ff series

[Khimbar]

yes, that would truly be amazing

Everything about this game captured me somehow. I look back and realize how simple it was... but they used what they had VERY well.

[Destai]

I liked Midgar and City of the ancients. But Im weird like that.

There is something amazing about the way in which actions and scenes from real life were captured in the FMV's. The way the wind blew store signs when Shinra No. 26 left the launch pad, the way the earth looked from outerspace and the escape pod, or just how mountains looked like mountains and rivers looked like rivers, even as PS 1 graphics. The best part is that you can see them all over and over again. I never get tired of it.

The best landscapes are midgar,city of the ancients,rocket town and the golden saucer. The golden looks even better when ruby weopons wandering around there. the under water lanscape is cool but i try to steer clear of it because ive not prepared my characters well enough to beat emerald so it gets annoying if im underwater and then emerald sneaks up on me. But what confuses me is when i first got the submarine i went underwater and saw emerald but i didnt know it was him. It was floating completely still in an underwater crater and i bumped into him .i hit a force field and was blasted back and then the battle started. he creamed me. then i went back under water and went back to the crater . he was gone and then he sneaked up behind me and killed me again. how come he was released from that forcefield?

I agree, the landscapes are beautifully done. There are even more that are just as great as those three.

[KoShiatar]

Not only that. Every single scene is beautifully made in this game. I've been really impressed since the very first minutes of gameplay in the reactor. It perfectly conveyed the sense of darkness, claustrophoby, and alienation, and the music made it perfect.

i just loved the scenery especially the corel area, the music just went so brilliant with it there it brings a tear to your eye that the emotion of that scene has never been equalled in any game ever.

:choc:

This helped the game become "more than the sum of its parts" ^_^ And helped give the game a personality I utterly adore...

[BackRoomKid]

FFVII landscape seems to be very moody and intimidating...never noticed 'till now (and after this photography course i'm taking...it gives a new appreciation)

[Ravenmorghane]

I have to agree that the landscapes and scenery were fantastically designed.. they looked so magical and created a mood you could almost feel around as if you're there. its so hard not to get caught up in the whole thing. Although the game was graphically advanced for its time anyway some scenes were almost PS2 standard if anyone noticed when the junon cannon is fired.. it looked amazing!
As for the music.. that needs a whole new thread entirely I think personally, but the music perfectly matched and created mood for every single scene, especially boss fights! And Aeris' tune moved me so much that I learnt it on guitar, I've impressed quite a few people with it!

[Armisael]

Yeah especially the one in Rocket Town,it's very beutiful!^_^

[Imperia]

Don't forget the City of the Ancients! That place is a personal favorite of mine. :)

[Dreddz]

as good as they are
I still always found that FFVIII and FFIX had better landscapes
