I didn't read all of it, but I have to give you credit for correct usage of that Shakespeare line.

Also FFVII is just a fun game. Technically flawed and unpolished in some aspects, certainly, but a very enjoyable game with fun characters. The first disc ranks up there among the best JRPG experiences in the genre (of course some aspects, especially story-related, get worse after that). I just ignore the rest of the compilation.
