Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the series I played, the first RPG I ever played and the first Square game I ever played. There were a lot of firsts going on there.

My brother rented it from Blockbuster (remember Blockbuster?) and played it a bit and as I always did back then, I watched. While he was at work I would play it and what really stuck out to me was the whole beginning with planting the bomb. I just love that mission and the mission that came after it. I would have (and still would) buy an Avalanche spin-off game if it had the crew from the beginning in it. I used to play out that scene with my Pokemon action figures. I also really liked Jessie. The stuff in the train at the start was nice too.

(SPOILER)I was so sad when they died.
