No dude, you are totally wrong FFVII is Da Bomb Yo!
You are Almost totally wrong, but i agree with you on 1 or 2 things that you consider bad
You are mostly right, but i disagree with you on 1 or so thing
You have answered my prayers, i have been telling these fools for so long that this game sucks!

Sorry, but the starter of this topic is now on my kill list.
I cant believe they said that. i cant believe they expected peeps to agree!
Bahamut, chill, I think he left anyway so there's no more point in worrying about it.
People have their own opinions.
It was an early PS1 game...(sort of)
May I remind you that it already had 3 discs? If it had voices, then it would have like...6...whatever.
I have never played the game, so I can't really say anything else about it, but those are somethings to help...er..."understand"???
*doesn't read the vast majority of the thread*
The game was made in '97. Yeah.
Some of the music that you hear over and over again(chocobos, anyone?) can get monotonous, but for the most part, the music was very well done. For Aeris's death scene and pretty much every scene with Sephiroth, I thought the music really helped "get into the moment."Sound: 2/10
They have 5 tracks, each song about 3-4 minutes in length, and i swear, if i didn't turn off the sound and put on my favorite radio station i would go INSANE!!! a damn game that has nice CG cut scenes and spans 3 freaken disks should not have mysic that sucks so badly. and don't give my any BS that you are supposed to play the game with no sound and the radio on, the sound is supposed to help emerse you in the experience, not water it down!
There's a time limit on...two parts of the actual story? And it gives you such an absurdly long amount of time that unless you're a complete idiot you won't run out.Gameplay: 1/10
OH wow...it's just horrible, and i have played some bad turn based games (anyone remember pokemon?). the random battles are annoying, especially if you have a 10:00 time limit before you bomb goes off. at least turn that damn fearure off during that one part!!!
Press Select. Exits are then clearly marked with arrows.DAMN!!! as if that weren't bad enough, the controls are both clunky and bad. on screen you character wanders around, and you get lost easily becuase the background is drawn so well you have no freaken clue what is an exit,
Um...I don't know what games you've been playing, but in every single turn-based RPG I've ever played, you are forced to use similar attacks in the beginning. And it was made easy for newbies who complain about only being given 10 minutes to escape the first Reactor.in battle, using hte same repedative attacks so early in the game is just not right. sword guy uses bolt, black dude using gatling gun, and everyone wins no matter what. the largest ammount of strategy is knowing when to use elixer and potion. wow...so hard...the ps1 is capable of so much more...
And who uses an Elixir with a Potion?
I don't know what to say to that. That's just...wrong. Why the hell would you want voice-acting, since it so obviously sucked in FFX? The ONLY RPG to nail voice-acting is Lunar SSSC(well, and its sequel).Story: ? (it's gonna be low)/10
What is the story? i know that like 40 minutes into a game like this you should know a bit more than you do, and on top of that, what is with the text boxes? i have seen what the ps1 can do, and guess what!? it supports VOICE!!!
You don't play many RPGs, do you?some voice and subtitles would have gone a long way in helping me give a damn about reactors sapping away the planets magical energy or life fore or whatever.
Obviously, since apparently you've never played an RPG before.as far as "character building" goes...i have no seen any. and to think, i thought i was going to get something good when i read so many rave reviews. i want to get into final fantasy, i really do, but clearly VII is NOT the game for me.
I am stupider for having read all that.
Wow.......this thread makes me sad. But in regards to the gameplay getting a 1/10 you must be joking. You say there is no strategy involved in beating this game???? Try actually playing through it and defeating bosses like Demons Gate, Lost Number, (SPOILER)and ohh yea, don't forget Ruby and Emerald WEAPON SO with that said i believe you should bow your head in shame now.....j/kGameplay: 1/10
OH wow...it's just horrible, and i have played some bad turn based games (anyone remember pokemon?). the random battles are annoying, especially if you have a 10:00 time limit before you bomb goes off. at least turn that damn fearure off during that one part!!! DAMN!!! as if that weren't bad enough, the controls are both clunky and bad. on screen you character wanders around, and you get lost easily becuase the background is drawn so well you have no freaken clue what is an exit, and what isn't. and if your charcter is not being hung up on an invisible wall, or box, or...air, then we would have slightly less of a problem. in battle, using hte same repedative attacks so early in the game is just not right. sword guy uses bolt, black dude using gatling gun, and everyone wins no matter what. the largest ammount of strategy is knowing when to use elixer and potion. wow...so hard...the ps1 is capable of so much more....

I'm not gonna reply to the initial post since it's been done a lot. Instead I will give my view on it - With too many obvious details perhaps. >>;
Final Fantasy VII marked a Before & After in the Final Fantasy story, it was the first one to include FMVs, the first one to use 3d rendered graphics, the first to include a main character with self-inflicted psychological problems and the first one a lot of people played.
It was a big jump from FFVI, system-wise and maturity-wise. Although FFVI contained a good message to think about (Kefka infamous words, "Why do people rebuild things they know are going to be destroyed? Why do people cling to life when they know they can't live forever?); FFVII's raised the level with characters that had human problems, deaths, and an ambiguous ending that is open to your own interpretation.
So in my opinion, FFVII is a good game. Although it's overrated. Very overrated.
No offence Gregoriev, but I think u have lost it, I mean FF7 was the best thing to happen to the series, oh wait I bet u think that was FF8 , no way in hell does FF 7 deserve low of a score at all.
chaos: That is your opinion, but I doubt it was the best thing. For one, when I played it, I loved it, although I found it overhyped. I could never get into that "Cloud is so kool!" thing that was going on.
Rubedo: IMO, FFIV was the best thing to happen to FF, simply because graphics, music, and plot all went up a notch. FFVI as well, but, this is all just our opinion.
Fool!
I think that FF7 is the best one, it defined all the 3D Final Fantasies. Defined! The music, gameplay and storyline were all excellent! The charcters' graphics were admittedly were not the best, but they were good for their time.
Yeah, I agree with TT on this one. The only thing that annoys me about the review is that he played 40 minutes of it. Personally, I don't think that is really long enough to form a useful opinion.That is your opinion, but I doubt it was the best thing. For one, when I played it, I loved it, although I found it overhyped. I could never get into that "Cloud is so kool!" thing that was going on.
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
I agree that the graphics are bad, but I like the music, the characters, and the story line kicks ass! You cannot just play something for a few min and expect to know everything about it! I was the same way when I first started playing, but I played the game all the way through, and now I always make it a fact to finish every game, movie, and book I start befor judging it. It's only fair, right? And I'd like to see you make a better game than VII, or FFI for that matter. I know I can't because I suck at those kinds of things, but that's a differn't story. In conclusion, you should do your "homework" befor being so quick to judge.
you do know your a complete ass right?
Who?
chaosnotRSL: I believe he was talking to the creator of this thread.
How dare you?.......
How dare you insult one of (if not) the best games of all time?! Do you not realize that FF7 was one of the few brave games willing to leave th foundations of 2D graphics and take a leap into the then unknown world of 3D graphics? Sure the graphics are a little out of date now, but they where second to none back in their day. And the gameplay and storyline are simply superub! I can still put the game in and be captivated for hours at a time with the indept storyline. I know people that cried during the legendary death of Aries.......
If all this fails to help you realize the greatness that is Final Fabtasy 7, then you should realize that Sephirath and his sick sword are way too cool to be ignored.
