This is why I rarely refer to FFVII as a game, but as an epic story that could go up against Gone with the freaking Wind. No matter what time in the game, you always feel the same emotion as Cloud. When Cloud is mad, you are mad. When Cloud is confused, you are confused. When Cloud is sad, well, fill in the blanks.Originally Posted by Vyk
FFVII is not a game, it's more a way of life, like a religion. My life started to convert into an FF world when i started playing it. Ever since, i have been a fan to the core.
FFVII has this ability to draw you back for more, even when you've completed it.
Because it was my first Final Fantasy hence as far as Im concerned its better than all the rest. Its fun.
It's vastly overrated and all the other FFs are just as good.
its a drug... an addicted drug, Heavier then Cocaine, stronger then Heroin.. A new kind of addiction.
You are Bahamut! You are King of the Dragons, and
rightfully so, for few can stand up to your
Mega Flare. Everything about you simply
screams "bad ass."
What Final Fantasy summon are you?

yup, FFVII was also the loss of my virginity in reference to Final fantasies and/or freakin rediculously good games. I dont know about you guys, but has anyone played Disgaea: Hour of Darkness by Atlus? that is a Tactics-esque game (another game i love) and is really good plot-wise, humor-wise, and gameplay-wise
sorry for that specific metaphor, but i thought it was needed....

Of all the games that i find well worth the work, I can only say that three can properly qualify for the category. And of the three, one is, but of corse, FFVII. The other twon games which i couldn't depart from are Xenogears and FFT. And i also found a pattern, All of which were released 1997 or 1998 and were on PS. I have lost some faith in Squaresoft when they merged with Enix, they no longer adapt a well-thought plot as nearly as much as the older titles. And thus, I say to you Square-Enix, "Up yours!"
yep, i lost my virginity to FF too.....no, i meant, ......argh, the same way Khimbar did....
anyways, ever since, i have never been the same. i have been to martial arts lessons and learnt how to handle weapons, well, basic hand combat weapons training........kinda sad??
I love that world to the core! I love all the FF's but VII will always hold a special place to me, not only was it my first FF but it was the game that turned me into a gamer. I was young when I first played that game, even though I missed some of the finer points of the game it filled my young naive heart with a sense I couldn’t fully understand, I loved the story and I really attached to the characters. If VII is a drug then I am a junky, I have played that game many many times and never get tired of it. if you love FF VII then you know the sense it fills you with when you play it, like you have touched onto a new world, if you aren’t a VII fan then I am sure you have a game like that and it is a sense that everyone should experience.
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
I maintain that FFVII recieves far too much undue praise. Other games (some even in the same series!) did better in certain areas and came out earlier. I don't dislike the game or anything, I just feel that as an overall experience, I didn't like it as much as many of the other games. I could go on and on to elaborate my points, but I'm not much in the mood for that. Let's just say that when you've been playing games as long as I have, you see things from a different perspective. If FFVII was your first FF, you're going ot see it differently than if FFIV or FFI were your first FF. I've been talking to the local game store clerks here, who, like me, started off with the NES (some of them even before that!), and they all say the same thing: FFVII is fun, but it's just not as fun as the earlier games.
Reasons why its to awesome?
Although there was 6 before it, It was what brought it mainstream.
Extremely detailed world in depth and plot, everything had a plot, motive, personality, reasons and secrets. Characters was even developed long after they left the party for good. (Hint).
The world had alot of history put into it, granted FF8 had alot of history and lore too.
The main plot was extremely well developed and complex(It took me YEARS to figure it all out), the Characters all had diffrent motives and was well spaced out in joining your party. There was many sub plots, and many diffrent villains to contend with, BOTH Shinra, Its Turks, Weapon and good old sephy. It has so many mini games its unbelivable, and a replay value - Im still playing it after 8 years, how many other games can boast that?
It was good at using emotion within it, the soundtrack was exellent, and when it was released the graphics was revolutionary, (granted now people go UGH! I know its 8 years old, but it should have x-box standard graphics!) It was one of the first games like that, not the first, but one of them, with a 3d world and FMV a huge jump from snes and megadrive.
and finally, as it was stated, it was game of the year 3 times in a row, And for square it made them a HUGE profit.
Actually it's to the total opposite of 10, and alot of people played that first and go OMG! IT RULES!RIKKU IS SO CUTE IN HER NEW OUTFIT! its the same syndrome the anti-ff7 crew use on us, so go moan at them.
"NPC: Sorry this house is sealed off because of Blight"
I say its awesome because it has a brilliant story line, i felt among the characters. I played it non-stop.
its all stereotyping here. i loved ff7 and love ffx, although ff7 is better in my opinion. I think Vyks opinions on the game are the closest match to mine.
