Excellent points, more or less what I was trying to say but much better put.

I liked the characters and the places in the game. The events were up-to-date. The romance was beautiful. Regardless if they all had problems or not, each character worked together to save the world.
Thank You Polaris for this neat sig!
NO!Aeris was Cloud's love interest. Love interests in basically all non-tragic storylines never NEVER NEVER die.
1) Cloud was Aeris' love interest, not the other way around. 2) Some of the most tragic stories are those that have romance in them. Why do all FF's have a love story in them? Because it makes a good conflict, and it's easy to make. That's why. So actually, love interests do die, quite often I might add. Hell, look at Vincent. A perfect example of lovedeath. Aeris was just the only one you couldn't revive, and had great graphics at that time. So Aeris' Ides of March scene was no different that the others previous, except for the latter two reasons.
Hey Vorpal Blade, You can't forget Yuffie, Imagine her when she turns 26 or so.....eh....eh.....I think she would be a fairly destructive force.
Serpentarius.
Gameplay, story, longevity, sound.
My God, everything about FFVII works! It was simply a masterpiece. I was quite reluctant about there being a sequel that was turned into a film. But that seemed to work too.
FFVII is just plain awesome! I think perhaps the fact it was the first FF after quite an absense in the market made a difference. People created such a big deal out of it, they got more than they bargained for. I don't think Squaresoft themself realised how big it was going to be.
Personally, I loved how you get attached to some of the characters, and how one can relate to some of the events that happened along the game. Love, loss, betrayal, deception, greed and many more. It all came together so wonderfully~
It's hard for me to justify liking this game. Gameplay-wise, it is far inferior to many other FFs. However, I do like it, a lot. The story and characters make up for the lack of... well, mostly everything else. I typically like more strategic, complicated RPGs (FFT), but FF7 is just a fun game.
(SPOILER)the thing that got to me most wasn't aeris' death, it was when you lose control of cloud and he's removed entirely from the party. that was a sick turn of events.

it wasnt the first ff game i played but i love it! its got the most heart.
It wasn't the first FF I played, by any stretch.
But I was quite moved by the story. The first time I (SPOILER)watched Sephiroth kill Aeris, I felt really weird. I figured the next thing that would happen is that we all would embark on a Chrono Triggerish attempt to revive her. But we never did.
Plus, FF7 had the best mini games in the series, in my opinion. The Motorcycle thing, the Submarine, the Snowboarding, Fort Condor, Chocobo Racing... The list goes on for a while. I mean, these may not have been my primary reason for playing FF7, they certainly were awesome.
I don't think FF7 was the best. But it certainly seems to be the most revolutionary. It is the game that brought the Final Fantasy series into mainstream gaming. Prior to FF7, only nerdy guys like me played Final Fantasy. I knew many other kids my age with Nintendos and Super Nintendos, but I was the only one I knew who had any Final Fantasy games.
It wasn't like that with Final Fantasy 7. Just about everyone I knew had that game. It was weird because suddenly a Final Fantasy game was getting as popular as Mario and other popular video games.
Plus, in my opinion, Final Fantasy VII was the last GREAT entry in the series. The games after have been okay, but none stack up to what FF7 achieved.
i had played the series a bit but never really got into em until i played 7. After i completed it i had to finish the other i had played. like 1,4 and 6.
It's funny, I actually played Chrono Trigger after FF7, so (SPOILER)when Crono was killed I was shocked and expected that to be the end of it. It was a pleasant surprise and yet a little cheesy that you could rebuild him from a clone or whatever.
