Editorial Review:
Long recognized as role-playing games par excellence, the Final Fantasy series gets a technological makeover in this installment (and series debut on the PlayStation). Shedding the two-dimensional graphics and limited sound capabilities of its predecessors, Final Fantasy VII features lush 3-D graphics, beautifully animated "movie" sequences, and soundtrack-quality music. Coupled with the game's intricate storyline, endearing characters, and immense yet highly imaginative world, these new advancements make for a quite an engrossing experience.
The story of Final Fantasy VII centers around a solider named Cloud Strife, who joins forces with Avalanche, a group of resistance fighters, to take down an evil mega-corporation known as Shinra. (The fate of the world hangs in the balance, of course.) Truly epic in scope, this four-disc game requires a considerable amount of time to complete---this reviewer gladly gave up over 80 hours of his life to finish it. But it's definitely a rewarding adventure that every PlayStation owner should consider undertaking, especially since it's now one of the low-priced "Greatest Hits" titles. --Joe Hon
Pros:
- Intricate and absorbing storyline with endearing characters
- Immense and highly imaginative game world
- Special battle system
- Beautifully animated movie sequences
Cons:
- Your friends and family may feel neglected

For me this was my first Final Fantasy experience and I am proud to say this is not only one of my favorite Final Fantasy's its also one of my most favorite rpg's. I don't give VII 5 stars because its the first final fantasy game I played, I give it 5 stars because it truly is an amazing roller coaster of excitement, emotion and even add humor into the mix as well as not being just kid friendly. Not only that but it has the one of the most memorable vilians if not the most memorable one, Sephiroth. ... Read More

Recently threw this into the PS2 and revisited what I consider to be not only the best RPG but the best game of all times... Aeris. All I gotta say. :D

Square Soft brings the Final Fantasy series to the Playstation with a gem that will (and did) change the industry. Even today, nearly twelve years later, many consider Final Fantasy VII to not only be the best game Square Soft has released, but the greatest RPG of all time. For those not familiar with the series, there were six prior releases to this one and all were considered gems in their own right. So what sets FF VII above all others in the genre?

After eleven years I'm still hooked on this game! I was mesmerised by the opening FMV,and I knew that this was going to be a special game, a game of epic proportions. With its top-notch plot,irresistable characters,pre-rendered 3-D graphics,powerful score and one of the most famous scenes in videogame history(Aeris's death scene),this was destined to be the greatest game ever made.It's like you get sucked into the story and it feels like you're a part of what is transpiring!It just forces you to become ...
