Nope.

The game is timeless and if people are still talking about it, it is because it is a great game.

If you dont like it dont play it and go back to Call of Duty or something.

DragonKnight4255d ago

I have to disagree. Yeah it's a great game, but like everything it had its time. It doesn't have to keep riding the same train every year. It's definitely time to move on. That is if SE can ever make a game as good again.

knifefight4255d ago

^ That last line of your post is precisely why it's still being talked about ;)

forevercloud30004255d ago

Gamers will never be able to stop talking about FFVII, it is one of if not the best RPG of all time. Contrary to the hipster/Non-Conformist Conformists out there, FFVII has done far more for the industry than any other in the series.

I love how the haters use FFVII images and clips to bring ppl in for hits constantly, just so they can bag on it and pretend its not important. Sensationlizing at it's best.

And no, everyone does not love the game simply because it was many's first. It is just that damn good. If the alternative were true, everyone should like FFI the best :/

DragonKnight4255d ago

Wrong. FFVII wouldn't be what it was in even the smallest way if not for FFIV. That game influenced FFVII in a big way and is far superior to FFVII. FFVII is extremely overrated. It's a great game no doubt, but it's not the Messaiah that people make it out to be.

In what way is FF4 > 7? It's not at all. Go and play them again and tell me that truthfully. I don't believe FF7 is "the messiah". But I believe it is the best FF for quite a few reasons. If anything THAT is nostalgia talking, FF4 doesn't have anything particularly better than FF7.

OmniSlashPT4255d ago

Crisis Core was the last FFVII game iteration...and it was 5 years ago! And Advent Children Complete was 2 years ago!

This guy makes it look like every month a FFVII related game/film/animation is coming out lmao

There were more Mario related games announced at this year's E3 than all of the FFVII related games combined!

ssj3goku874255d ago

Crisis Core was so fuckin amazing.

"Hi, new game blog in the oversaturated world of game blogs is trying to get attention by bagging on FF7!"

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda5d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5231d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212131d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5231d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5231d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani31d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum32d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman32d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim32d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I disagree Batman
