EuroGamer: "The original hyperbole of the experience still dazzles. As the gaming world marvelled at a new 3D dawn, Final Fantasy 7's stentorian soundtrack, epic summoning spells and soaring storyline seemed to draw itself up to the huge potential of disc-based games and 3D worlds. Today, those achievements stand, as does the memorable geography of the place. From the undulating peaks that can be circumvented in an airship to underwater caverns, explorable only via submarine, Final Fantasy 7's universe is as deep as it is broad - and as unforgettable as it is divisive."
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.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... 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.
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

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
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.
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.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
9/10 IMO but if the graphics were updated then it would be a 10 out of 10 for sure
Playin it on my vita right now!
How many times does this game need to be reviewed?
^^^^That's the only thing you need to read. =)
I have fallen back into love with jrpg's after getting a little burned out (didnt help that there was jack shit for a few years). Xenoblade, Kingdom Hearts DDD, The Last Story, and Tales of Graces F all in a short time frame. Xenoblade made me remember the awe of a massive world and epic sci-fi saga. The feel of knowing i was embarking on a daunting 100+ hour journey. The Last Story gave me the beautiful scenery (stargazers tower) and the romance ive missed since FFX. Kingdom Hearts gave me an overly complex nonsensical story that will take 3 more side games to explain (and plenty of zippers!). I popped in Lost Odyssey after none of these (despite how amazing they are) scratched the itch that games like classic FF's scratched. OMG its still one of the best traditional jrpg's ive ever played. I forgot how utterly beautiful the soundtrack was and the intro was the best intro of any game ever. FF needs to go back to the 7-10 days. Il have to settle for replaying this game on my vita for now and Lost Odyssey on 360. Hopefully Bravely Default is awesome and gets localised along with Type-0. Come on square!!!
