In a way, Final Fantasy VII was my first RPG. For me, and millions of others, it was the game that truly made me a fan of the genre.
Though critical darling Final Fantasy VI was my "real" first RPG, It was Cloud and company who got me buying every single Square game during the 32-bit era, because they were the ones to show me that a videogame could exist on a scale that I hadn't been able to conceive of until that point. After playing Final Fantasy VII, RPGs finally "clicked" with me. I know I'm not alone.
Many games have come and gone as gaming began its illustrious history in this world. So let's talk about the top 100 video games of all time!
Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.
Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.
Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!
CGMagazine narrowed down some of the best reviews of the year to name our top 10 games, and ultimately CGMs Game of the Year 2024!
Nearly 27 years after the original game's release, Final Fantasy 7 superfan Jamie Colliver has finished his magnum opus: A shot-for-shot remake of the original PlayStation 1 game, created entirely via LittleBigPlanet 2. Colliver's remake reimagines the original game as a platformer, with every scene, every location, every line of dialogue, and every song from the game's OST painstakingly implemented .
He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.
ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit
Same here, I had dabbled, but never really gotten into one until FF7 came along and one of my friends really pushed me to check it out.
I'm a huge rpg fan but never played any FF game
For me it was how it started off as a small game pretty linear and then after many hours later it opens up into this gigantic world and that place where you were playing for hours was just a dot on the map.
Oblivion did something similar with coming out from the sewers although it didn't take anywhere near as long to get to that point.
It's my favorite RPG, but the game that got me started was Phantasy Star II. Watching my dad play that was something magical. Up until that point, I hated RPGs, thought they were boring. Now they're my favorite genre. Thanks, dad. <3
For me FF 4 was my first game in the series & to this day is still a fave of mine. However with FF 7 it was an experience that i could not fathom at the time. The scale was sooo much larger than in past games, the characters & story resonated with the fans. The one scene that everyone remembers was a moment that defined the game...that one moment turned this from being something more than just a game.
I have always said about FF7 is that whether you love it or hate it, people can not deny the fact that this game changed peoples views of the JRPG. A once niche genre that hardcore fans loved was now becoming more recognizable & accepted by all gamers. This game defined a generation & helped the infant Playstation 1 & Sony become a player in the industry.
