WGTC writes: Choosing a favourite video game of all time is harder than you would expect, but if push came to shove, a huge percentage of gamers out there would select Final Fantasy VII as their all-time favourite. Japanese role playing games were already successful to a point, but it was the seventh instalment of the series that popularised the genre worldwide and changed the landscape of gaming forever.
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?
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.

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.
"Let’s just hope the developers don’t draw inspiration from the battle system used in FFXIII. Just no."
This is going to be the biggest concern for a lot of fans. I don't mind them tweaking everything else, random battles is outdated so that can go, but I would not mind the turn based battles of FF7 with updated graphics.
"but the plot of the FFVII remake could actually benefit from some changes."
I agree, the plot for FF7 had some strange moments. There was one point where Cloud was hanging like a bat and then flew off...why? And how and why did Cloud get his identity mixed up with his friend? I don't remember details because it was so long ago but I do remember playing the game and going "huh?"
It'll be interesting to see Square's new take on FF 7.
