Final Fantasy VII Voted Push Square Readers' Greatest Ever Game

Push Square: "We, along with the rest of the Push Square community, were screaming like little girls when Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced for the PlayStation 4 during Sony's jaw-dropping E3 2015 press conference. It's fitting, then, that little over two months later, the original PSone version of Final Fantasy VII has been voted as Push Square's Best Game of All Time."

Agree, 2nd place would be FF VIII :D

Asuka3181d ago

i can respect that. Though imo, FFVIII will also be #1 for me, but FFVII was a real game changer back in the day and I can't wait for the remake.

Thunder_G0d_Bane3181d ago

I'm actually waiting for this to be ported to the iPhone so I can finally play this game. My journey to and from work will be interesting :)

I was on the zelda side of things Ocarina of Time remains my best rpg ever. I did however enjoy final fantasy 9 on psOne didn't get to complete it tho.

* Only ever got to just outside of Midgar, then kept getting One-Hit-Killed by that dumb large monster thing on my way to next village like 15 times in a row so I just quit.

Loved most of it up until that point though.

I get to play FF7 remake and have over 50% of the game be brand new to me, so at least when I play that, I won't have the entire game spoiled for me.

Yes I know about her.

ameliabaz3181d ago

If you quite just after leaving Midgar, I have some good news for you.....at least 90% of the game will be new for you. You're only at the start of the game :D

BG115793181d ago

Everyone has a different FF.
In my case it would be in other 6, 7, 5 and 9.

mark_parch3181d ago

have to agree. such a great experience paying that game as a kid

Der_Kommandant3181d ago

There's a LOT of masterpieces out there and i freaking love FF7 but greatest game ever? i doubt it

ninsigma3181d ago

People will say that about any game. Problem is games are good or bad depending on who you talk to. And this isn't official by a long shot either! Its personally my favourite game but there's loads out there who disagree. Doubt there could ever be an official "greatest game ever" but ff7 would definitely be a contender along with ocarina of time apparently (gotta get round to that one on the 3ds).

miyamoto3181d ago

Congrats Square and Sony for such an awesome game.
Now if FF6 and Legend of Dragoon can be remade....

Name Last Name3181d ago

...and Brave Fencer Musashi while they're at it.

BG115793181d ago

FF6 remade with today's standard!!! Oh my freaking God!!!
I want it!!!!

If we are going to ask for remakes, let ask for Chrono Trigger!!!!

miyamoto3181d ago

Oh yeah.
EXTREME MEDIEVAL WAR EPICNESS!
With epic storytelling, lovable characters and fantastic operatic music.

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?

ravens5217d ago

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.

MrNinosan17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

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

ravens5217d 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.

VIK212117d ago (Edited 17d 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 🤣

ravens5216d ago

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

ravens5216d 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.

Barlos17d ago (Edited 17d 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.

Tapani17d ago

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

Rebel_Scum17d ago

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

I_am_Batman17d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim17d 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_Scum17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I disagree Batman

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.
