"You know it’s been 13 years since Final Fantasy VII came out on PlayStation and still one of the most significant things that I (PGN) remember about the game is the now-classic scene of Sephiroth killing Aerith."
"Is it the most significant death in gaming to you?"
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
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.
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.

Bro who cries over a game?
My GOD Final Fantasy 7 is the most over-rated game OF ALL FUCKING TIME. Everything thing about it!! I mean, the gameplay is fine, but CLOUD and SEPHEROTH themselves are so over-rated its ridiculous.......and now people are saying Aerith's death is the most significant in gaming? Geez, how over-rated can a game get!?
I played it, and I didn't give a dam about her death. She was there for nothing anyway.
I didnt care for a single character at all when I played that game. Final Fantasy 7 is the single most over rated game in the series. FF9 has to be the best PS1 era FF game still and it deserves more love than FF7
EDIT: also Hironobu Sakaguchi didn't work on it so that probably explains why I hated it. After he left Square died...good thing he made Lost Odyssey which is more of a FF title than FF13 lol
Well the author does agree with it being overrated but was her death the most significant is what he's really asking. Umm I'm not one to get too emotional to my games but yeah it was a pretty powerful moment.
