How Final Fantasy VII Got Made

When work began on Final Fantasy VII over 15 years ago, director Yoshinori Kitase didn't have much to go on besides the idea that something "new" was just around the corner. "We started working on FFVII when the PS and Sega Saturn were already out, before the Nintendo 64 was a presence," he said in an interview with Famitsu magazine published this week. "There was a real buzz in the industry that the 3D era was finally here, that the heyday for CG was coming."

i find it funny when i read 1up's baseline. "where gamers call home" more like "where 'fanboys' call home". and i got 5 points and i am ranked "a Nooblet".

Its strange, the first time I saw this game in action at a friend's house I thought the graphics looked really lame. The backgrounds are static after all and the character models are pretty simple. I actually bought the greatest hits version cause I didn't get a playstation until after the dualshock controller was already out.

Once I actually started the game though I was blown away. I had played a lot of rpgs prior to FF7 but there was no real comparison. The soundtrack on FF7 is simply epic, I think that drew me in more than the graphics did (although after watching a few cut scenes I was pretty blown away). Of course the storyline was also stuff of legend, a pure pleasure to see unfold through the game.

I still consider FF7 to be my personal favorite rpg ever, as my avatar advertises.

I don't know how many times in the past 13+ years wonder if I will play ever again a JRPG that will be so "EPIC" so "AWESOME" so "MARVELOUS" so "MANY-OTHER-WORDS-OF-PRAI SE" like FINAL FANTASY VII & Xenogears, in the end never happen.

I sure find some games that they r truly epic at least for me like Suikoden II, Legends of Dragoon & 2-3 others it's not so many because works of art just cant happen all the time (unfortunately for us) but none came even close to make me feel like this 2 games that I truly love and I will never forget for as long I live the experience was so strong.

"If" & I say "if" there is still some1 out there fan of JRPG's that didn't play this 2 games yet then I MUST tell u this "U DONT KNOW WHAT U MISS" find them, play them & see what happen when once every a decade a true piece of Art is born.

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit123123114d ago

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!

RavenWolfx113d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan64112d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.

The effort here is impressive. Hope it doesn’t get taken down.

He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.

solideagle324d ago

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

gleepot323d ago

I love seeing projects like this. So much passion and time.
