That's tomorrow.

Treezy5044470d ago

It's the 31st in Japan so that's today... unless we're living in the past or something.

Lord_Sloth4470d ago

It's the 30th in America.

Can't believe that 15years flew by so fast.... I remember getting my PS1 for Christmas just like it was yesterday.

fluffydelusions4470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

I was in the military when this game came out...time flies

RedDead4470d ago

15 years on...look how far FF has evolved

Megaman_nerd4470d ago

I just played it for the first time in 2011 but it was certainly one of the best.

Maybe in 20yrs of its existence, Square-Enix will finally do a remake before it's too late for them. Their Final game before they go bankrupt.

@fluffydelusions

Tetsuya Nomura is still @ SE. Only he can bring back the vision and talent needed for it's development.

fluffydelusions4470d ago

Problem is this isn't the the same Square that made this great game years ago...

Capt-FuzzyPants4470d ago

If you look at some of the individual people a good part of them are still there. Like Kitase he was the one who directed FF 6 and 7. But it is still a shame that Sakaguchi left.

Capt-FuzzyPants4470d ago

They're not going bankrupt anytime soon.

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.

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.
