Final Fantasy VII

released on Jan 31, 1997

Final Fantasy VII is the seventh main installment in the Final Fantasy series, and was the first title to feature three-dimensional graphics, pre-rendered backgrounds and numerous full motion videos. The gameplay is a departure from previous entries in the series in many ways. Though it retains the Active Time Battle pseudo-turn based menu command system, FFVII features three party members rather than four. The Materia system allows the player to customize each party member's abilities to their liking, and the Limit system grants them unique combat skills. Though minigames had been a recurring feature, FFVII introduces numerous new ones, many of them playable in the theme park Gold Saucer varying from racing with Chocobos to snowboarding.

Possibly my favorite game of all time.

Canonically, Aerith is Cloud's true girlfriend. However, canonically, Tifa is Cloud's true wife.

Would be a 5 star if the graphics weren't so out of date.

As pessoas falam para um caralho desse jogo, mas ninguém menciona a mensagem predominante em toda a obra, essa sendo : ser twink da muito poder

Final Fantasy 7 is a game that has been with me in every stage of my life. It was one of the first games I saw when I was sentient, watching my brother play. It was something I dreamed of beating as a child and struggled with on the crappy PC port of my extremely weak family computer. It was something I revisited in high school and college, appreciating it more each time. I picked up a significant amount of Japanese watching and listening to Lets Plays of it in Japanese, discovering some of my favorite JP streamers through it. The remake was there for me when I was depressed during Covid lockdown. Rebirth was waiting for me after I had gotten through a particularly rough patch at work. I love Final Fantasy Seven

If the San Junipero thing from Black Mirror was real my digital soul would retire to my bedroom at Christmas in 1997 to play this game for eternity.

This was a formative game for me in my youth. The visuals, the combat, the story, it was all something that I had no experienced before and despite not knowing how to read for the entire first disc, it kept me coming back.

This and MGS1 changed my perception of gaming as a medium and it formed a taste that I still possess to this day.
