I love Final Fantasy 7
I played the remake first but I can confidently say I prefer the original. The music is the main standout. Every track slaps and is packed with emotion. Combat is great with the materia system being a blast to play around with as I found combos that elevated my spells. Of course the story was a fantastic journey aswell, a quest to save the planet and to find oneself. There are so many moments I can think of in the story that are just so beautiful, the gold saucer, a certain infamous scene that was sadly spoiled for me:( and plenty of others. The only aspect of my playthrough I didn't enjoy was the grind to level up my materia and party members to fight the two end game bosses, hours of time that was not spent having fun at all. Overall, I treasure my time with Final Fantasy 7 and understand why this game means so much to so many. I know a game was worth my time when I buy a copy of it on the playstation right after finishing.
Bravo Yoshinori Kitase, on to FFX
