(Replay) A legendary classic in every sense. While clunky and flawed I'm some ways (filler quests, annoying side quest design, terrible models), it nevertheless peaks as high if not higher than every story focused video game. The plot is the main star here, it is masterfully crafted, with the Nibelheim incident being the best showcase of that. The Materia system has tons of depth in terms of builds possible, great encounter design (especially after mid-game) godly OST, great cast and it is just wicked cool to experience. A new favorite.
