If I were ever asked for a video game that best defined my tastes in gaming, then it's easy enough for me to point back to the Final Fantasy franchise - but if I were to pick out a single one, Final Fantasy VII would be the first one that pops right back up. To me, this game is the perfect mix of fun gameplay, a great story, and all these years later, it does more than just simply hold up.

There's a whole lot more that I do want to say about this, but that'll have to wait till later - because this was also the first video game that I remember having cried at (many of you already know the moment, considering it's been spoiled numerous times already). Yet there's also an incredible feeling of satisfaction that comes forth from having accomplished everything that you possibly could within this game - and I've only sunk more time into this more than anything.

As it stands right now, it's my favourite video game of all time.
