I initially thought upon beating this that it was a very strong 9, a possible 10 even.
Now I can’t imagine it as anything but a 10, as my love for this game has grown with every passing day.
I don’t know if this is the best game in the series, but the passion and magic on display never disappears from my mind, and the experience created is one of the greatest in all of gaming.
My friends who haven’t played this game reduce this game to the game where ‘insert character here gets blanked’ or ‘the one with Tifa Lockhart’ and I can’t blame them, cause thats just how it popular culture works sometimes. But this game is so much more than its twists and turns.
It remains culturally relevant with themes that get better with each passing year, characters that connect with people across the world, locations that amaze and capture artists firing on all cylinders, and music that is legitimately perfection incarnate.
I love this game, it deserves all the praise it gets from people, because even with the flaws that are present (graphics and translation) it lights a fire in the creator in me, and inspires me to leave something behind to help people as this game has done for me.
