My beloved FFVII

I picked this game up brand new for $10. Then soon after I noticed that it began selling at around $50 - 70. Guess I got lucky, but I'd pay $100 for this game. It's just brilliant. The story consumed me all the way. I never have cared about characters as much I have the FFVII game.

Story: The story is brilliant, Cloud an Ex-Soldier who suffers from memory loss and identity problems joins up with a rebel group called Avalanche to blow up Mako reactors that are sucking the planet dry. This is the fault of an evil corporation named Shinra. Upon blowing up all these reactors, Cloud meets a flower gilr named Areis. She quickly draws him into a world he'd never expect, and a new, much greater evil is introduced in the form of Ex-first class soldier, Sephiroth, who wants to become a god. Together, Cloud and his friends must stop Seph at all costs or the world is doomed.

Graphics: Horrible by today's standards, but I enjoy them. The characters are extremly deformed and blocky, the environments look nice in some places, though, due to them being pre rendered. They do the job.

Sound: FFVII might have the most beautiful theme song ever written. The music is great all throughout.

Gameplay: lots of exploration, random battles, and a turn based system. I like the turn based system in FFVII. It's fast and easy to manage. Not overly complex like some RPG's. It's a breeze to execute attacks, magic, and summons. All around, good old fashioned RPG gameplay.

Overall: A timeless classic. This game has touched me and I will never forget it.

Final Fantasy VII, the best chapter.

Final fantasy VII was the best final fantasy game i've played so far, too bad I don't have it anymore, But just in general final fantasy VII is the best of all of the stories, and this is the base for advent children, and durge of cerberus, and Crisis Core! (also a very very good game...)
