Legend of Final Fantasy VII

[AquaParade]

Love it or hate it, Final Fantasy VII has definitely reached a legendary status in the gaming community. I ask a simple question: Does it hold up?

Would you still play this game today? Did you appreciate it when it was released, or does it's fame make you want to blow up every playstation on earth?

Had I had the time, and my playstation with me to the UK, I'd still play it. I love the game, and the story ain't that hard to follow as many want to believe.

Any FF game after VII, I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. Except FFIX, I like that one. And I haven't tested the MMOs.

I think it still holds up--I played through the entire thing again last year and enjoyed it once again. Certainly the graphics aren't that great compared to today's games, but it's still a blast to play.

But Square-Enix know how to milk on it's success. Not played the spin-off games, but the two movies are well made. Thought Advent Children is not a good stand alone film, but it's just a eye candy flick

Until FF14 I have never hated a Final Fantasy game as much as that 7 :o

Gott admit, the real reason I created this thread was for help deciding whether Final Fantasy 7 Would be a worthy purchase on PSN. But Now I am considering Final Fantasy 9, or even Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Thats funny because FF7 and Symphony of the night were the first two games I owned for the playstation! I still play symphony to this day.

[AquaParade]

That is funny! They look like the best classic psone games, for me, on the whole network. Makes me realize how good the ol playstation days were.

Also makes me realize just how awesome some of Japan's most prominent game franchises are. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Devil May Cry, Mega man...

I played it for the first time 2 years ago and I loved it and so far it's the only FF game that I've finished, working on FFVIII now and after that I'll start with FFIX.

There's a lot if you include the spin-offs

DAMN! I kind of want to try out Final Fantasy game to try to expand on what I play. I've never been to big on RPGs.

I played it through about a year ago again with PSP. I think I've completed it about 6 times or so, but haven't killed all weapons every time. The first time I played it was 13 years ago, loved it almost immediately, but since I hadn't played other FFs or similar games before that, I was sometimes stuck for quite a long time in some boss, the first one being the robot in an elevator in Shinra building. Others were at least Materia Keeper (must've been the longest time I was stuck), Demon Wall and Carry Armor.

Final Fantasy VII is easily one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. It's not the best, though. Xenogears is.
