Final Fantasy VII

[BurkeWorld]

When I played FF IV and VI, I thought they were the two best FF's ever. (Mind you, I've tried XIII, IX, and X and X-2) but seriously, out of the whole bloody series.. FF VII has to be the best one.

I've just obtained a fully working copy of FF VII for the PC and it seriously kicks ass. The graphics aren't good, but the storyline and character development is the best I've seen in ANY game.

I'm addicted to it now, I have to keep playing it. I have Cloud, Barret, Tifa and Aeris in my group now, as I've only completed about 7% of the game.

Any thoughts on the FF series?

Don't even get me started on Advent Children, that deserves a thread of it's own.

Heh, glad to hear you're having fun.

Final Fantasy 7 is a good game. It's story is very good, it's characters are loveable, ect...
It sucks that some of 'em die... but I guess that's what the writer wanted.

Overall, it's pretty good.


However, I'll still take EarthBound over it any day.

I tried playing EB, but I just don't see what's so good about it.. It was kinda boring and too silly for my liking. =\

I agree, FFVII is awesome. Though, it totally consumed my life when I played through it the first time. Man.. it's so addicting. But it does have a really good storyline. Sure, the graphics aren't that great, but I don't care about graphics when it comes to video games, as long as it's fun and has a good story.

Ahh! It has consumed my life! I just finished the first disc in one sitting.. Man I'm bushed, but the story is just so cool. Sephiroth is badass...

Ah, yes I agree. The whole FF series is pure genious, but I have two favorites. VII and X are the greatest for me, with VII taking the cake. Cloud is the best rpg hero I've seen and the rest of the cast are as good as well. For the X... well... it has great story and summon system, but I hate, absolutly HATE Tidus as the main hero. X-2... no comments.

Final Fantasy VI and VII are my top 2, for obivious reasons.

Man, my buddy told me years ago when he was playing VII for the first time, he cried at Aeris death scene... -_-

Dammit, I hate getting attached to these characters, but I can't help it.

Die, Sephiroth, die.

Well, when I saw the moment I didn't exactly cry. I just couldnt belive it. I went like:
"What the heck ?! Did Seph just kill one of my characters? This can't be happening!"
And I was really pissed that you couldnt prevent it, no fix it later in the game. Let's hope the newest edition for the new PlayStation will have a few script rewrites... for example Aeris not being sliced, or the possibility to prevent this outcome...

yea ff VII is a pretty good game but i think its kinda overrated. I like the materia and limit breaks, but i think ff VI is an overall better game.

Kefka > Sephiroth

man everyone knows the story to ffVII even people who havent played it. and if its true that you have been able to avoid spoilers about it this long on the internet, i am truly shocked

[Methid Man]

Well I've never been a fan of the FF series so I never bothered to look into the story. A friend of mine recently spoke to me about it and suggested I at least try out FFVII to start.

No spoilers period.

FFVI is way, way better than FFVII, not only is the bad guy totally insane and not just a guy who didn't have enough love in his life, KEFKA FREAKING MESSED UP THE PLANET! Seph. just didn't do that.

And Earthbound is awesome. 

[SCerviche]

also Kefka poisoned a whole kindoms water, thats pretty badass in my book.

[adam808]

I love its silliness, personally. Go get an SNES and the cart
Earthbound forever.

[SBaby]

Anyone see the PS3 Tech Demo?  Despite only being the opening scene, I can watch that over and over.  I guess that means I'm still hooked on FFVII after all these years.

KEFKA FREAKING MESSED UP THE PLANET! Seph. just didn't do that.

Spoilers ALERT!!!

Maybe we've been playing two compleatly different games, but whats that big, old bad comet that comes falling down on the world in the end of FFVII? Seph also messed up the whole planet. Not wrecked a big-ass armageddon as it was his intention, couse Cloud and the bunch (and the planets spirits including the one of Aeris), stopped him, but he still managed to mess up the world pretty good as we can see it in the ending and also in FF:AC movie. Like ruining a whole planet would be a mega-big achivement in Squares games  ....

So you're one of those time travelers, eh?
