I don't even know where to begin.  This is the game that made me want a PlayStation in the first place.  The story....jeez, it's better than most books.  It has so much, so many twists, and lots of unexpected surprises, that once you finish this great game, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll go to everyone and say "I JUST BEAT FINAL FANTASY 7! YES!"  It's that good. The FMV is excellent, I wouldn't expect anything else for Sqaresoft, and the music fits the mood.  The in-game graphics could use some work.  They have blocks for hands and have no mouths, but it's the graphics are not THAT important.  With battle, don't expect this to be a shooter or anything, the battle system is called Turned based.  That means that each character has a meeter, and when it fills up, they can attack, cast magic, summon a monster, or whatever.  One annoying thing about battles, is that when you walk around, there are too many random battles.  One fun thing to do is equiping weapons, armor, and materia.  Materia is the magic get to use.  It's also the summons.  The game world is HUGE.  It is.  And there is so much to do, that the list is nameless, and it's just like a real world.  There is also a place where you can breed chocobos, they are giant birds.  Doing this takes a long time, but it's very rewarding.  THat's just one of the things you can do.  Trust me, GET THIS GAME!
