First let me start off by saying that Final Fantasy VII was the beginning of the next generation of gamming, and I'm not just talking about PS1 games, I'm talking about all big games of the present day. FFVII is and was the blueprint for all the "next generation" games of today. Now that's out of the way let's talk about the game. FFVII is still the greatest RPG of all time, graphically the game shows it's age (circa 1997), and the game play isn't exactly the easy moving/user friendly style we're used to today, but those so called draw backs don't hinder the awesome story, the great fantasy atmosphere, and the wonderful characters including Cloud, the quiet and reserved hero of the story and of course Sephiroth, who is in my opinion the greatest bad guy gamming has ever seen (any fan of this game knows what I'm talking about). I'm not going to tell you about the story because I don't want to ruin a great experience, just take my word for it, Final Fantasy VII is still my favorite video game of all time and if you give this masterpiece a chance you won't be disappointed. Five stars!
