Replay Legend of Legaia - confirmed better than FF7 in the year 2008
Legend of Legaia! I was just reminiscing about that not too long ago. I played it some back in the Dark Ages [1999 or so], although I don't think that I ever got too far in it. It was yet another game that never got as much love as it should have because it wasn't called "Final Fantasy" or "Xenogears".
I really wish I could play it again, but my copy appears to have been lost somewhere in the sands of time and a used one off Amazon is nearly $40. Bleh.
"I hate pimps! Pimps are bad!"

do you have a hacked psp, senor?
I've never played a Final Fantasy title! :burgerking
good god this game is unimaginably gross looking. it is HIDEOS KOJIMAS. the dialogue is impenetrable, poorly translated nonsense. please remove it from the nerd gaming canon, post-haste, and give ff8 its slot.So some of the least important parts of enjoying the actual game have aged. GG keeping up the schtick.
I would imagine at this point the PSOne's low-res unfiltered texturing and Vagrant Story's bizzare interface would really make it sort of painful to play. :( I love that game, and I'm happy to enjoy my fond memories of it.Emulated Vagrant Story looks like a PS2 game (seriously), and fast-loading menus reduces UI wonkiness by a full point. :bow emulators :bow2
real talk.
I don't know why all these FF7 nerds are clamoring for a remake. If it's remade just from just an audio visual level the gameplay won't hold up at all. Chocobo breeding will probably be some sort of torture mechanism in the distant future.
Why Final Fantasy VII is Complete
by Andrew Vestal
Many have written me, concerned:
Aerith dies. You can't bring her back.
You ask that I start a petition--after all, my first one worked! Square rushed the game, you say, and released it before it was finished. Originally, you could bring her back! Make Square give us the TRUE Final Fantasy VII!
And I smile and politely go about my day's business. But, lately, I have received too many of these letters to ignore them, and I must I make my views known.
Some insist the game is unfinished, that I should start a petition to demand the game be "fixed." These people misunderstand the power of the petition.
The Final Fantasy VII Translation Petition asked for fair and equitable treatment. It asked that the game not be censored or cut; that it remain in its original form; that Americans receive, finally, a Final Fantasy game the way it was written. The petition was succesful, and I am proud to have supported it, because it asked for justice.
A petition to demand the insertion of Aerith's ressurection, however, would ask for preferencial treatment. It would selfishly demand more than others have already received. It would ask Square to retouch a finished product at gamers' whims. It would demand the artists tamper with a finished and coherent storyline. It would ask for these things out of greed, and I cannot support it.
Square offers you the Venus de Milo, and you would send it back because it has no arms.
There are rumors that an alternative, superior ending exists, unaccessible because of Aerith's permanent death. Those rumors are nothing but lies. The ending you see is the ending Square originally intended: the largest movie file on the third disc. The ending, as well, is perfectly satisfactory; there's nothing "lackluster" about it. A "better" ending (with Aerith ressurected) is an impossibility. Aerith knew her death was absolutely necessary. Do not presume to know more than she.
And most importantly . . . Aerith should stay dead.
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and
there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
- Steward Alsop
Aerith's death is a tragedy. I truly do believe this. So was Tellah's. So was General Leo's. So was the death of every person who ever sacrificed themselves for a greater cause. But unlike deaths in previous Square games, Aerith's death carries long-lasting repercussions that echo long after her passing. For Aerith did not die senselessly. Aerith meant to die.
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
- Henry Van Dyke
Aerith knew her actions would mean her end. But she faced death anyway, aware that only in death could she avert the coming disaster and save her world. She gave her life intentionally, purposefully, and with full knowledge of the consequences. No one ever, EVER forgets that; the tragedy of her loss is what keeps the small party together.
Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
- Dylan Thomas
Even in death her presence is felt. Her memory guides and leads the party on its quest. Her spirit appears in silent reminder of her selfless act. Aerith died. She died! And she died honorably.
Dear, beauteous death, the jewel of the just!
- Henry Vaughan
If Prince Hamlet came back from the dead, would his indecision be meaningful? If King Lear recovered, would we learn from his folly? And if Aerith were disinterred mere hours after her death, would her sacrifice have any importance? Square should be honored that the death of a character brings about this outcry. It is touching testament to the games' power: the characters are truly loved. And grief is a natural reaction to the death of a loved one. As is denial. Now, Square fans must proceed to the next stage: acceptance.
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain. I am the soothing, gentle rain.
When you awake in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

Aerith Gainsborough gave her life so that the world might live. May she rest in peace.
. . . she smiled, in the end.

Hmm, seems I'm alone on EB for vastly preferring FF7 to 8... yeah the game had a ton of flaws, but god damn I hated the characters, hated the Junction system, hated the story, hated the balance, in FF8. It was definitely my least favorite FF upon release but that's been overtaken by X2 and 12. But I liked the setting a lot. I haven't tried going back and replaying FF7 but I'd imagine I wouldn't be that turned off or disgusted by it, flaws like the crappy character models and bad translation would probably end up being overlooked.you are not alone.
I don't *hate* FF7 but it's definitely the worst of the PS1 trio and probably worse than FFX.same.
Drinky isn't Andrew Vestal tho
worse than FFX?

final boss is probably worst in entire series
You couldnt even die.
But yeah the Jecht fight is awesome, I love that music (though it plays at the very beginning too)

Yes, that part was pretty bad. Shouldn't dictate the entire game's quality, however. Tidus matures as the game goes on.

nah i was just joking, I loved the game
and tidus monologues, more games need monologues
translation and graphics are least important parts? especially ff7 atrocious 3d graphics?Story and graphics ain't that important to the gameplay. I played FF7 over xmas holiday and enjoyed it just as much as I ever did.

Indeed. Play FFX and suddenly FF7 will look like one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time.

It's me.
so that guy in the picture, who is he? patel? drinky? tvc? ICHI!?
Oops, wait, no, I'm not a furry, so it can't be me. My mistake.
FF7 is LITERALLY unplayable for me.

That's the sort of thing that happens when you roll around in nuclear waste...not that I know that from first hand experience or anything.
FF7 is LITERALLY unplayable for me. I bought a copy on ebay that was described as like new about a year ago because I had never played it, and the discs came all scratched up. It worked all right until I got to the part where there's a motorcycle minigame and it always glitches out for me, so I'll never be able to finish it. :(
god i make a sexy moogle :drool
My picture is hilarious,laugh at it.

One thing I wonder is, did his mom make him the moogle suit, or did he sew it himself? And which would be lamer, a high school student asking his mom to make him a moogle costume, or a high school student buying the materials and sewing one?
What's lamer? An insecure man living in isolation somewhere in japan? Or a dude having fun?the one who holds long ass grudges.
