Buying a game that was trash back in 1997 is a damn good excuse.

Three good moments of ff7 are the shinra stairs, motorcycle, and the golden saucer. If I can only play those moments, I'd consider buying it again.

Final Fantasy VII

The introduction to Midgar with a nice overhead

Bombing a plant and committing terrorism

Ghost train yards with a couple making out

A giant looming satellite dish on top of a giant plate structured above an entire neighborhood to remind them who's boss

Sector 7

The beginners room

The chapel

Going to Aerith's home

THIS GUY ARE SICK

The wallmarket

Stealing your way into Don Corneo's mansion

Going back to Sector 7 to find they're going to kill entire sector just to wipe out Avalanche

Jessie, Biggs, Wedge RIP

Swinging from the plate explosion on a fucking cable

Climbing the wall to Shinra HQ with this amazing music playing, graffiti everywhere, ominous atmosphere

Sneaking into Shinra HQ

ALL THE FLOORS and the entire thing being one giant dungeon with their own safety and hostile zones

Being confined to prison

The blood trail

The escape

The fucking wicked boss before you leave.

Seeing the field for the first time.

And that's just five hours.

THIS FUCKING GAME.

More action and awesome jam packed than the entire of FFXIII.

BEING 12 YEARS OLD AND EXPERIENCING ALL OF THIS

I may consider buying this on Steam for my replay, alas I have the original psx version so I have no reason to. Are there any good mods for FFVII pc,like say, DIFFICULTY mods?

i find his introduction hilarious and his plot twist to be amusing

the rest of the character i don't care but his plot contribution is probably smaller than yuffie and vincent put together so it's not like he's hurting anybody

Himu · « **Reply #29 on:** July 04, 2013, 01:56:11 PM »

But Yuffie has a really fun side quest and Vincent has an interesting story at least.

yeah that's what i meant with "his plot contribution is even smaller than yuffie and vincent" they are optional character and they still have more line than him

anyway he certainly has the spiffiest character theme of all the party

Himu · « **Reply #33 on:** July 04, 2013, 02:03:48 PM »

I DO love his theme. Also I love the entire coral prison town segment. Fantastic all around. I remember getting stuck in the desert on the way to Dyne so many times. Playing without a guide, we had to trade tips at school. Really social experience FFVII was.

I always felt that Satoru Kosaki would be perfect to take over from Uematsu. He's done a bunch of Namco games and his range is great.

Himu · « **Reply #41 on:** July 04, 2013, 02:38:16 PM »

No one cares, Momo. Final Fantasy VII.

I'm considering getting the steam version for this difficulty mod:

http://forums.ffshrine.org/f25/final-fantasy-vii-rebirth-comprehensive-rebalance-both-77714/

Quote

Features
Entirely new materia, including Water, Air and Pearl.

Tactical battle system with a renewed emphasis on statuses and elements. Monsters belong to 'classes' with consistent and intuitive status / element vulnerabilities. Remember your frustrations trying to get Sleepel to hit, only to find out this particular giant insect can't be put to sleep? With Rebirth, that's a thing of the past.

Status magic finally worth using

Entirely new enemy AI. See squad leaders improve the intelligence of their friends, see monsters look after each other, prioritize their safety and make smart combinations of status effects. Creatures can now inflict stop before using deathblow, take out hobbled party members and reflect magic off themselves.

Entirely new weapons, including multi-hit weapons, status-inflicting and elemental arms, double-edged equipment (like the black cape, which boosts stats yet prevents healing)
Rebalanced mechanics - restrictions on multi-casting, pruning of overpowered attacks and promotion of neglected abilities

Entirely new enemy skills, many double-edged for tactical, engaging gameplay. See how Tsunami harms both party and enemy, how Magic Breath toggles all statuses, good and bad, or how Purge Flame heals all negative statuses at the cost of HP damage

Control Sephiroth and Vincent in his limit!

Play with better individuated characters, who actually play differently and possess radically different stats

Use new limit breaks, such as Nanaki's and Yuffie's bolstered final attacks

Play against more threatening, far smarter opponents

I think the difficulty is the game's only big flaw. If it were harder, it'd be a top three FF for me.

Looks and plays like Final Fantasy VII. There's nothing wrong with it, but they didn't really add anything either. You can play it in 1080p, if you want to see some derpy character models in HD running through 360p backgrounds. All five polygons look sharp enough to cut you.

why oh why couldn't we be living in a world where console RPG's had their breakthrough with a different title, heck, why not a non-existant console port of Fallout (also 97), console peeps liked that when they finally got to play it.
