 QUITE good! April 11, 2008
I'll admit, the first time I ever played this game, I wasn't that into it. The main reason was that there, in my opinion, too many damn mini-games that were kinda hard (I STILL can't figure out how to get in line with the soldiers at the parade in I think Junon). Also, the music, while very emotional, is very very sad. So is the story... it got a little depressing to me.
But that was the first time I played it. Now I'm playing it again (this is my third time and I just beat the game about 6 months ago), and I'm finding the mini-games aren't quite as difficult; I'm not getting lost nearly as much, and I've gotta say the music's not quite so depressing anymore either. Also, I think it helps to play Crisis Core (PSP prequel to the game) or at least watch Advent Children (movie whose plot takes place about 2 years after the events of the PS game). The story is still quite sad, but it works. I think anyone who is into RPGs will definitely enjoy this one.

This is definetly one of the greatest games ever made- but remember its gotten quite old now, and for diehard RPG fans this game is not that great.
great game, but with a few flaws March 31, 2008

I have been a huge fan of the Final Fantasy saga, since the Super Nintendo came out (would have been regular Nintendo, except I couldn't get anyone to buy it for me lol) One thing I miss about Final Fantasy 7 is that you don't really go through and get random magics while you leveled up (always made me more interested when my mage would level to see what was next). Instead it has a Materia system, where at the end of each battle, you earned AP, which is required to get your materia higher level (ie the fire materia might have fire 1, 2, and 3, so you have access to more spells.
The flaw, it takes away most individualities from the FF saga. I can take my female or male characters and they hit close to the same. Everyone old-school RPGer knows the basics....keep your mage and archers (any long-range attacker) at the back of the party because they get killed easier and regular attacks do little damage, and keep swordsmen, samurai, etc at the front because they are tougher and do much more damage.
Most of the characters, no matter their past do the same basic damage, or close to it, and magics can be used by anyone, so if going to fight a bunch of monsters weak against fire (for example), everyone can be equipped with Fire 3...though admittedly it is fun mixing and matching your materia for different effects, like using the "all" materia linked to a spell, so it hurts everyone or heals everyone with 1 use, otherwise any attack spell or healing spell can only be used on 1 character or monster
With these said, it's a good game, with good storyline and fairly good graphics and gameplay, and I would recommend this game to any RPG or FF fan, even though to master takes a bit of practice
 The Game that revolutionised Final Fantasy March 21, 2008

...the artwork is bad...there...I've said it...
This was the first FF to ever become 3D and for that it should be revolutionary alone but the best part is the storyline. The characters grow on you and there is a twist at the end (if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise) and all characters are individual even though some characters are barely used (does anyone put Cait Sith in their party?).
The gameplay uses the ATB system and learning comes from the materia system which allows you to customise what characters can learn. And not to mention the puzzles from sneaking into the Dons mansion, to finding a way to defeat the Emerald weapon.
This game will keep you entertained for years. BUY IT!!!

I actually used to dispise RPG games. Then I picked p the controller and started to play FFVII. Even for a game that was created over a decade ago, it is one of the most amazing games i have ever played. Havent beaten the game yet, but im really enjoying it.
