Is the game perfect and every gamer who doesn't have it insane? No, you'll never hear me say that.
However FF7 is not to expensive nowadays is definitly a good game and if you're an RPG fan with a a lot of time and not to picky about grafics I suggest you'll buy this title anyways.

If you have the cash, then definitely. It was the first FF I ever played and had an amazing time with the game, it got me hooked on all the others and I would stay up for days on end playing.

FF7 is the best rpg i have ever played, i couldnt refer to you a better one, i hghly reccomend, i mean graphics arent insane, theyre ok, but the gameplay and the storyline are awesome.

I actually felt that the graphics of FF7-9 suited the franchise better than the later higher graphics... I feel this because there is something about the drawn out maps that was inspiring and imaginative, unique and eye catching. Whereas with graphics that are too good and fully 3d environments its easy to go for a cop out boring map, with lots of repetition, and less appealing and imaginative.

I'm not saying ALL maps of the later games were crap.. Soem were ok, but alot of it I felt was a little, meh.

Do you guys realize that you are all still telling someone to get a game that he/she's been contemplating over for more than a year on a forum? lol (Don't take that the wrong way because here I go as well)

I am definitely a FF series fan. I've played all the games I could find, and I tell you yes. I don't like all the people that were born after the game was made, found out that it was supposed to be good and blew it way up to the point where I truly don't like hearing people talk about how great it is. BUT...it is definitely one of my favorite games of all-time. Probably my favorite. I wish you could go into this with the mindset that it is supposed to be good. That's all. Turn the "greatness" off and just enjoy a great game.

Oh yeah and guys, stop bitching about the graphics. The game came out ten years ago they were unbelievable graphics for a game so huge in that time. Once again, probably people that didn't play the game until recently trying to comment...kid buy the game if you haven't already.

ABSOLUTELY! In the Gamer's Edition World Records book 2008, it clearly states that Final Fantasy VII is the 2nd most popular PSX game ever made (behind Gran Turismo). FFVII is the kind of game where the memories of you playing it sticks in your mind for years, and puts a heart warming story into your heart. I think it is a great gaming experience.

definitely worth buying and besides if you can find it anywhere its probably cheap by now eh?

Final fantasy 7 is a must buy game and it has a very touching story line that makes you want to dig deeper into the game and keep on playing.
Its the number one RPG in my opinion!

yea i would say get it D: it was really fun and it hooked me onto it storyline is beautiful
