One piece of advice for the original poster: DON"T FALL FOR THE HYPE!
Final Fantasy VII is a great game but don't go into it thinking about what critics say. Detach yourself from public opinion and just give it a go. You will ruin this game for yourself if you take in the praise from the bulk of fans. Go into it without expectations to get the full enjoyment.
The FFVII hype reminds me of the Evangelion hype from the anime fandom. I thought the series was good but not that good. I've heard lots of great things about this game and when I played it a few years ago; I was disappointed. Why? Because fans placed it on a pedestal. I had fun with the game but it was not "THE BEST EVERZ" for me. Anyway, just give it a shot. Hype can ruin your experience; remember that.

Is this question really worth asking?? Yes, the game is worth playing. It is the best of the serries, and arguably one of the greatest games ever played. Any FF fan or RPG fan would be crazy not to play this game atleast once in their life.

VII has got to be my favourite. When I was playing it I just didn't want it to end... ever!
Anyway it's a great game but I can't determin weather you'll like it or not.

Not to say that FFVII isn't a fairly good game (for its time), but it IS highly overrated by the FF faithful. I would say beat it, and do the miniquests just for bragging rights...but seeing as how you've played X, don't expect to be blown away. My personal favorite is IX, if you've never played that one...I would highly suggest it.

*nods*
One really disappointing thing about this game is how short it is. The first two discs are story, and the last one is pretty much the last three bosses, ending FMVs, and whatever sidequests you do. Granted, there are ALOT of sidequests that can really stretch out the game, but still, i would have preferred the length to be drawn out by story rather than hunting down WEAPONS and inbreeding chocobos.
Also...it runs $70 or more...so if you're in it for the story and character development, you may feel a little ripped off. It's still an assload of fun though and much better than XII

I think it is much better because of the awesome storyline and how cool the characters are compared to other final fantasy characters.

FFVII is defiantly the best of the series, the graphics maybe appalling but the story and the entertainment factor simply make the others inferior

It is definetly worth playing. It has one of the best plots of any game I have played, and it is one of those games you just have to complete.
