I too favour VII over X, but they're both quality games.

I first played VII over 10 years ago now (wow), and loved it from beginning to end.

If you haven't had the urge to ever give FFVII a try, the only person you're really hurting is yourself. Not only is this arguably the best game ever, but as a fan of the FF series, it's an epic adventure with memorable characters, enemies, plot twists, places, etc...

The story carries on into spin-off's galore, but the story was so worth it. Get the original game and enjoy the awesomeness of the overall experience.

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.

Listen m8 i'm not saying you're wrong but, its not about the gameplay but its the story. All these fans here of FFVII dont care about the gameplay, they care about Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, Barret .... and all the rest. Like Barret would say : "Ya know wha' i'm &/ù%$^ sayin'???"

greetzzz SpAnX

Well, I just got it, so I hope it's good.

Might get X aswell.

Other people have probably already convinced you, but just for the sake of saying it, if you can still find it after 11 years since it was first made, you should definitely get it. The spin-offs from the game were good, but I believe nothing can beat the original FFVII game.

Well, I don't think so. The first disk is okay, then it just goes into confusement. You can get it cheap now, though... so, get it, and if you don't like it, sell it. I'd rather get a copy of IV, though...

what?!?

I know you have rights to an opinion, but that's just plain not true. The entire game is a brilliant experience and it's one I keep coming back to

I'm only about an hour in, but it's great so far!

Originally I think its worth getting... but seeing that its also cost around $80 USD for the game now... might not be really worth spending all that money.

Its definatly worth playing... so i would point in the way of an emulator if you're not willing to fork over 80+ usd for a game and system.

Someone else mentioned it but yeah you might not like the graphics and such after playing the others but, I think FFVII has the most interesting story line that keeps you wanting more. Then again.. it might have just been a by- product of an interesting plotline with alot of plotholes. lol But Square is getting around to completing the full story.

Now if only they would hurry up and tell us what Genesis is up too!

Squaresoft don't need to fill in the story, the lack of official answers I think is what keeps the fanboys interested which is has pretty much driven the games popularity.
