FFVII - Worth Getting?

Since this topic crops up so much, I figured I'd make a topic and sticky it.

Is this game worth getting? Please post your replies so that people who cannot decide can read this to make their decisions.

Um, interesting font...

I guess it really depends on your personal tastes. I love FF7 and its one of my favorite games. On the other hand, I didn't enjoy X that much. If you've played through most of the first disc and you're not really interested then I doubt you'll enjoy the rest of the game.

FF7 is the best of the series. Definitely worth playing. Yet after playing the later FF's you might not like it.

7 is seen as being in the best in the series, IMO it isnt. But it is worth playing, however with a busy lifestyle, 3 disks is much.

FFVII is the pinnacle of the series for me. Better characters, better story, more complete gameplay. The same old arguements.
I'm surprised that by that point it hasn't gripped you. Usually by then, everyone loves the game. Maybe it isn't for you then...

It all depends on what you want to do. I'm surprised it hasn't hooked you even more easily then what X did though. In my opinion, VII had better gameplay and a better story also.

But then again, it was the second FF game I played after IV. I got hooked around the Sephiroth Story that got told in Kalm mind you.

Well if you have tones to do with your lifestyle and want to play more High defination game's and what-not to; what you say; keep up with gaming then I would definatly abandone it at that...

It is. FF7 was voted the best game ever hence it is the best Final Fantasy.

It was her opinion. Any supposedly factual information can't change another person's view of the game.




If you played the game up to that point, and are asking other people whether it was worth completing, then perhaps it isn't the game for you. For the sake of having another FF title under your belt, I'd say go for it. It's quite a compelling game once you get into it, whether it's your favourite or not.

Well, in my personal opinion VII is definitely worth playing. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm totally hooked. You say you have played through most of disc one and that it hasn't hooked you. But maybe later in the game your interest will spike as I understand there's enough plot to go around. Just do what you instincts tell you.

I suggest you play all the FF games, especially 7, 8, and 9. Why? Just because it's Fi
