the story line touched me in emotional ways like red x11 findin out hes the last of his species and then he is hoping its a lie
and then yeah cloud having to witness the murder of his loved one cause a bit of emotion(tear in cornor of eyes)
and hes prayin tht he can get her bk or see her again
and barret who is praying he will see his little girl again
so they is a lot of hope and also pain

Yea, this was one of the first rpg's I started to play and enjoy. My dad had started it before me and I was only about 6. Even at 6 I was a huge game lover so I tried it out. Then another day I watched my dad play and all of a sudden sephiroth stabbed aerith. I started to feel bad watching as she died as I did understand what was going on

I loved it, the characters felt so real, I actually named my characters after my friends and I... I'm Cloud! XD S it felt like living my own adventure. I also loved the way you can choose what you say, and all the joke options, and humour, like:

Tifa: Cloud, look over there!

Cloud: The girl in the bikini? Yeah, that's really something...

Tifa: Huh? I'm talking about Hojo, what were you looking at?

Cloud: Oh, nothing.

I was cracking up!

I agree that this is one of the games that touches you and stays with you. It sounds almost corny, but it is like a good book or a good movie...just a heck of a lot longer...that you participate in. At least, that is what I thought.

What I find so enchanting about this game is how you can re-play and re-play and re-play and you can have so many combinations of the characters which tells a different story everytime. they all have their own individual comments, which makes you engage with them all the more, and it would take so long to play the game enough times to see every story. Not only do they have individual story-related lines, they also say different things depending on each other...

"First we head into the ocean, then into the air, it's been quite a day"- Vincent

He has to be the most endearing character for me, I agree with so many of the comments so far, it was a complete injustice to make him an optional character, so much would have been missed if people never found him! Like entripy, I feel so very drawn to him, as many people feel drawn to their favourites. And when you feel drawn, instead of just liking a character, that's when you know you are enchanted...

I loved this game to deaths, (yes. I said deaths). The storyline caught my interest and the characters personalities and overall characteristics really got me. THe battle system combined lots of stuff from some of the previous titles, (well, the good parts anyways), and added new stuff to throw at you.

This game revolutionized the series and revitalized it basically.

aren't we just the luckiest bunch saps in the universer toe have played one of the greatest games ever, think about it in 500 years (if we are still around) nobody will ever had played this game again left in the memories of the ancestors ff7 will live for in our hearts

I'm gonna make sure my son gets to play it when he is older. He already watches me play, and he knows quite a lot of the music too. I must be one of the only mothers in the world whoc gets tears of pride when their little munchigan sings "Seiroth, Seiroth" (exact translation, he's only 2 and a half)

Awww.... that's so cute! Good job Miss Valentine! You have started the next generation. Kudos to you!

I wish more mums would stop saying that and actually do it, like you. YOu are a prime example of a cool mom. You also have helped bring a new generation of FF lovers. Damn, I wish I can do that.
