Summary: As good as i had heard
Comment: So some people claim that fanboys play this. That the only reason it is better than ff6 is better graphics. I bought this game ten years after its release, and i have played many modern games. I played the kingom hearts games before this. Graphics have nothing to do with this. Those that say that its good simply choose the games they are familiar with over the new games. Those that say the graphics are bad need to get over it and play games for what really matters. The graphics are classic and, while i look forward to a remake, i will always play the original. After playing the other ff games, Kingdom hearts is better than all FF games except this one. The music is outstanding, and really ties in with the story. I'm gonna buy the soundtrack someday. It helps you to feel the emotions that the characters feel. I know that most people know the shocker in the story, but to avoid spoilers i will just say that it is one of the sadest moments i have ever seen and the most emotional game ever. The story is beyond emotion, though, as you get to see the histories and reasons for fighting for every character. You might not see Vincent as much as others but there is a ps2 sequel all about him. The world was amazing and finally unique in the sereis. Gameplay is better than turn-based but not as good as FF12 or better yet kingdom hearts. And don't think the emotion makes this corny; FF10 try to be emotional and comes out as cheesy. FF7 can make you cry (or want to if you are tough enough to resist) without really trying to make you be emotional. The game has the darkest mood in it and Cloud has become my favorite character for his role here, in the seques/prequels, and his role in Kingdom Hearts. Vincent is an amazing character as well. Anyways, the game has some haters and some fans, but it really is personal preference and you should play before you chose for yourself. It sells well enough, even used, so if you don't like it go ahead and sell it. I personally am still willing to pay more than i did to buy it if i had to do it again.

Summary: One of the Best Games of All-Time
Comment: Let me preface this by saying I am not a fan of role-playing games. But from the first time I saw my friend playing this game, I was hooked. The battles, though turn-based, are incredibly exciting. The gameplay is so deep that you could easily play this game multiple times with different strategies and still succeed. But the best part of the game is the story. Cloud, who wants desperately to be something he is not and never was; a hero, and in the end he becomes exactly that. Sephiroth, the fallen angel, who was a hero once but turned on the planet that he believed hated him. And the Shinra Corporation, who ruins the Planet in the name of greed and power. And each of the ancillary characters are interesting, as well, albeit some less than others. The graphics, though clearly dated, are still pretty good. The cinemas which were ground-breaking at the time, still hold up well also.
If you have not played this game by now, you probably won't be convinced by these words. But please, do yourself a favor and get lost in an amazing tale.
And I didn't even mention the great mini-games, such as Chocobo Breeding/Racing! Just play it, already!

Summary: Worst Final Fantasy Game
Comment: I am a huge RPG fan and have played all of the Final Fantasy games, and FFVII (7) is the worst. The graphics are TERRIBLE, the story is long and boring, and the music (aside from the battle theme) is nothing special. I know it is often considered to be the best FF, but I just cannot see why other than it being the first FF for Playstation and thus the first one most FF fans played. I suggest skipping this one and playing FFIX FFX and FFXII (9 10 and 12) first.

Summary: Excelente juego, Combina muchas emociones y entretenimiento
Comment: es un buen juego, tiene diversidad y es facil de entender, tiene muchos item ocultos y muchas armas, muchas magia y poderes, a su año fue excepcional aun lo es, pero, debido a su baja grafica ya se ve pueda ver desde otra perpectiva, el juego en si es bueno, pero las graficas es demasiada simple,en comparacion con esta generacion de video juegos. te lo recomiendo el juego si a ti no te importa mucho la calidad de graficos

Summary: Do not pay $75 or more for a used copy of this. Not worth it.
Comment: I own Final Fantasy VII-X and this is by far the most overrated game in the entire series. My sister told me she bought this game at a vintage store for $60 and I rushed onto Amazon.com to see if she could have gotten it cheaper. I was absolutely appalled. Don't by into the hype. This is a good game, but it is NOT in ANY way worth the price of buying it on this site. Go buy it at a garage sale for $10 or borrow it from a friend for a month or so. People who are expecting others to pay that much money for this are morons.

Long recognized as role-playing games par excellence, the Final Fantasy series gets a technological makeover in this installment (and series debut on the PlayStation). Shedding the two-dimensional graphics and limited sound capabilities of its predecessors, Final Fantasy VII features lush 3-D graphics, beautifully animated "movie" sequences, and soundtrack-quality music. Coupled with the game's intricate storyline, endearing characters, and immense yet highly imaginative world, these new advancements make for a quite an engrossing experience. The story of Final Fantasy VII centers around a solider named Cloud Strife, who joins forces with Avalanche, a group of resistance fighters, to take down an evil mega-corporation known as Shinra. (The fate of the world hangs in the balance, of course.) Truly epic in scope, this four-disc game requires a considerable amount of time to complete---this reviewer gladly gave up over 80 hours of his life to finish it. But it's definitely a rewarding adventure that every PlayStation owner should consider undertaking, especially since it's now one of the low-priced "Greatest Hits" titles. --Joe Hon Pros:
- Intricate and absorbing storyline with endearing characters
- Immense and highly imaginative game world
- Special battle system
- Beautifully animated movie sequences
Cons:
- Your friends and family may feel neglected
