"Legendary", This game is fantastic, and you wont be able to put it down for a long long time. I have over 120+ hours played on my game save. Final Fantasy VII Platinum Edition features a revamped old soundtrack...that I find 2x better than the PSone version's soundtrack. Although it takes a while to adjust to the numpad controls, after playing for a while, you'll wonder how you would have done it any other way. The on-screen controls are bizarre and during scenes such as the timed puzzle in the rocket ship, you'll have a hard time typing in key combos. Materia allows you to use different magics on different characters, allowing for different characters to use Summons, Magic, and Cure. My tip: dont give up solely because of the controls---this game is FANTASTIC and although I found the console experience more enthralling and easier to jump into, the PC version was much more cinematic and was totally worth it. FF7 is by far the best game I have ever played, and you do not want to miss out on this adventure. My only tip: dont save over the same file, especially before you enter the Northern Crater--you wont be able to exit it if you do.

Replayability: ***** (Tons of extra caves, quests, missions, mini-games to find, extra materia, weapons, limit-breaks, and bosses to fight well after the game is over.)
Gameplay: ***** (Amazing boss fights, you will be on the edge of your seat during battles, incredibly fun)
Story: ***** (The plot twists, the depth in the story, the emotions...its AMAZING)
Graphics: ***** (You can view on a big resolution, better textures and stuff. More crisp than the PSone version)
Controls: **** (Takes a while to get used to, you wont want to try another control setup once you do)
Sound: ***** (Sound effects are recycled from the PSone game, BUT, the music was totally redone, and that is one of the biggest parts of this game)
Addictiveness: ***** (I stopped playing my other games for almost 4 months when I got into this game)

The best part of this game is that it is so easy to pick up and play. The Ruby and Emerald Weapons provide you with more challenge than the last boss of the game. Raising chocobos and minigames at the Golden Saucer couldnt be more fun, and this remains the only game besides World of Warcraft that I havent uninstalled from my computer. Final Fantasy VII is a keeper, and dont be discouraged by the prices on Amazon, by the time you're done with the game, you will believe it to be the best $50 you have spent on a game. I would know, because I said the same thing.

"The Best of the Franchise - That Says A LOT", Final Fantasy VII was the sort of "catch up" version of the famed Final Fantasy series. That is, Japan had released (obviously) six titles prior to this one, however, in America, only three titles had been available to us. We went straight from "FF3" to FF7! (America did not get FFs 2, 3, or 5. Here, FF4 was named "FF2," and FF6 was named "FF3." I was there from the beginning.)

Above all else, FF7 provides a fully 3-dimensional role-playing game in the classic sense (a genre almost totally defined by the Final Fantasy series), and it made a doozy. In my opinion, this is the best title in the entire franchise, and that is saying something! The Final Fantasy series is by far the greatest RPG franchise ever known, even when SquareSoft routinely majorly alters each game's concepts and gameplay. They make the best of the best, and FF7 is the "best of the best of the best." (I hold it better than ALL subsequent titles to date, as well.)

The Platinum Edition of the game provides all the nostalgia a true fan could ever want. But let's review the game itself...

First off, if you haven't played any Final Fantasy title before, the main appreciation you will get from FF7 is the ease of play. You can pick up a controller and play - the hardest part of the game is not the controls, it is the quest(s) within the game itself.

Second, if you are familiar with the Final Fantasy series or role-playing games (RPGs) in general, then your appreciation will be at the wonderful details of FF7. Truly, in all aspects, the game rocks: graphics, game play, battle and magic systems, character development, storyline, and "replayability." It's like a Beatles song: it never gets old, and it still teaches us "old dogs" new things every time we experience it. (I was born in 1977, by the way.)

Next, the storyline is so immersive. What makes FF7 so versatile is that your characters interact with their surroundings so well. For example, if you are in the snow fields conducting battle, the background view is of... a snowfield! If you are on a rope bridge and engage in combat, you see your characters fighting on the rope bridge! And the non-player characters (NPCs) within the towns and who sometimes come to your aid add excellent elements, as well.

Lastly, if all that weren't good enough, there is still one more factor about Final Fantasy VII that requires you to purchase it if you haven't done so already. Simply put, side quests. That is, the story, the graphics, and the interface are all excellent on their own, but what if you find out later that there was a hidden character - whose involvement is optional - that you hadn't discovered yet? Or what about a special weapon or magic piece which requires a seven-step process to attain? "Replayability," my friend, is what we call it. I also like to refer to it as "strategy guide required" gaming. I am the type of player that will risk it all to simply see what is inside every single treasure chest out there. I also don't mind being given the cheats, tips, or hints if that would mean I could explore and find EVERYTHING.

So don't worry, Final Fantasy VII for the PC is a smart choice - and is more cost effective than getting it for your Playstation. It will appeal to every creative fiber in your body (making you dream about it at night and wondering how you can make your own similar game - for your day dreams). The game is great for those who have or have not played it before. It's a must-buy, in my opinion.

"Simply one of the best rpg ive ever played", well 1st let me say that this game has a very good replay value. ive played the psx ver of this game. and let me say getting the pc ver. is well worth getting.. say if your psx brakes (like mines did) you got the pc ver witch will last much longer.. (and you need no memory cards on top of that) but for a price.. its price is kinda high but its for a reason. replay value ;-) & depending on what ver. of the game you get.. as far as i know there 3 diffrent ver. of this game for the pc. 1st there's the original triangle box set thats made by eidos the usa ver. 2nd theres the eidos platinum ver. witch is usa & asia vers. and last theres the EA asia pacific ver. of ff7 (witch is the one i own and yes its in english) all game patchs & mods works for all vers. of this game so there no need for worries on that part. theres only 2 probs that this game does has. the music & the gfx (graphics) well let me start with the music. if you have the psx ver of this game the music is slightly beter then the pc ver. you can get a midi synthesizer like a Yamaha XG SoftSynthesizer S-YXG50 4.0 for download on google. or a diffrent midi synthesizer of your choice.. i wouldnt use the one that comes with the game sence its kinda old.. that will make it close to the psx ver. now for the graphics is tricky if you have a newer gfx card the res for the game will look pixeled. en older gfx gard will look better then the psx ver of the game.. all i have to say is that if you love the FF games this one in my opinion is the best one ever made. parts 8, 9 and 10 comes no way near to ff7 (same go's for parts 3, 4, 5, and 6 compared to part 2 for the snes ver.) buy this game at any cost. trust me youll love this game.......

"A great game overall", Arguably the best of the Final Fantasy games, FF7 offers some great gameplay and storytelling. Admittably the graphics are not up to par with current expectations, but they aren't actually as bad as some reviews would lead you to believe. The graphics of the characters themselves are fairly primitive, constructed of simple shapes, but this does not usually pose much of a problem except in closeups. The backgrounds and cutscenes however look excellent and are occasionally quite stunning.

The port to PC of this game has a few minor problems. The Disks are mislabeled as 1 through 4, whereas the game will refer to them as the Installation disk plus disks 1-3. In addition, the default controls are somewhat awkward especially on laptops since they use the numpad which requires the use of the Fn button on most notebooks. Unfortunately these default controls must be used to access the ability to change control schemes and also each time you name a character during the game.

Also be wary that this game is not fully compatible with Windows XP, and will crash upon reaching the chocobo races. This compatibility issue is easily fixed however by downloading a patch (just search for "ff7 XP patch").

Despite these few issues this game is still a great buy. The storyline itself is very immersive and I find you spend most of the time progressing through the intricate storyline and new landscapes. Unlike most rpgs, it doesn't just become repetitive or waste your time with mindless leveling up. There are enough twists and variety to make this game very interesting to the casual or hardcore gamer. This is truly a game that defined gaming as we know it today.

"Still the best In My Book.", I have played many FF games 2,3,6,7,8 and, X. From all of these 7 still ranks at the top of my list. I guess it was the story and the gameplay. its the only one that attracts me enough to play agian.

It was so good I played for almost 16 hours straight the first day I got it, oh yeah. This is one that must be experienced by all gamers, even if youre not an RPG fan, trust me you will love it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"The pure definition of quality.", For its time, FF7 was without a doubt one of the best RPGs ever made. There is no debate on this point: FF7 was the foundation and benchmark that every RPG was judged against until FF8 was released. Every single person that enjoyed RPGs bought, borrowed, or rented this game.

You cannot, as a person with any amount of intelligence, give this game a one star rating. You might as well tell the world that you are a complete idiot before posting because in order to give FF7 one star you would have to be nothing less than retarded.

If you state that this game is only worthy of one star then you either: A) have no clue what you are talking about in terms of rating a game. B) do not like turn-based RPGs or C) played this game years after it was created and then tried to rate the game based against current games.

FF7 is the true definition of a classic RPG. This game changed the way a lot of people viewed the RPG genre and was probably the single most memorable RPG of that entire year. Square delivers quality games year after year. Sure, there are some games that are not excellent like FF7; however, Square has and will continue to set the bar for high quality games.

"Final Fantasy" was Square's last attempt because they were not making money selling games and their "Final Fantasy" turned out to be one of the best games in the world which takes us to FF7. FF7 was, is, and will always be a truly amazing piece of art: a game to remember.


"A mediocre entry in the FF series", When I first bought my PS2, I got FF10, FF9, and FF7. That was back in 2002. FF10 & FF9 I liked. Good stories & loveable characters. But FF7 was a drag.

Then I saw all the positive reviews ("best game ever"), so I decided to give FF7 a second playing in 2004, to impress me. But I still did not like it. IMHO the major flaw is that FF7 has too many "dry" sections where you fight-fight-fight and almost nothing happens storywise (example - climbing the 100-floor building of your enemy -or- the dumb section where you waste an hour finding a dress). In some sections, literally hours pass by with no story... it feels like a step backwards to the near-nonexistent stories of the original nintendo (1980's nes).

.

Also the Battle Engine - totally unbalanced. A good RPG will provide balance between physical & magical attacks, so they are near-equal. A good RPG will make each character unique with specific skills & weaknesses (like real people-some are fighters; others are healers). Not so FF7:

- it's all magic... physical attacks are worthless (about 1/4 the damage)

- and the characters are completely interchangeable. You can equip Fire3 to your man & Heal3 to your girl. And then the next battle, completely flip it around, so the man is the healer & the girl is the killer. And then flip it again! No individuality. Each character is identical. Plus *instant learning* and instant forgetting... not realistic at all.

.

Also, the story, while good, is poorly executed. It basically boils down to a meteor poisoning the planet's "health" - very simple concept - but the writer dances around & adds un-necessary complication. He takes 2+2 = 4 and turns it into 1-5+4-6+2-1+7-2 = 4. That's why so many gamers go, "Huh? What just happened?" It was a good story, but a lousy script.

Overall, FF7 is one of the weakest games in the FF series (inferior to the other PS1 game-FF9, super nintendo games FF4, FF5, FF6, even inferior to FF10). I'd recommend playing those other games first, before you touch this one.


"Best game ever but way too expensive!", Much like one of the previous reviews, I have not played this game in the longest time. However, with the sequel movie to this game coming out soon, I must once again weild the buster sword and play it again.

I have been searching my desk area trying to find the install disks for this game and have been SOL so far. But looking at the price that the pc version is going for . . . NO WAY! Don't spend hundreds of dollars on this game. Do yourself a favor and do one of the three options:

1) Buy the playstation version
2) But the limited edition version of the movie for a very expensive price, but you get a bunch of extra stuff including the playstation game
3) Download the pc game. Someone is bound to have it.

This is one of the best games ever made . . . storyline wise. When it first came out the graphics were top notch. If it was made like FFX, then it would be the greatest game ever, but you can't really complain when the storyline is so awesome.

Can't wait for the movie, Advent Children, to come out!

"You cannot deny loving this game...I don't care who you are!!!", I remember the first time I ever playied this game...all those years ago...my friend got a playstation underground demo disc of a few games...like Bushido Blade, but the one that I couldn't help but love immediately was FF7. I even remember the exciting commercial, in which they dramatized it so much that I had to buy it. But I don't regret it, on the contrary I am so happy that I bought this game and I will always cherish it. I don't let things affect me so much, but this game really got to me. To me (and should be to anyone who has played it) it is the all around ultimate RPG ever made, at least storywise. The graphics were beyond their time, at the time, but of course now they are pretty crappy. But that is actually one of the things that makes it so great. It didn't need supercomputer graphics to get you involved in the plot and make you wish you were there. The battle system is also of course outdated too, but that also adds to the retro-appeal to it I believe. It is a must have for any RPG gamer and for anyone who likes great games. Even though Gamespot only rates it at 9.3 (great by their standards) I would have rated it a 9.9, and not a 10 because it left us hanging in the end slightly. After all these years, we finally get to find out what happened in the new FF7 Compilations debuting soon (at time of writing this). I have no doubt in my mind that they will also be of absolute timeless value. But please, don't take my word for it, you must experience it for yourself to truly understand what everyone really means when the say "The greatest game of all time".

"A Final Fantasy For The Ages", This is the Final Fantasy game that took the series from it's fantastic roots on the Super Nintendo into the heights of RPG legend. This game set the standard for RPGs in 1997, a standard which it has maintained since then. The combination of adult themes, superb deep characters, a riveting storyline, and simply unparalleled graphics made it the highest grossing RPG for the 1990s.

The story revolves around a host of memorable characters: the mercenary Cloud, his old girlfriend Tifa, a mysterious lady by the name of Aeris, and the malevolent Sephiroth (arguably the most celebrated villain in video games), the corporation Shira, and over all of this: the apocolyptic Meteor rushing towards the planet bent on destruction.

Simply put: buy this game...whether for the PC or the Playstation. Play it and realize the greatness that it is.
One of the best console games ever created.
