I like to share my opinions & from my experiences of playing original final fantasy 7 & be warned this is going to be a long read & if you guys don't want to read it feel free to scan through this review & if you guys disagreed with any of my reviews feel free to call me out on it & show the evidences where & what I gotten wrong so let's get started.
story Well I have to say the story is pretty enjoyable pretty good we started on reactor #1 that's where our story takes place in Midgar Reactor #1. Cloud's very first mission with Barrett & Avalanche is to bomb & destroy Mako Reactor #1 if I recalled correctly you started with 5 potions,1 either & 1 phoneix down & Cloud's equiped with a lightning & ice materials he's on a mission to destroy Shinra & Mako reactors to perseverance of the life of the planet. But as the story unfolds his personal mission is to settle & destroy & kill Sephiroth & Jenova once & for all & I have to say the dark themes is really good really enjoyable. & all I will advice you is if you guys want to know their backstory & their relations between Zack,Aerith,Cloud,Tifa & Sephiroth is play Crisis Core before you guys play original final fantasy 7 & you guys can see & tell Cloud's struggles & Cloud's Trama from losing 1 of his best friends & Zack passed down his Buster Sword unto Cloud. I guess I will stop here or at least for now.
graphicsWell what can I say when final fantasy 7 first came out the graphics its awesome the summons looked awesome it looked realistic. But now when I looked back on final fantasy 7 for ps1 the graphics don't hold up the graphics looked dated the graphics looked obsolete. From what I noticed,from what I seen,from what I seen of modding communities,from my research & if any of you guys cared only about graphics or if any of you guys are graphics whores then get pc version & install mods to enhance the graphics & give original final fantasy 7 a new look a refreshed look especially if original final fantasy 7 graphics hurt your eyes or just cared about the graphics. If any of you guys suggest I should added pc version to my collection,do a comparison,tell you guys which version is better either pc vs console or Japanese version vs localize version & re-do my reviews of final fantasy 7 feel free to tell me or let me know.
gameplayI don't know where to start I guess I will say that I love the gameplay of final fantasy 7 sure it have more room for improvement & some glitches can either break the game,exploited or just plain weird or just plain freaky. Once you guys optained material menu you guys can come up with varies combination some can help some are useless all I will advice you is to mix & match try different tactics & find what works for you & what you will needed in 1 situation & what works in 1 situation won't work in a another situation every materials have strengths & weaknesses. & as a warning when your materials mastered your materials will reborn to a another material started from level 1 keep that in mind & if you don't like turned based games or JRPGs then please skip this game & go play something else if you like turned based games or JRPGs & like a enjoyable story,likable characters & dark themes then give this game a try & see if you enjoyed it or not.
characters & characters developmentWell what can I say about characters there are likable characters & there are 1 or more characters you might hate or end up hating & characters development is quite enjoyable it does have some funny moments. For a date you have to have a certain compilabilty points the highest points will results in you will date that person if any of you guys know anything about dating mechanics when you guys went back to golden saucer & be warned some characters are either dark,evil & twisted & some characters have dark backstory. But however the story,characters & characters development is quite enjoyable really good really enjoyable they did really good with characters & some characters are waifus& waifu materials & some characters are not. I guess I will stop here or at least for now.
musicWhat can I say I love the songs they did really awesome some of the songs fits perfectly in some of the situations while some of the songs don't fit the atmosphere while some of the songs does fit the atmosphere some of the songs does set the mood I don't know what can I say & what to add sorry I will stop here or at least for now sorry
.
mini gamesWell some reviewers don't include mini games but as I said before my reviews,opinions,impressions,etc. etc. are going to be honest unbiased reviews,opinions,impressions,etc. etc. so what can I say about mini games some of the mini games are a lot fun I had fun with 3 of my favorite mini games battle square,basketball in wonder square since basketball is 1 of my favorite sports & chocobo racing when you guys racing your chocobos. & some of the mini games can be tidies & some of the mini games can be boring depending on what mini games you guys find fun & enjoyable & be warned some of the mini games you needed gil to play & you needed gps to compete in battle square some of the mini games are enjoyable & some of the mini games are boring & I will leave at that. & you can either buy 1 time ticket or a lifetime pass ticket key item & as a warning lifetime pass key item is pretty expansive if I recalled correctly for 30,000 or 300,000 gil or 1 time ticket for 3,000 gil.
art styleSome of you guys might want to start asking me from my opinions but eagle lord hows the art style does the art style stand the test of time does the art style still hold up? sadly some of the art styles yes but outside of battles some of the the characters models don't & well some of the characters models outside of battles can be cringe at times. & some of the characters models are not cringe luckily,some of characters models don't aged well & some of battle characters models looked pretty good decent job & some of you guys who are man of cultures might like some of the art styles & some of you guys who are man of cultures might not like the art styles.
localizationsI haven't play Japanese version yet but all I will say for now is that from what I heard & from what I seen final fantasy 7 is not translated properly& was not translated properly & they fuck it up & I will leave at that.
final verdict In conclusion final fantasy 7 is overrated yes & in a way it deserved it & when I looked back I have to & now that I looked back I have to give it a 6.5 out of 10 it does have some room for improvements there are some bugs they can be fixed & some glitches can be exploited & if you use mods especially when the graphics is dated,outdated & some improvements on pc version I might give it at least a 8 out of 10 at the most a 9 out of 10 overall I do love final fantasy 7 it was quite enjoyable really good really enjoyable they did really good & I had fun playing final fantasy 7
