Summary

Final Fantasy VII is a role-playing game set in a post-modern, steampunk world where technology and fantasy elements coexist. Players control Cloud Strife, an ex-soldier who joins the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE to oppose Shinra Inc., a corporation draining the planet's life energy. The game features turn-based combat with an active time element, a customizable Materia system for abilities, and unique Limit Break attacks for each character. Players explore 3D environments, engage in various mini-games, and uncover a complex plot involving Cloud's mysterious past and a powerful threat to the world.

There's a reason this game is so beloved, but there's also a reason it's receiving an expansive rework. The game is far ahead of its time but the story is severely uneven in depth and pacing. Still, I'll never turn down the opportunity to commit eco-terrorism with Cloud and his hot friends.

I had played this game as an 8 year old and mostly forgot everything besides a few key moments. Upon replaying this again i understand what made it so perfect back then, it has definitely aged which i recommend playing with the fast forward and regeneration cheat codes that will definitely not disappoint and instead allow you to appreciate this masterpiece that was made more than 25 years ago depending on when you are seeing this review. i paused this until further notice at the most tragic moment of the game (most tragic moment of any game) which i do find to be the worst part of this whole game yet even this moment is a catalyst for how the rest of the game plays out and definitely sets up an all time best revenge story that despite it being about saving the world still will leave you a bit too melancholic for years to come. its enough to traumatize yet charm anybody that plays this masterpiece for years to come
