The characters got a bit distorted over time in the spin-offs, but when not being racist FF7 features some great dialogues and attempts to do some very creative things.

Regardless, the game is very well-made and like all other PS-era Final Fantasies, extremely detailed. This isn't helped by the fact the spin-offs (for the most part) suck, the game had less than sub-par translation and every 13 years old kid wanted to name their Diablo character or ICQ Nickname as a variation of _-~SepHiROTH~-_. However, despite of or because of its success, FF7 is considered one of the most overrated games of all time. The game was huge on its release and still has a considerable fanbase - maybe the largest of any Final Fantasy, given how Square-Enix likes to milk the franchise dry, its hands holding the teats so strongly that they leak more blood than milk.

It was the golden era of J-RPGs and a great time to be a gamer, but then the PS2 came and Square started taking, let's say, controversial decisions.īut FF7 is not without controversies. Although it wasn't the first J-RPG for the Playstation, the game redefined the genre as it was and the companies quickly jumped on the bandwagon. Some people believe FF7 is the reason the PSX succeeded.

Released in 1997, the RPG quickly became an overwhelming success. I think everyone and their mother have heard of Final Fantasy VII.
