Best version of FF7 taken away by greedy square enix.

Wow. What an absolutely amazing game.
Final Fantasy 7’s story and characters can’t be beaten by any other game. The way this game is written is brilliant.

My dad bought this game for me in about July last year because it was his favourite childhood game, and said if I beat it he would buy me the new remakes. And I played this game for about 40 minutes, with no knowledge of it beforehand, before giving up before I even finished the first mission. The outdated graphics and the amount of enemy encounters were too much for me.


Until about the start of April this year. I finally got a Steam Deck and was looking through my game library in the car and saw FF7. I thought I must’ve really disappointed my dad, so I decided to play it again and send him a picture of it. I thought I’d only play it for a bit before getting bored of it this time.

But this time was different. Since the last time I played it in July, I had learned to appreciate games for what they are, despite graphics. I played games like Deltarune and Undertale, which are arguably worse graphics than FF7, so this time the game was bearable.

I pushed through more of the game and then I realised just why my dad loves this game so much. The characters just stick with you, and the story and gameplay feel so ahead of its time.

The game is just so addictive! At parts I really wanted to quit, and play the remakes, especially during the Carry Armor and final fight. But I’m so glad I pushed through it, and I’m glad to say after 50 hours I have beaten this game.

Final Fantasy VII is the best game of all time.

Best version of FF7 there is.
