Welp, im back into the legendary game that got me into to JRPG's in the first place again.
Ya know, after playing, beating and getting every freaking item, materia and chocobo in this firggen game i vowed around my 843rd time beating the game and said enough is enough (this was in 2005 i belive...) and well shyte, Sony launchs the damn game on PSN and it can be played on PS3 .... and guess what? PlayStation Portable aswell! (Reason why i bought it, screw PS3...)
And i gotta say, i feel like a kid again! (is 18...) so charming, so...so epic...so untochable, even though i can reach level 80 before i switch over to disc 2 (lulz Uber FFVII pro...) its still such a unique feeling, im looking for the word... Nostal something??? well ya get the point...
Well anyway, Enough day dreaming, lets get straight to the point of things shalt we?
___________
Pros: I. $10 price tag via PSN, fairly expensive for a PSone classic, but well wroth it for the "Quite possibley the greastst game ever made.."
II. FFVII (psn) can be downloaded and played on PSP anywhere at anytime. (My gaming nerds dream come true! im still in awe!)
III. Also playable on PS3. (Nice little bonus, but wont do it, one of my "fantasies" was always to play FFVII on the go!
IV. Crimson Clear image quality on both the PSP and PS3's upscaled screens! (I've noticed ALOT of things that i never saw in the original, characters acting weird, letters, numbers, trees, water, grass, weapons, textures, etc..)
V. NO, and i mean NOOOOO, fraking loadtimes! Ahh, gotta love digital data.
VI. PC Saves are now Usable via PC >>> USB >>> PSP connection, you know what that means? (Aerith stays alive and Sephiroth has a Good Clone!!! YAYNESS!)
VII. You can now view Tifa's Classic trademark ...assets... in higher quality whereever you go! (Okay this one was for the lulz, just to get it to VII.......... sorta? >_>)

There ya have it folks, But as great at the PSN version is, i HAVE noticed something while playing this at my uncles house for the past 3 days... yes... some... weird... things... CONS AWAY!!!!
Cons: I. Script & Dialogue INSANELY Altered from the original PS1 Verison... for example ---> " " <--- This stupid shyte pops up EVEYWHERE NOW!!! i know i've been away from FFVII for a good long while now, but this shyte was NEVER there, im fraking sure of it! so sure i went to gran my orignal mint condition FFVII disc and slapped it in mah PS3 and guess what? the " " Shyte is MISSING!!! LULZ WTF!? And to make things more awkward as an original FFVII Gamer MUCH of the words have chagned, like the flashback part with cloud and sephitroth... Cloud goes "RIGHT MISTER SEPHIROTH!?" and in the original "right sephiroth?" yes, yes... Minor but still a fraking CHANGE!!! there were many more encounters of this to but wont name the all, overall highly distracting...
II. Random Text Glitchs, only had it once, but it was still a rather minor inconvience...
III. ALL UR MATERIA ARE BELONG TO... Trash? / Yes, i've thorwn away some materia by AXE-C-DENT because of some weird button control, though this is not an issue now since it fixed it, "Use the < ^ v > instead of the stick" so its a fixable issue, no bigie...
________________________________________
Alright thats all the cons, not many but the first one bothers me a fuck-O' lot, considering im an original FFVII fan and altering that shyte is BLASPHEMY!!!
Even still, it is a living legend of a game, 9.5 outta 10 imo.
Though the battle system is truly out-dated, i'll most likely play through it once maybe twice, its still worth the $10 for true fans who wanna view it in upscaled hi-def and / or on the go with the PSP (ME!) whatever the case, FFVII still shines on the Sonys crown of franchises as a true gem worthy in all its magesty.
It also works real well if ya own Crisis Core, Like one big happy family!
With all this said, do any of you think a FFVII Sequel may present itself in the future?
Given Dirge of Cerberus's ending, i'd say so...
This Franchise shalt nevar fade away into gaming history!
{~That is My Answer~}
So with that said, Sequel anyone? Discuss!

"Note: As an added Bonus, about the trip to my uncles, he ended up liking the PS3's version of SoulCalibur IV and he LOVED LBP, VC and most of all Uncharted! so yep, convinced him to get a PS3, said it was "koo-boi!" lulz. w/e, yew know he wuved it. as for my Wii impressions, thats time for another thread, its gonna be a long read gents."
