1.) It's funny how ten years ago I thought the graphics on this game were the best ever, but now all I see is a pixelated mess. I never realized how outdated it's become. I thought the PS3 was supposed to upscale this damn thing?

2.) This MIDI music or whatever it is, is still the best I've ever heard. Being used to digital 5.1 surround sound nowadays still doesn't steal the strong feelings I get when hearing every single score. At least this part didn't get outdated.

3.) Is Cloud really gay or is it just me? Ten years ago I probably didn't understand too well why he didn't show any attention to either Tifa or Aeris (I was thirteen), but now all I see is gay gay gay.. these two great girls are literally throwing themselves at him. wtf is wrong with this guy?

4.) I still crack up whenever Cid curses in every sentence. I'm trying to count whether Barrett curses more.

5.) Knowing what will happen ahead of time isn't stopping me from A.) feeling a sense of dread and excitement when a pivotal story moment is coming (i.e., president shinra dies), and B.) trying to prevent bad things from happening (that *gulp* death scene). Maybe I'm just a sucker for romance stories *faint*.

6.) I still never sell a single item in the game for the vain hope of collecting every single thing the game has to offer. Me and my brothers were able to do this thing almost to the letter before, with every piece of materia, weapon, armor, etc. for every character maxed out.. pointless, but I can't stop myself from doing it again.

7.) Tifa's boobs are still far too big, but I remember them being far more realistic looking because my eyes hadn't been exposed to higher resolution digital boobs. Despite that, I'm still favoring Aeris far more.

8.) The plot is SO much clearer for me now. Aside from the Cloud being gay thing, I'm understanding a lot more stuff now than before, which is pretty cool coz it's like I'm playing a new version of the game. 

I was in your shoes a few months ago, I decided to replay FFVII for the first time in like 7 years.

1. Yeh I know what you mean, I remember nearly sh*tting my pants when I saw the graphics back then, expecially the CGI cut scenes. (Sephiroth walking through fire, made me a Final Fantasy fan, just epic). But when I replayed it the graphics were bad but not THAT bad, the CGI looked alright and I can make out what everything was most of the time so it was alright.

2. I 100% agree with you on that, the music in FFVII is still the best, actually after replaying FFVII I liked some of the songs so much that I downloaded them and I still listen to them at time to time lol

3. He's not gay :P just shy

4. Yeh it is pretty funny, especially the times when he curses and the grammar is way off lol

5. You must have a good memory because when I replayed it I forgot like 90% of what was going to happen, except the really BIG scenes. But yeh it was just as exciting replaying it the 7th time as it was my first time.

6. I'm the same way, I did everything 100% from a walkthrough once and yes it is kinda pointless but it had to be done, I didn't do everything when I replayed it but like you said, I never sold anything I always held on to everything I picked up just in case.

7. Ohh Tifa's boobs, how you made me so excited when I was a child, especially those cut scene lol

8. I know what you mean with this, when I first played FFVII my whole idea about games was just the gameplay and just play and have fun, I never ever cared about the story of the game so I usually skipped through any cut scenes in games, but FFVII completely changed that for me, now the story is one of the key factors in a game for me. I understood a little more on my last replay.
