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 I never realized how outdated it's become.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 At least this part didn't get outdated.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. 

1. Try playing it on a SDTV, playing any 1-6th generation game on a HDTV will make it look terrible. The out of battle character graphics were pretty poor but it was Squaresoft's first attempt at 3D and first attempt on the Playstation. Squaresoft made the first Lego game really ;).

2. Its MP3, the PC version uses MIDI and it sucks in comparison. Audio wise. The soundtrack is brilliant though, you will get nothing less than brilliant when Nobuo Uematsu is composing though.

3. No, hes not Gay... Play the game. (And Crisis Core). He only came out of a Mako indused coma a couple of weeks/days prior to the start of Final Fantasy VII, was pumped full of Jenova Cells and Mako for a few years while in a tube, had his only true friend (and role model) in SOLDIER (Zack) die in front of him (While still fucked in the head) and has Sephiroth  pulling at his brain strings through out the whole of Final Fantasy VII. Oh and he gets fucked off Mako again after the events in the Northern Crater during disc 2.

4. Cid curses way more and for no reason. Barret only curses when hes talking about something he hates. *It's cause of that &%*£&$ Pizza that the people below are suffering!*  I can't remember exactly how the dialogue is said. Cid is funny as fuck.

5. No matter how many times you play the game you still get the same great feeling from your first playthrough.

6. Yeah pretty pointless, 80% of it will be replaced with something better or will never be used.

7. I won't complain. If you want more reasonable realistic proportion's though refer to Advent Children.

8. I agree with you here. I must have been around 9 when I first played it (ten 2nd time) and I never made it past the Shinra Mansion on two playthroughs! For some reason I always assumed I needed to open the Safe to progress the story and I never could figure out certain digits of the combination so I stopped playing the game and left it...

I finally completed it at around 13 years old and beat Omega Weapon without taking damage or using the water materia (My dad helped me out with some crazy materia combinations and I found out a extremely quick way to earn AP to Master the Materia and duplicate it. He was really into it) and beat Ruby weapon after that only being hit twice. I still really didn't grasp much the story untill I was around 16 when I replayed it for the fourth time and completed it again. Now at 18 I pretty much know everything there is about the Final Fantasy VII and fully understand the story and the back stories. I never botherd with Dirge of Cerberus because it was quite frankly shit... I read up Vincent's history though. Final Fantasy VII has always been my favorite game and will always be. Star Ocean II and Skies of Arcadia follow in second and third place. And Cloud is not gay.. Lol. Oh and Sephiroth is the best/most kickass villian EVAR..
