I will have to say it aged fairly well place it alongside its immediate contemporaries, i still play it on my 47 inch tv from time to time. that vast open expanse the story that you can engage when you want after you get out of midgar, and the battle system and graphics show where the future was and stand now as a proud guide to understanding the 2d to 3d transition. sure there are alot of ruff edges but its stood the test of time a hell of a lot better then most early 3d games.
this game sits in aline with the altime best in my archive games i still love to play mario kart, super Mario brothers 3, halo:ce, C&C,
the whole idea of something not aging well to me means something we can not enjoy playing today weather its been a year or 15. FF VII has done that
we also have to look at FFVII as a portal for 2d gamers to what 3d would bring, hell i had not wanted to upgrade from my snes until i played ffVII it showed me something starfox had not it showed me a future where stories and game play can be imersive and more at the gamers control.
the only game that has not aged well that i used to love is the original star fox, and thinking back to it the only reason i became good and spent so much time on the game is there was no money for other new games.
