Yeah I think it's aged horribly too (graphics & midi sound). All the more need for a remake! Some people diss the game and most likely if I were to play it again this year I would lower my high praise. But back when I played it in 1997 it was top of the line graphics and sound. FMV's (Full Motion Video) - OMG! The reason I haven't played it since 1997-1998 is I don't want to ruin the memory. Being that I was only 14 yrs old at the time I probably wasn't the best judge of story. But to me it was a life changing videogame experience dammit. It turned me into a core gamer! lol Crisis Core was a good game & fun on PSP to revisit some of the locations from FF7. Dirge of Cerberus not so much. And the movie Advent Children... I'm just going to say that it looked really good with some interesting fight scenes, but the story left me wanting more. However, the traditional animation (I forgot the name, it was in the collectors edition of Advent Children), that animation starring Zack during his escape from Shinra was awesome. My only worry though if if they do an HD remake it will become linear like FFXIII or add things that ruin the game. It's probably best I just keep it as one of my best gaming memories or just go back & replay the original. |
I agree that at its time, it was truly a spectacular experience, as it was my first Final Fantasy title and I was blown away. Looking back, though, I can see the game for truly being average and overrated among the gaming public (Sephiroth was a cool character, but far from a great villain). Would I buy a FFVII remake? Most likely, as I love RPGs and would be interested to see how it'd turn out, but it's not high on my priority list to see it happen (many other games I'd love to see remade than FFVII).
