Thanks for the input everyone. I am interested in FFVII since it seems to be the one that most people are talking about. One question though: Should I just wait and experience it for the first time with the remake, or should I just play the version available on the PS Store?

It depends if you prefer an action based combat system to a turn-based combat system and if you don't like the dated visuals very much ... 

I don't really mind visuals from that era too much (Ocarina of Time is still one of my favs ever). Which one is action based and which is turn based? I guess I prefer action based, but turn based can be alright, à la Pokémon right?
