Yesterday the "best game ever" for some arrived to my house and I started playing but since I didnt have a PS memory card it couldnt save but I bought one today and now I´m at the shinra headquarters on the floor 64 with Cloud lvl 13, Tifa lvl 11 and Barret lvl 11 until now it has been pretty good but it didnt wow me at first like FF6 did but is pretty good in its own rights

PD: What part is considered the best of FF7?


Did you also play FF6 for the first time just recently? 'cause I take it when you mean FF6 "wowed" you, that must have been some long time ago, or am I wrong? Believe me FF7 for its time, had a LOT more "wow" going for it than FF6 did in its year.

Oh really? I played both within less than 1 year difference between them back in those days, and FFVII didn't have half the "wow" effect that FFVI. Alas, FFVI's "wow" factor in the world of balance alone tops everything in FFVII, to me. Different people have different tastes.

Then you are indeed in the minority, 'cause FFVII was the one that made RPGs big in the western world, and not without good reason. It literally WOWED gamers. FF1-FF6 not so much.

I really don't care if i'm in the minority nor in the majority of what people think. Neither me nor you have the right to question anyone about how each game felt to themselves. If FFVI wowed me more than FFVII, it's my own personal choice, no one has the right to say if it's wrong or right.

I don't discredit the impact of FFVII in the overall RPG panorama, it was pretty big, but to me, it wasn't close to the impact that FFVI had.

Part of that was because it was the first Final Fantasy to be released in Europe and for many was the first JRPG they ever experienced. Everything was very new. I think that's partly why I still hold up FFVII as my fave JRPG of all time, I can't get that sense of newness and storytelling from any other JRPG now.

Ok, great. So? It doesn't change the facts. FF7 was bigger and it wowed gamers more, I wasn't even talking to you and I'm not questioning your taste, like whatever you may like that's fine by me.

It's definitely not a "fact" that FFVII "wowed" gamers more than FFVI.  It was played by more people, certainly, so was "bigger," but by definition that means that many of those people had never played VI (or perhaps any FF) and did not have anything to compare it to.  The opera house sequence in VI alone, for example, had a much bigger "wow" factor for me than anything in VII.  Not to mention the fact that the villain actually succeeds in destroying the world...

Seriously...Americans buying JRPGs like crazy, if that's not a testament of the game wowing people then I don't have anything else to say, and I doubt they had to reach far into the game (not nearly as long as getting to the Opera in 6 would take) to be wowed. I keep getting these replies from people talking about their own personal experience. You all think I wasn't REALLY WOWED by 6? I played that game as soon as it came out, I had played every american FF before it, and tons of RPGs, it did wowed me A LOT. But that was me, an avid RPG gamer, to the vast majority of gamers of 1994 it didn't quite have that effect you know? I figure they saw pretty much what they had always seen in one of those games "the characters are on one side of the screen and waggle their swords and numbers pop up from monsters on the other side"...but FF7 really opened the eyes of those gamers.

I'd have to agree with you that it's likely FF7 "wowed" more people than any others based on sheer sales.
Though. At the same time you could argue Modern Warfare 2 wowed or Wii Sports Wowed people based on the same reasoning. Wowed more people than any Final Fantasy. Doesn't really matter.

Every Final Fantasy wowed some people.  For me it was FF8. where I was like OMFGZ, wowing is kind of a confusing word though.

Yuffie wowed me though... that's all that matters.

Does Anyone know if they did an orchestrated version of "Yuffie's Theme"  Because the soundtrack's awesome. But the sound quality sucks and it's annoying to listen to if I'm not playing the game.

whenever they redo song's dealing with FF7 on Compilations or Distant World's. It's from what I've seen always been
One Winged Angel (don't like that song)
Aerith's Theme (Love that song)
Bombing Mission (Love that song too)

or some other not Yuffie's theme song :(

There's only one official cover of Descendant of Shinobi (Yuffie's Theme) I'm aware of.

In case you're interested, there's a remastered version of the whole FFVII OST done by FinalFanTim. Check out his version of Yuffie's theme.
