Well d21lewis, i didnt mind the voice acting tbh, barely much in the game, it didnt impact me much. and the translation in FF7 wasnt great either tbh, it was only until FF8 when Sqaure really pushed with top quality localisation; at the time it was acceptable for the sheer volume of text in the game imo.
changing discs was cool back in the day, but i mean changing back and forth was annoying i'll admit.
i think the story actully made it very good. i liked how the story started off as just a war, in one continent, then you would end up chasing a mysterious man (okay a bit too much like Sephiroth) and uncover a great conspiracy. and the story would change, if you know what i mean. you dont just follow the same plot for 4 disks. the story changes dramatically each disk.
i personally loved the 2nd chapter when you would be chasing the mysterious gang of theives on the second continent. but i felt the grand story on the 4th disk right at end was a bit dissappoining. overall a great story imo.
