It’s good to see that switch owners are enjoying this old gems square made during the late 90’s, but it also shows how average their modern games are, nothing they produce these days comes remotely close to what the did during the snes and psx era, thanks square for all the memories too bad you are just a shadow of your former self, at least Capcom has been really good lately, rip Konami.
Anyway it would be cool if they release other not so we’ll known games like xenogears, chrono cross, vagrant story, valkyrie profile,etc. The switch seems to be the perfect platform for these type of games.

if you waited this long to play FF7.

now you'll know why it's a master of masterpieces. muheehahaa

Haha. This post genuinely cracked me up. ;)

I played it many times before, but the symbolism of playing it on a Nintendo console makes this playthrough particularly special.

I agree, Square has kind of fallen. But IMO their old games, despite their flaws, are still among my favourite games to play even today. Even with those 14 polygonal models (I kid!!! It's more like 26 or 27!) don't diminish the artistic merit of the games -- I don't just mean the art component, the gamelay, story, everything are all a part of it... Though the backgrounds from the PSX era FF games are still some of my favourite videogame graphical art ever!

Not that important. Even more when it still doesn't receive the current FFs due to HW limitations.

Aren't they remaking this game? If so, should I hold off playing it for the first time until then? I'm playing my first ever FF game (IX) and I am enjoying it, though it feels dated in a bad way with controls. Should I even bother with two games PRIOR to 9? I like SNES era games, but hate N64 ones.

It is still one of the most beautiful games (I mean in terms of music, art direction, scope, etc.) ever made IMO. 

The atmosphere is still off the charts. If you can enjoy the SNES era games, FF7 is a no brainer. It's still IMO one of the greatest games ever made. And the great thing is it's not one of those games that takes *forever* to get good, the story is really good and fast moving right from the start basically. 

It's a better game than FFIX ... IX is fun and charming, but VII has a more powerful story and atmosphere. Plus the 3x speed option really makes the game a lot easier to play (that's not in FFIX either). 

Too bad the modern Final Fantasy games suck ass and don't have even a fraction of the scope that a game like FF7 has. It's why it's taking them forever to remake it. 

Meh

Like I'm a mostly Nintendo player and even I have played it already, is ok. Is not like we'll get XVI because of a bunch of ancient ports.
