Meh, I look back at FFVII and realize that it has aged horribly, while other RPGs (some even older) are still timeless classics (Chrono Trigger, FFIX, FFVI, Wild Arms to name a few). There has been a severe lack of RPGs this gen, but it looks like this might be the year of them with Ar Tonelico 3, Disgaea 4, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 2 (maybe even 3, but I think it will come out in 2012) and Hyperdimension Neptunia.

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.
