The official Final Fantasy VII thread. *BREAKING NEWS* Green light for a remake?!
 

I remember buying this awesome awesome game for $60 the day before it came out. A friend working at Funcoland hooked me up. Little did I know, that my life would be changed forever. It's the only game from 1997 that I still play almost every day. I must admit that it's lost its oomph once I knew the whole story, but the game is just so fantastic that it doesn't even matter. It is unfortunate, however, that they don't really make games as awesome as this anymore. Once gaming became mainstream, these games just kinda faded away.

Anyway, this thread is dedicated to the awesomeness that is Final Fantasy VII. Discuss one of the greatest games of all time. Fans and nerds are welcome. Haters will be charged extra gil for posting.

i played that for an entire spring/summer back then, and yeah.. it was one of those games that stuck with me for a while. haven't played it in forever though.

I love this game... beat it sooo many times including the emerald and ruby dragons.. mastered everything lol.

i wish they would remake so its not all polygon-y

by far best game of all time. or at least up there in top 3

id love to see a remake.. i'd play it for sure.

hmm my dorkiness is showing there..

No kidding! A remake would be awesome. So far, there is no concrete evidence that there will be a remake. However, SquarEnix has already remade all the Final Fantasies prior to VII. So, logically, a remake should be coming. A remake would definitely be a financial success and would sell millions.

yup. i have ff3 on my DS lol. only reason i got it...like FF series much? V_V?

Yup FFVII was awesome!

final fantasy tactics was by far my favorite FF title

I cannot even begin to explain the number of times or the number of hours my brother has played this game. It's insane.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but new games back in 1997 cost $49.95. They started costing $59.95 starting this generation...

Also, I've played this game more than anyone here. I still play it on my emu. I am a huge geek and am proud of it. My girlfriend is a bigger FF geek than me, though.

Cloud Strife and Sephiroth were one of the best hero/villain combos ever..

FF7 for the ****ing win.

I suggest you guys play Crisis Core. It's a good addition to the series. My favorite FF is still IX.

I'd eat my own child to get a remake of FF7.

I dunno man. I don't think you've played it more than me. I got the game a day before it came out. :mrgreen:
The game was $50, but I payed $10 extra to get it one day in advance. The game came out on September 3rd, 1997. But I got my excited hands on it on September 2nd.

Oh and Crisis Core is amazing. Definitely a worthy addition to the VII family.

Agreed son. agreed.

FF7 was/is the best game I have ever played. Simply put.

All I am saying is that retail price wasn't $60. I think I've gotten a game early like that before because it's obvious they get the games a week before launch to prep. I've also got a few people that work at Gamestop. The ONLY Gamestop I've seen get games on launch day is a Gamestop on 21st and Lehigh(the ghetto?). I guess they don't have too much space to store boxes, etc or just don't trust that store or something, but I waited around for Mass Effect to be dropped off by the UPS guy the morning of.

I got FF7 I think that Christmas because I had just gotten a PSone that Christmas. It was my second Christmas in the US but the first Christmas that my parents had any sort of disposable income. I remember, I was 11 and had never played an RPG before that. I thought I would beat the game if I got to level 20. At first I thought the whole game was based in Midgard. I was in for a surprise when I beat Reno and their crew and left Midgard.

FF7 FTMFW!!! I still have the original game not the greatest hits. Also have the strategy guide that goes along with it.

FYI if anyone hasnt seen it, Final Fantasy Advent Children on Blu Ray is full of win!! Here is a little preview.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibuNacSzkMo

I will be honest. I am a crybaby and I got emotional watching Advent Children. Specially at the end when Zack and Aerith are by the door. ='(
