Classics: Final Fantasy VII (1997)


Classics are games that will never be forgotten. The storyline was so intriguing it left us talking about years after. I consider Final Fantasy VII to be one of them. First appearing on the Playstation back In 1997. Created by Square (Square Enix). This was the first time any one has played a game with so much storyline it consisted of three CDs to finish it. Yup! I should know I have a copy of the original greatest hits with full case and booklet.

If you haven't noticed yet I am a huge fan of RPG's (Role Playing Games). These games are based on characters journeys or conquest to far away places, in order to accomplish a goal or saving someone else's life. They're filled with intense storylines and repetitive battle formats such as ATB Active Time Battle. When its your time to battle, you will take turns. Either you or your opponent go first. Depending on how many characters you have on you're team, you have a limit of three characters per turn. You must remain with them for the entire battle, until you defeat the enemy or die dying.

The whole story is based on Cloud Strife. He is a mercenary who claims to be apart of Soldier, which he was the 1st class member. Cloud mets a anti-Shinra rebel group called Avalanche which was created to prevent Shinra (A company that drains the life of the planet to use as an energy source) from destroying their world. Through their journey to fight against this company and to save the world an old alias of Cloud's has came back to finish off the entire world and that person is Sephiroth.

I've dedicated numerous hours to possibly accumulated months worth to even a year to finish a game. That's why I can truly consider myself a gamer.
