So, in this game, you not only get to defeat the greates villian of all time, but an entire evil corporation!The battle system is terrific, it's easy enough for a beginer, but has enough options for more advance tactics and your own style of battling

In this case it a group known as Avalanche against the mighty Shinra Corporation

Look this game is basically about a few people on a mission to stop an evil corporation(Shinra) and save the world from destruction.

This rebel group is trying to stop Shinra, an evil corporation, from stealing all of the planet's energy, "Mako".The leap in graphics between Final Fantasy VI and this one is pretty amazing

Cloud's past is slowly revealed as the game progresses, along with the history of the evil corporation, Shinra, and the history of the planet itself

The game also has many things that people worry about, the environment, evil corporations, overcoming fears/embarassment/illness.

He joins a group called Avalance run by Barret intent on ruining the top policing corporation known as shinra

What initially begins as a fight to destroy an evil corporation becomes an entire journey towards revenge and the defending of things greater than the world.

The story starts small as a rebel group AVALANCHE fighting the Shinra Corporation that is turning the only huge city on Gaia, Midgar, into one big industrial market

The story is probably the weakest link and somewhat generic as Cloud and company basically go on a search to pursue Sephiroth who is searching for the Promised land while the corporation Shinra does as well

The plot starts with you fighting a big, evil, unecological corporation that practically controls the world, but it is full of twists and you will soon find yourself doing something much more interesting than just that

The game is about Cloud Strife, a defector of Shinra, the evil corporation maintaining control over the planet

So, in this game, you not only get to defeat the greates villian of all time, but an entire evil corporation!The battle system is terrific, it's easy enough for a beginer, but has enough options for more advance tactics and your own style of battling

The story of Final Fantasy VII spans so much more than just an evil Corporation.

Well from Final Fantasy series the only games that I have play are FFIV, FFVI, FFVII and FFVIII, I liked the materia system wich allow to customize how you use magic, but the story was a little cliche, an evil corporation(Shinra) who are sucking energy from the planet, and the good guys here want to stop them

You had nearly every cliche in the book- Token Main Character who has a big sword, sort of angsty and doesn't particularly care about anyone else or feel emotion for some reason, Token Childhood Friend who probably secretly likes you because of course (Cloti over Clerith regardless), Token Love Interest, Token Angry Guy who curses every other sentence and is also black because of course he is all on a token mission to destroy the token evil corporation who has taken over the government

Oh, and let's not forget, in a series called "Final FANTASY", we're dealing with a world very much like our own, where an evil corporation is sucking the life out of the planet

The story follows a rebel group known as AVALANCHE as they battle a large evil multinational corporation, but as they get closer to bringing it down, they soon realize the real fight for the safety of the world is still to come when a madman known as sephiroth (the greatest villain ever concieved)tries to summon forth a power that will destroy the planet, but amke him an all powerful being.

While the graphics are a bit dated, the story itself involves the player like none other, starting with a simple guerilla campaign against the evil Shinra Corporation and later moving on to an epic, world-spanning quest to save the planet from destruction at the hands of Sephiroth.

And the songs J-E-N-O-V-A and One Winged Angel at the end of the game

You are in control of a lame-o named Cloud, an ex member of the famed Soldier

Other than that, they aren't stunning, and leave you sometimes confused as to what you can walk on and what you can't, but I really don't look at a game for the graphics if it's an RPG

Im still alittle confused as to why square never remade this game with updated H.D graphics for any of the current consoles , just keeping everything the same other than the visuals, there is a whole lot of money to be had there, just ask capcom with all there Resident Evil Remakes

all RPG's the game can get a bit static and repetitive as you get stuck on your first adventure

i bought thta as fast as i could

VII stands as outstanding graphically as it did then and weaves a tale that will still amaze.

I bought this game for under 20$ back then, and as great as it may have been then

Honestly, when I randomly decided to look up old videogames for fun and happened to check out the reviews for FF7, I was confused as to why anybody who played it would give it anything but 5 stars

And the story, It starts as cloud blowing up a

This game is a great game...though not as great as it's decendant (FF8).This game offers great graphics the best ever next to 8.I have yet to play (ff9).85 %-90% you will play the part of cloud strife,an ex-SOLDIER.Soldier is an elite group of men and Women taught to fight very well

And you’ll be confused as to why the game costs so much

And after a couple of months, or a couple of years pass, you will start this game over and beat it again, just with the same feelings of satisfactory, entertainment, exhilartion, excitness, fun, proudness, as when you first played and beated it

not as good, not nearly as good as ff8

Has beautiful CGI cutscenes, that look better than the in-game cutscenes of Final Fantasy X (in some ways)Has fun gameplay (aside from the mini-games), and will keep you hooked for hoursHas great music, and will keeped you hooked into the game for hours, even if the gameplay doesn't, which it shouldHas an even better storyline, and like Final Fantasy X, if for some reason you hate the gameplay and the music (which is a hard thing to do), the story should keep you glued to your TV set with controller in handHas an easy 30+ hour completion time, without doing the side quests, ideal for those that like lots of gameplay timeHas good player customization (with what you call "Materia"), but not nearly as good as Final Fantasy X (although if you thought it was too time consuming in Final Fantasy X, this is much faster)The battle speed can be set as slow or fast as you want, with many settings in betweenCons:This game has a somewhat high encounter rate; if you're just playing this game for the story, you may want to consider using a cheat code for no random battles or something, as you'll be spending huge amounts of time with the random battlesThe graphics outside of the battles are very awful, using low polygon levelsThe graphics inside of the battles aren't too bad, but still leave a lot to be desiredIf you have much in the way of scratches on your discs, namely where the CGI cutscenes happen to be, look forward to the game going into an eternal freeze, and not being able to do anything about it, except try it on your PS2 or PS3If lots of extreme "French" language bother you, you may not want to play this game, as two of your main characters use these words a LOT and other side characters do as wellThis game comes with 3 discs, so if you are too lazy to get off your rear end after so many hours of play, to switch the discs, then this game is not for you.

Trust me the graphics may be good but the story is not as strong as FF7

I don't particularly care--he was supposed to be Mr. T, and he turned out well in that regard, but if you intend to read some kind of general statement on the merit of people of a particular shade, you may as well just let this one pass by
