    Final Fantasy VII

    • This game has an excellent story line as does mostly everything that squaresoft produces
    • It's definitely a thrilling story.
    • The story is really intriguing and you should look online for more depth to understanding this masterful story.
    • The story is not the greatest
    • The story also incorporates a lot of environmentalism and shintoism (again, something the FF movie lifted from this game) and gives us a modern story which we can truly connect with
    • Like an awesome story with spellbinding plot twists?
    • And the story, It starts as cloud blowing up a
    • Also, the story, while good, is poorly executed.
    • It is by far the most complex mix of AMAZING story line, loveable/hateable characters, mood commanding soundtrack, and ease of gameplay I have played to this date
    • If it's such a great game why is it so hard to understand?Why spend so much time attacking the story
    • SUCH A GREAT RPG STORY!!!!
    • For me, if the story is bad, it would take phenomenal game play to keep me engaged in the game
    • Some gamers deem it "overrated", stating that VII's gameplay wasn't as complex and its story wasn't as deep in comparison to other games within the genre that they consider to superior, like Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger
    • I can not describe enough words for this beautiful story line, the battle system, the intense feeling of this game.
    • The story is memorable, almost all of the characters are likable and the game basically becomes more fun as you get closer to the end.
    • Offering a span of roughly 30 hours, this epic tale is to this day the greatest story I have ever experienced, and that includes every book I have read (and I am a reader) and every movie I have ever seen
    • VII is still a great follow up for that game and was the game that got me hooked in the series (although I did played the first on on the old nes back in the day) and is on of the best RPGs ever made anyone into rpgs both western and Japanese ones will be happy with this game as long as there willing to sit threw the outdated graphics, they will find a very fun and likable game with great characters (although this is somewhat where final fantasy started going to stereotypical anime people) and a great story.
    • The perfect story, gameplay, and graphics (at the time) were outrageous
    • It has a great story line, memorable characters, and one of the best fight songs for any RPG game
    • It has a great story line, fun game play, and a reasonably long time to complete the game
    • His story is so great, that it's hard not to see him as the main character, and not Cloud, the actual main character
    • The story is great and kept me interested all the way to the end
    • this by far is one of the greatest rpgs of all time very good story great characters and nice visuals
    • I wish I could sit here and just ramble on and on about the beautiful story and the twists, turns, and major events, but obviously that would ruin it for any who still haven't played this masterpiece of a game
    • The game is very good at what it does, but is hindered by the stupid story and horrible writing
    • The story is GREAT!!!!!But, fair warning, this game is extremely long
    • For every decent videogame story, there are 10 books as satisfying as eating a meal
    • I enjoyed the story and it has the most replay value out of all the Final Fantasies.
    • Trying to make this story serious and funny at the same time, often leaves players wondering where the story is headed., or if there is indeed a story, was there one????
    • At the start, you're rigging a shinra Mako reactor with a bomb, and setting it off as an act of terrorism, and from there the story gets more sinister every second.
    • I think it's a very intelligent story, even by today's standard
    • yet I'm still drawn back to it's great story, characters, and gameplay
    • Even up against FF8, FF9, and FFX, FF7 really holds its own with great characters, my favorite being Yuffie, great story, and a truly fun gameplay system
    • As the boring story progress' you find out more about each character and the story becomes even more boring with a new evil and old friend stirring things up
    • It gives a great story line, but also enjoyable game play.
    • This is the single greatest story ever told in video game history, and it was from a time before video games were good at telling stories
    • The story itself was good, but it was too short.
    • The same is true for the small, menial side-stories that are supposed to bring out more of a certain character, but actually just distract from the main storyline at times, such as the whole thing with Barret and the folks of Corel
    • The story is, as you'd expect from the Final Fantasy name; amazing
    • it feels like a step backwards to the near-nonexistent stories of the original nintendo
    • The story was supurb, music was
    • does this story get good
    • Massive, beautiful story, with likable developed charactersCutting Edge Graphics for its timeGreat ProductionA Villian like no otherAllegory to the energy crisis/global
    • Great story
    • The inartful environmental overtones aside, the story really shines in its gradual cultivation of the mystery surrounding the background of the four most important characters
    • The story was as confusing as any story could be, had plot holes that weren't answered until 10 years later, and the graphics were changed in disk 3 (had different artists at that time), but none of that was bad
    • A wonderful experience for anyone who likes this series, or anyone looking for an absolutely outstanding story.
    • People say this game is good, but its not, the graphics really stink as does the story,(if u can call it a story).
    • The story is a little spotty when it comes to that, but up until now I've really enjoyed playing through the game, and I can't wait to continue
    • The story is enthralling.
    • I don't think FF has the best out of all the categories (gameplay, story line, music, etc) but I think it has the best story line and the best game play
    • This game has great graphics, a great story, great sound, and is nearly 50 HOURS LONG!
    • If you want a captivating story and a good fight then this is a good game
    • It was a good story, but a lousy script
    • The story is great
    • Final Fantasy VII is no different, with the perfect amount of Playstation flair to compliment, not overtake the strong story and game system that are the series' hallmarks
    • Despite it's 13 year old graphics, the game has an awesome story line and is worth the money and the time to play it
    • 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
    • But after Cloud meets an old "friend" from long ago, the story quickly takes an unexpected twist...
    • Story line: 5 stars: very good story line, alot of different things other than Shinra and Sepheroth
    • This is an example of amazing story telling, genius manga art style from the peak in the 1990's of the style, and a phenomenal game play battle system
    • The gameplay is top notch and the story is great with awesome characters.
    • Furthermore the dark, sinister story of Shinra destroying our Earth, of human cloning using alien DNA, and of one twisted man's vision of purifying the Earth by destroying it is a poignant story which holds more relevance in today's world than any other game in the series.
    • the story is the best story ever writen for a video game.
    • The story is great
    • The story is beautiful and characters have very well developed back story
    • The story is great, the characters are very memorable, and it has one of the best villains out of most of the games I've played
    • Some of the best heroes, villans, story line, and character dynamic in video game history
    • There have been games with better stories, or similar stories since, so playing this game today for a first time player will not have that same emotional power it did so years ago, but the emotions is still there and its themes: What if you were a lie and everything you loved kept being ripped away from you, as well as friendship, pain, suffering, and the human right to take a stand against what is considered evil, even if it is the powers that be
    • final fantasy is my favorite final fantasy game it's and very sad story with a good ending.
    • Final Fantasy VII - Circa 1997GOOD:- Considered a Classic PS1 RPG by many people- Arguably Best story in a video
    • Beautiful gameplay, beautiful story, beautiful music.
    • Final Fantasy XIII is prime example of great graphics and a terrible story.
    • There are games out there with better stories and better characters
    • From the very begining FMV to the end, the story of Cloud, and his band of misfit parties memebers, completely sucks you in.
    • Not that matters if like a good story
    • It's stories that are all wrapped up into one incredible story as you journey to save the planet from being destroyed at the hands of a god in the making
    • A truly amazing story indeed
    • It has a great story, but the graphics could have had a bit of work
    • It is grand in scale, has great characters, and a decent story for a video-game
    • the story is absolutely the best in the series next to FF3.
    • People wouldn't play this game for 60-80 hours if the story wasn't good
    • It has an incredible story, detailed characters, a soundtrack that'll BLOW you away
    • The story intrigued me, and I grew attached to the characters
    • The fact that this is not a traditional "Good vs. Evil" story helps to give it a truly multi-dimensional feel.
    • and sometimes the story gets annoying because of all the useless talk
    • The story is needlessly complex at points and the major inconsistencies aren't dealt with particularly well (I do not consider a tube of goo an effective address to a plot hole).
    • Although the plot veers off track at times and a few of the program quirks are noticable this games still enjoyable and has a well written story.
    • the story is great, and you feel a bond with the characters
    • And I am being totally honest when I say it has the best story of any of the past Final Fantasy's
    • Story 10/10:The story for this game is superb, although it lacks a few minor details that not even Crisis Core reveals it still has one of my favorite story-lines in the entire history of videogames or movies
    • Epic story lineWell-developed charactersBeautiful spell effectsComplex magic
    • This is the most important part for some people, although I tend to find the story to be nearly as important
    • Story 10/10:The story for this game is superb, although it lacks a few minor details that not even Crisis Core reveals it still has one of my favorite story-lines in the entire history of videogames or movies
    • Great graphics, very mundane story, and the mini games were very well worth it
    • I still think it is a wonderful game, with a great cast, a great story, and a great world, packed full of sidequests.
    • OK, the story is not really complex, it's just confusing and pointless, it happens that the game designers had to rewrite the story three times in order to make room for the polygonal graphics, and then include enough eyecandy for the Sony/Squre executives
    • Personally I put FFVII at the top of my favorite games of all time, but that's because it holds a lot of great memories of staying up late and enjoying an intriguing story and some wonderful music
    • The story was always weird to me, and felt like patchwork, but now that I am older and wiser, I can make sense out of it now
    • The story is very believable, with strong scientific concepts of physics and constant energy (it cannot be created nor destroyed).
    • Cid's theme is powerful and strong, and the main theme (also known as Cloud's theme) captures the game to the letter, from it's dark story to the lighthearted adventure.
    • The story and the soundtrack are awesome.
    • That is how good the story is, it's hard to put into words how much you should like it
    • This is the best RPG game ever made the story line it self is breathtaking I
    • the story is ment for kids too, which is not bad, but as an "post-teen" young adult, the story is a joke.
    • Final Fantasy 7 is the best final fantasy game its fun and addicting great story awsome fun overall great!
    • It has a great story and some of the best characters ever.
    • Simply the best story line i've ever seen on a game
    • It has one of the most complex stories out of all the final fantasys
    • Final Fantasy 7 is the best final fantasy game its fun and addicting great story awsome fun overall great!
    • As nostalgic as the earlier titles are (and I love them all), this game just proves that solid gameplay and an amazing story are timeless.
    • To fully comprehend the game one must be learned and able to understand thick, hidden fractions of the amazing story.
    • The story, while not as good as that of previous Final Fantasies, is very well written (dealing with such real life issues as love, vengeance, and a haunted past), while a lot of the events (such as the cross dressing scene at the beginning of the game) are very memorable
    • The most well thought out story ever on a video game.2
    • If you like incredible stories but don't own a Playstation, it's worth buying one just for Final Fantasy VII.
    • i heard the story is bad too.
    • THE STORY IS AMAZING WITH DEEP FEELING S, IT HAS DRAMA AND EVERYTHING
    • Fortunately, the story is so enthralling that you won't be paying attention to them.
    • It has solid graphics, good sound, and the best story line ever in a game
    • Anyway, don't get caught up in the graphics, this game has a wonderful story and gameplay, and it's enough to play over again.
    • Story 10/10:The story for this game is superb, although it lacks a few minor details that not even Crisis Core reveals it still has one of my favorite story-lines in the entire history of videogames or movies
    • the story is bad.
    • Story 10/10:The story for this game is superb, although it lacks a few minor details that not even Crisis Core reveals it still has one of my favorite story-lines in the entire history of videogames or movies
    • The story is great
    • It has a great story and really cool characters
    • It has the traditional battle system, turn by turn (I forgot the name for that).I guarantee you will love the story, the gameplay, and of course the graphics and cgi scenes within the game.
    • The game play is every bit as amazing as the story.
    • A story capable of transporting you to this amazing world and making you care about the characters in it
    • The first to feature a 3D field, Final Fantasy Seven stretched across three discs of unforgettable story, amazing gameplay, and (for their time) excellent graphics.
    • a very slow and boring story line that basically goes nowhere.
    • The fact that this is not a traditional "Good vs. Evil" story helps to give it a truly multi-dimensional feel.
    • I reccomend this game to anyone looking for a great story
    • it kept me hooked for over 70 hours, and its replay value alone lies in just witnessing the wonderful and epic story over and over again.
    • Better story and feel than newer games
    • This game has it all: great story, design,challenging but not frusterating, and now at a great price
    • However, the one drawback to this complex story is that it requires multiple playthroughs
    • A great story is more important
    • Good stories & loveable characters.
    • Personally I like the games with better Graphics and story like Final fantasy x and x-2 and Xenosaga.
    • While not quite as graphical as number 10 Final fantasy has one of the most lush story lines in ff history.
    • Final Fantasy XIII is prime example of great graphics and a terrible story.
    • This game has an unbelievably great story, that sometimes makes you crack up with laughter, and then makes you cry
    • Quite simply, Final Fantasy is one of the greatest stories of our generation, of the world we live in today, and of the world we are to become if we do not pay attention
    • It has all the things a good RPg should have- a good story, a good battle system, and most importantly for me good characters
    • However, the main attraction of this game is the story.
    • This game has one of the greatest story lines in an RPG ever
    • The story is great as are the characters, it has one of the best bad guys ever and is alot better than FFX(not that i didnt like FFX
    • final fantasy is my favorite final fantasy game it's and very sad story with a good ending.
    • Great graphics, great story, great battle
    • Its story alone at the time to even now is near perfect from beginning to end
    • I WANT TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME AND STORY, NOT FIGHT STUPID LITTLE
    • Furthermore the dark, sinister story of Shinra destroying our Earth, of human cloning using alien DNA, and of one twisted man's vision of purifying the Earth by destroying it is a poignant story which holds more relevance in today's world than any other game in the series.
    • What makes FF7 great is the story
    • If you are lookning for a good RPG with a good story, this is it.
    • The graphics are dated and the story's mediocre
    • The story is great and just like the other FF titles, the underlying messages are pretty powerful as well
    • The story without giving out any spoilers for the few that haven't played it yet, in this game is probably the best we will be able to see in a video game (besides final fantasy 6 and maybe star wars knights of the old republic)
    • Final Fantasy VII is no different, with the perfect amount of Playstation flair to compliment, not overtake the strong story and game system that are the series' hallmarks
    • Great story line.
    • Overall there is so much more to this game than just a cool magic system and playable characters, there is also a great story and solid side quests in this game that can keep people playing
    • With memorable characters, phenomenal gameplay, and a story that will leave you hanging on to your seats, this game is for everyone whether you love RPGs or if you hate them for it you hate
    • the only game that can beat this one story wise is FFVI, but this is a really good game with very good gameply (even though its a little too easy)i recommend you buy this game, beat it, then get FFVI
    • As the story progress' you find out more about each character and the story becomes more complex with a new evil and old friend stirring things up
    • I wish this game was funner, but the story was sooo boring and the graphics so outdated, that it really was a chore to finish this game.
    • The game has the best story ever told in a video game, and it has some of the best gameplay too.
    • The story was intriguing
    • The story is great, the music is ANGELIC, the Materia system can't be matched, and the side-quests will keep you busy for MONTHS
    • The story is a little spotty when it comes to that, but up until now I've really enjoyed playing through the game, and I can't wait to continue
    • If you're into realistic graphics and in my view a better story than go with ff8, but don't get me
    • But, it is a strong fluent story rivaling FF6's.
    • The game holds a captivating story line with great cut-scenes and action
    • I was literally blown away by the excellent/memorable story, characters, and music
    • This case is true for Final Fantasy VII while it's graphics are outclassed by VIII I would argue that the former is superior because of a better, more in depth story, better music, different style (I love the dark corporate armaggeddon portrayed in VII) and better magic/battle system.
    • The story is sweet basic, yet complex.
    • I would probably be classified as a fanboy; owning action figures and soundtracks of Final Fantasy games, but I believe this is one of the greatest stories ever told about a group of freedom fighters going up against great forces of evil
    • This game has the best story, Love, Hate, Deception, and Betrail
    • Graphics arn't the greatest but the story is the best I've seen in most RPGs
    • It has a great story and great fighting, any one who likes RPGs will like this game.
    • And jus because the story is more futuristic in VII as opposed to the old school stories of V and VI doesn't mean FFVII has sold out, no
    • The story is, at its core, inspired by Blade Runner, GUNNM/Battle Angel Alita, Alien, and other sci-fi classics of the Postmodern era.
    • Excellent story line, with a few side quests, including a vegas style area where you get to play games and race Chocobos.
    • The graphics are dated, but a good story comes before great graphics.
    • This game has average game play, terrible story, horrific graphics even for a late 90's game, and pretty pathetic characters
    • HAS A GREAT RPG STORY.
    • So great is the story that thousands of fanfics have been written all over the net to tribute
    • The characters are well liked, the story outstanding, and the overall gameplay the best I've played
    • Yeah, there are problems (the story, the somewhat dated graphics, the linear game play), but it's still an amazing play.
    • Trying to make this story serious and funny at the same time, often leaves players wondering where the story is headed
    • There are all sorts of pros to the game, but only a few cons...and the cons barely matter!Pros:-An incredible story.-Deep and engaging play.-Beautiful battle graphics and CG cinemas.-Plenty of subquests.-VERRRRY lengthy!-Unique characters.-Hollywood-worthy music.-Plenty of plot-twists
    • The story is very "comical" not real or heartening like in Final Fantasy 8 and 10.
    • VII is still a great follow up for that game and was the game that got me hooked in the series (although I did played the first on on the old nes back in the day) and is on of the best RPGs ever made anyone into rpgs both western and Japanese ones will be happy with this game as long as there willing to sit threw the outdated graphics, they will find a very fun and likable game with great characters (although this is somewhat where final fantasy started going to stereotypical anime people) and a great story.
    • 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.
    • This game is endless hours of play, with an amazing, compelling, and often sad story
    • The perfect story, gameplay, and graphics (at the time) were outrageous
    • In conclusion Final Fantasy 7 is the greatest game of all time because it has an incredible story, incredibel music, and the fact that you will be sucked in if you give it time.
    • In addition to great story, it has an innovative, flexible, and easy to learn battle system: materia junctioning
    • Easy answer...everything, but in particular the story.
    • graphically the game shows it's age (circa 1997), and the game play isn't exactly the easy moving/user friendly style we're used to today, but those so called draw backs don't hinder the awesome story, the great fantasy atmosphere, and the wonderful characters including Cloud, the quiet and reserved hero of the story and of course Sephiroth, who is in my opinion the greatest bad guy gamming has ever seen (any fan of this game knows what I'm talking about)
    • Come to find out this is a true masterpiece, after playing it I am hooked on Final Fantasy, they have such a wonderfully story, the graphics are always state of the art
    • It's a very captivating story that makes you feel for the characters, people, and environment in the game
    • It's well worth the time and the money if your looking for a good story, otherwise I'd suggest playing something else.
    • The characters are great, the story is the most captivating of any game that I have ever played, and it is a much, much better game that Final Fantasy VIII because FF7 had story, good characters and it led the way for RPGs on the PS.
    • The graphics make the characters look like they're built of legos by today's standards, and the story is confusing, but I still love it!
    • Very Deep, Engrossing and Heartfelt story+Memorable characters+Very Customizable game+Enriching soundtrack+Very detailed cinematics and incredible looking pre-rendered backgrouns+Tons and tons of optional things
    • I heard people say this game sucks because they say the story is stupid, but they don't understand how good of a game this was in its time, it was a
    • The story is absolutely mind blowing and you will find yourself hooked
    • the story is so immature and laughable at so many points, even when aerith dies, you ask urself, "why cant i use a phoenix down?
    • The story is very deep and complex, and can be confusing some times
    • The dark realism pioneered by this game made for a good story, and was much more well done than Final Fantasy VIII.
    • Great graphics, very mundane story, and the mini games were very well worth it
    • A good story, which I still debate certain things about with friends, excellent battles, fun characters, and all kinds of mini games (a.k.a. the Gold Saucer).
    • The story is not the greatest, but it held my intrest when I first played FF7
    • I've said before, even if a game was 8-bit, as long as the story was enthralling, I'd be fine.
    • The story was good but at times made you laugh
    • This game is a great story and the layout at the time when the graphics had so many limitations where outstanding
    • This is a very long game with a very intriguing story
    • The graphics have not aged well, but be prepared to become immersed in a wonderful story anyways
    • The thrilling story and plot'll keep you guessing until the very end, all the different materias that gives you magic abilities are just plain cool, and of course the CHOCOBO RAISING!
    • Like the others, his story has holes in it, mostly regarding his connection to Cloud, which is never adequately explained
    • This game, though not the best in graphics (besides the movies, which are beautiful), has one of the best, if not the best story of any RPG
    • has arguably the best story to an RPG ever,well best story besides Xenogears
    • anyway?).The second major issue, touched on above, is the fact that this story is tough to keep up with at times.
    • The story is not bad, just very expected and normal for the video game hero genre of an RPG.
    • I love the story, I love the battle system, I love the pacing, I love the nostalgic feelings I get when I replay it
    • The story is still quite sad, but it works
    • story was good enough to keep me playing battle system was sweet
    • Also, if you liked the story of FF7, you should play Crisis Core as its the story right before FF7 and explains ALOT about what happens in 7.
    • As an avid Final Fantasy player from the very begining with FFI I still love the story, charachters, weapons, etc. of this Final Fantasy.
    • The story is incredible, the graphic are a liitle poor, but other than that I love this game
    • The story is incredible and the music is classic!
    • The story is very complex and flows very smoothly.
    • I have so many problems with this game's story
    • The story, for what it is, is entertaining, but the characters are cardboard
    • The reason they buy them is for a great story, great characters, and great battle systems
    • The story gets a little farfetched and hard to follow
    • this game is overrated, the graphic suck, the story is lame
    • This game has an AMAZING story line
    • The story is great and themusic makes this game worth buying alone
    • The story is great, the graphic are great, Everything is great
    • The main story is captivating and you wish to see it to its conclusion, but at the same time Gold Saucer and Chocobo Breeding might very well make you into an addict.
    • Regarding the story, again, excellent and complex.
    • Story means so much to a good RPG, but no matter how good the story is, it will ultimately fail if the characters in the game are dull and boring.
    • The Story was great, by far on of the best one
    • At a first glance, Final Fantasy VII appears to have boxy graphics, lack of special effects, and perhaps even a dull story-line with the stoic hero, Cloud Strife.
    • the character design:perfect the map:perfect the story:perfect this is the greatest games ever made by square soft are this game and close behind is chrono trigger which you can get in a joint package with final fantasy 4,another very well made square soft game and very much worth buying...later.......
    • I sometimes wonder how the story would have turned out if Aeris HADN'T died.
    • I don't have any problems with reading complex stories)
    • this DEFINATELY does not match up with final fantasy VI, it rivals with the second best RPG ever made: Final Fantasy II. considering that FFII had more challenge to it, but FFVII had a much better story, they both beat each other up pretty badly.all in all, i would shell out 15 dollars just to watch someone play it, the storyline is so good
    • fun to play,good music,great story,all around fantastic game,its would be nice to see it in high def on the ps3 though(remake).
    • The characters are awesome, the story is awesome, the gameplay is awesome, everything is good...for their time, the graphics are really good
    • The story holds up as well, even if it is a little hard to figure things out at times
    • The story is like no other
    • Final Fantasy VII has a great story
    • the best.the story and characters and villan are the greatest in a game that i have played.
    • Give me SOME indication of where I should be going to progress the story
    • With quests galore, a great story, amazing visuals (considering the time period), and customization that is pretty respectable it still can hold its own against games today
    • The story is also quite good.
    • The story gradually unfolds as the game progresses
    • Final Fantasy 7 is my personal favorit game, it has the best story line, way to play, lay out... and on and on
    • The story is also a problem, contrary to the high praise that die-hard fans often give it.
    • Story means so much to a good RPG, but no matter how good the story is, it will ultimately fail if the characters in the game are dull and boring.
    • This story is confusing for no particular reason, and the writers are totally lost in terms of how they want to tell their tale.
    • No story has ever beaten this wonderful masterpiece
    • Without the nostalgia goggles I didn't enjoy the story, the graphics, the gameplay, or the characters.
    • Final Fantasy 7 has the worst graphics and the lamest story line of all the final fantasies ive played.
    • lamest story ever in a game.
    • Think about it, although FFVII may not be the most 'visually pleasing' game out there, it's not the graphics hinder the story or the gameplay or the music any
    • The story behind each charcater is awesome, and the relationship between the main characters, including Sephiroth, the bad guy, is just awesome, you will never find anything like it...the story of this game will simply get you and not even final fantasy 10 for playstation 2 with its moving story and love story as well will even reach final fantasy 7 story
    • Its story never gets dull and the battle system is one of the more complex of Final Fantasies.
    • The gameplay is out of this world, the battle system is near perfect, and the story is the best I have ever encountered on any system period.
    • Great story, great characters (except Cait Sith), and amazing storytelling.
    • The characters are great, the story is awesome, I like the battle system and materia is easy to train and use
    • This game has imaginative lands, cool characters and an awesome story
    • The story is still quite sad, but it works
    • It has one of the greatest stories of all time as well as some of the most rewarding gameplay
    • the story is kid friendly, and the whole game is a headache.
    • In fact, it's probably the first RPG to ever tell such an incredible story.
    • Just make sure you're prepared to laugh, cry, get angry, and experience one of the best stories you'll ever have the privelege of playing through.
    • Not only that, but its characters are timeless and memorable, its story is amazing and emotional and the music is like none other for its time.
    • Oh, and the story is great
    • Other than that it is a pretty fun game with a good story
    • the story is easy to follow, and when you are done with this one you will surely wand to play other final fantasy titles.overall PLAY THIS GAME!
    • A lot of things i see are, the graphics are bad, the story is to complex, and its not better then ff8
    • Tifa, Barret and Cid get good stories into their backgrounds and definately add their importance in the story as well
    • its been about 4 years but the memories i had with it were so precious i loved getting totally involved with the great story i never beat the
    • The story is amazing, and only Final Fantasy 10 has really compared.
    • The Story alone made this game so great
    • The unique and twisting story will suck you in immediately, with it's plot and deep moral, and the music was another one of Nobuo Uematsu's masterpieces
    • this game looks like moving legos and the story is pretty much a bucket o' vomit.
    • Also what greater story could anyone invent
    • The story is amazing, the best story for an RPG that anyone could think of.
    • Well, simply the consideration that the most remarkable elements of the game--compelling, unpredictable story, engaging characters, memorable musical score, intuitive gameplay--had already been done, and in some case done better, in the game's predecessor, Final Fantasy VI.
    • It is one of my favorite RPG`s of all time
    • 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
    • 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
