Review
One word sumes up this game... AWESOME! "Quiet possibly be the best game ever made" Game Fan magizine. As you can see it has some praise. Oh... you dont know what Final Fantasy VII is? Well, let me tell you it is loads of fun. You have many weapons, automobiels, planes, and *drull* a awesome story line. The game is unllike any other Final Fantasy game. The game is actually in 3-D which is unlike the old fashion 8-bit style of earlier Final Fantasy games. Like most final fantasy games the players hold swords and spears but in this game guns to. You have Well over twenty to thirty weapons per charecters and have eight of them that are playable. That and the new type of battle system which uses orbs called "materia". Materia is a orb you stick in slots of your weapon to make it stronger, have summons e.t.c. They can be very helpful and you level up the orbs to make them stronger. Don't worry the game still has leveling up of your charecters. For every battle you face you and win you get a certain number of points and they reward your charecter who has a certain number of level points before that charecter levels up. Your charecter sadly, can only level up one hundred times and thats it. But trust me... THATS VERY HARD! So don't get mad. The levels in the the game are massive and colored wonderfully. The game is massive so you will go through many places. (The game is three disks long!). Not including the million mini games you can play which are really long. The only bad thing about the graphics is the charecter models. There is not as much work put into the models. I guess they didn't want high detail models because maybe not as much room on the disks. But the game is still a good one. They make up for the crappy models for FMV scenes. The scenes are some of the best the Playstation 1 could handle. The game came to the U.S. September 3, 1997 which in that time the scenes were state of the art. So don't down the game because of graphics. It's one of the greatest games of all time. A definate must have on my list.
Story
The game starts out with you jumping off a train and a couple of your buddies. Your name is Cloud and your with a rebelious group called AVALANCHE. There mission is to deystroy reactors that are sucking the earths life force to power cities. You are in front of reactor VII. You are told by a friend named Barret to blow it up. So Cloud and Barret and buddies run in the reactor and are ready to place a charge when Cloud falls to his knees. He shakes his head and gets up. You set the bomb for 10 minutes. But you are attacked by a security robot and are forced to kill it. Then the race is on. Cloud and Barret are in a race to get out but find a injured friend Jessie. You pull him out from under something and run. Once you get out the reactor exsplodes. The guys tell you to meet up at HQ and so your off to HQ... alone. You are walking down the street and meet a flower girl named Areis. She asked you questions but you eventualy leave. You walk a little more to a bridge and are confronted by Shinra soldiers. (the guys who own the reactors and are greedly sucking the life force from the earth). They try to capture you but you jump off the bridge onto a moving train and slip in. YAY your friends are on that train ^_^. From there you go to HQ and meet a girl named Tifa who lets you into HQ which is a secret basement of a bar. From their you decide to go Shinra company and fight for earth. (don't worry it's not a hippy tree hugger game)
