“Booting up Final Fantasy VII feels like opening a time capsule that somehow still blows modern games out of the water. It’s a true classic JRPG with an all-time great story, unforgettable characters, and a soundtrack…”
“Wow. What an absolutely amazing game. Final Fantasy 7’s story and characters can’t be beaten by any other game. The way this game is written is brilliant. My dad bought this game for me in about July last year because…”
“Replayed thru this gem again with 7th heaven, Ninostyle, and the archeology cut plus some texture mods.... man its good, its been such a fun month just reliving this world and its characters. if you miss turn based…”

“This is a honest review which i play this game 10 hours per day. First of all, Final Fantasy VII is a game that many people often tout as an overrated FF series. Alright, let's set that aside for now. For me, having…”

“just finished this game for the first time and i can see why this is one of the best in the series. i didn't think i'd get as hooked as i did while playing this and spent many LONG nights going through the story and…”

“As an enjoyer of the original PS1 classic, this PC port is still a great way to play the game, all I can say is if you haven't played this game before, going through this version is still great, everything about FF7 is…”
“I've played Remake/Rebirth and Expedition 33, I came with the full expectation to have my socks blown off with this experience- I was sorely mistaken. It was even better than I expected. Solid storytelling, compelling…”

“I am into polygonal Tifa. This game was AWESOME SAUCE full of extra chuddy reddit goodness! I give Final Fantasy™ VII 9/9 REDDIT GOLDS! r/FINALFANTASY is going to embrace me with open arms now that I have completed the…”
“my personal favorite game of all time. i had to play it again after nearly 20 years because the ff7 remake and rebirth were terrible. ive been having more fun with these outdated pixels than fully 3D rendered cloud and…”
“Even after going into this game with all the expectations that I've heard over the years, it still delivered. The jump in size from ff6 to ff7 is insane. Seeing 3d characters and cutscenes feels so good after playing…”

“Unlike the remake, this one is good and has less padding.”
“Probably the best game of all time. It certainly was when it released. It's insane how a game from 1997 can have enough content to keep me going for over 100 hours and I didn't even do everything that was in the game.…”

“Final Fantasy VII is a classic RPG that still holds up pretty well today. The story follows Cloud Strife as he gets pulled into a conflict that ends up being much bigger than it first seems. The characters and world are…”
“As a person who didn't grow up playing these games (I'm still a teenager), I came into this game with really high expectations from all the talk, but was a little let down at the start. I was very put off by the…”

“cool game held back by a lot of out-dated design stuff and technical problems. i probably should've installed mods to fix those issues 😭”
“The story is fantastic and heartfelt. The fighting style is play by play and can be frustrating for new players. Great quality for a low price and very small storage requirement!”

“This is a pointless review of a version that is no longer available for purchase. This is still one of my favorite games of all time, so my review is play the game. Mods were fun this time around, but I had a number of…”
“This older version of the game features a dysfunctional cloud saving feature, don't play on multiple devices, it also crashes sometimes, but given the newer version does too, I would recommend this one over that one if…”

“One of the best games of all time, I played it on Playstation and loved it. The story was so unique at the time, and still is. Cloud is one of the best protagonists and Sephiroth is arguably the best antagonist of all…”
“good game but kinda hard because if you die you get reset to your nearest save point but its still pretty good.”
