everyone should experience FF7 at least once
I did multiple times and it ends up the same way, I get confused after a while about the storyline and just end up stopping playing it
I’ll definitely give the remake a chance though ^^
With that, you get the highest tier of greatness of what Square has done. Additional study involves FF9, FF4, FF5 and FFTA2. FF3 is…not highly recommended.

I’ve never played FF7 so I have no idea how right or wrong he is.
It is, without argument, the most vague and bland description of FFVII possible (plus it’s more accurate to say machine gun fisticuffs, aka Barrett, joins Cloud, not vice-versa). In short, Ethan read the crib notes of the crib notes of the game.
I like JRPGs and most entries into the FF series, but FFVII was one of the hit-and-miss ones for me. I found the story predictable and didn’t really connect with the characters in any way that made me root for them, to the point I stopped playing soon after the start of the second disc. May need to attempt to play through the game again at some point, but will probably end up playing another one after a while.
Final fantasy is the same story retold in every one of them, more or less. Doesn´t make it bad, but you will quickly figure out what will happen if you know the others. They basicly reuse enemies and certain names (archetypes). The rest is a coming of age story – a change of the norm – kids growing up etc. First one being about how the cycle being broken (the _final_ fantasy), and the next ones being more directly about kids being forcefully pulled out of childhood taking responsibility for their lives.
As much flak as I give the series for the sudden devolution in the systems after FF10 they’ve managed to deliver relatively unique stories for each entry.
Uhhh what are you on? No, I don’t want any. Final Fantasy has radically different stories each time. While there are plenty of similarities, these are similarities present in the genre more than the games themselves. FF1 has nothing to do with FF6. FF2 and FF3 both have the same idea of “lets take random orphans and make them heroes!” but virtually everything else is different. And I’m pretty sure you don’t have a proper child protagonist after those two until like FF10. There have been some series drops in quality since somewhere between FF9ish, but the plots are really… Read more »

If looked would kill, Ethan would have been respawned by now.
I actually never really played Final Fantasy VII (I have it on Steam, but mostly had played Final FF IV, VIII and X (+ X-2) )
I’m actually wondering if the graphics could actually a little too much. I would like to see a remake of VIII (because the Resolution of the overworld map was so ugly)
I 100% agree about a FFVIII remake! I know people did not like that game (for whatever reason), but I thought the mechanics of it and the plot line were really well done!
Meh. FFVIII is…lukewarm. It wasn’t a bad game, but FF6 is more deserving of a fully blown remake than FF8. On the other hand a remake of a game that is already relatively iffy does have a lower chance of being received poorly.

That is the look of a woman who is about to spend the next several hours correcting her significant other.
(that is to say, when the coffin is too full of respawns, he’ll have to respawn someplace else… that or the location is slightly randomized so he’ll have a 50/50 chance with infinite coin-tosses to land on heads)
It seems that Ethan warps to a “safe zone” within a short distance, so the only way to properly kill him would be to put him in a coffin, move him underground but not bury him, wait a week, bury him. Maybe put on a metal box around the thing so Ethan respawns into it instead of to the top of the ground.

You just described _EVERY_ gaming conversation I have had with my wife for the past 30 years. And it’s been both ways. So, no it doesn’t get better.
And she’s played FFXI since it came out in 2002. I know absolutely ZERO about it.
I say this about our relationship: “I am honored and humbled that she chooses to wake up next to me every morning. I am astonished and amazed that I get to wake up next to her every morning, because that means she hasn’t murdered me in my sleep.”

I don’t think EVERYONE should play FFVII. IX has aged way better, and it still needs speedups everywhere.
If we were being honest with ourselves, we’d all agree the only reason any of us really kept playing 9 was because of Vivi. Not that FF9 is terrible, but Vivi made that game.
and only reasons why ff7 was ever hailed so well is due: 1) its first game outside nintendo platforms, 2) its first ff in 3d, 3) its first jrpg to playstation
errrrr…. what? The first jrpg to playstation? are you mad? The reason FF7 was heralded as much as it was, is that for the time it was revolutionary in scope, depth, character development and graphical levels. I think youre forgetting just how old the original is and how astounding it was for its time. However first jrpg on the playstation…. youre so so wrong. FF7 came out in 1997, Suikoden was released for the playstation in 1995 as was Vandal Hearts, both released internationally on the playstation and both excellent JRPG’s. (and they werent even the first JRPG’s on the… Read more »
FF9 was really good. I will say that Vivi is a beautiful child and I am going to protect his little hat until the end of time. Still, got the Mobile version (gift card for my birthday from wary relative) and I found that I used speed up a lot to skip through some stuff. And stealing was still exhausting.
FF6 has aged wonderfully in my opinion, as long as you get that it is not the latest game.

Am I the only one who rolls their eyes a little at people who insist on calling her “Aerith” instead of “Aeris?”
I did not know that. I always wondered why in Kingdom Hearts they suddenly started calling her Aerith. Then again, they also called Squall “Leon”, so I guess I just assumed it was an alternate continuity thing.
Still, it’ll always be Aeris’ Theme for me. Which, now that you’ve reminded me of it, I will now go listen to in a corner, whilst weeping quietly.
I have to say I like Aerith better than Aeris. Remember, the American releases had some pretty interesting name changes in all Squaresoft games. For instance: Jason became Janus and Sarah became Schala in Chrono Trigger, and Tina became Terra in FF6 just to give two game examples.
Tina>Terra if only because of the 50 times I have to explain which Terra I’m referring to.
Didn’t know that about Janus and Schala. I will say that Janus and Schala are much better names.
Japanese doesn’t have a separate character for the “th” sound so they use the same characters for the S sounds when approximating it. Transliteration from English to Japanese can be tricky since they don’t have as many phonemes. No V sound, no words that end with consonants except for N, something part way between R and L, etc.

FF6 was the best. 7 is okay. 8 was alright. 9 and 4 were good. Honestly, the only reason I feel FF7 stands so high up is because it’s the first FF game most peopled played since it was a PS1 semi-launch title, and because of all the spinoff material (Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children for example) fleshes out what they miserably attempted in FF7. I know it’s not their fault completely, as the game was rushed to market in Japan and then rushed even harder for the holiday season in the USA.

I can’t now remember why I liked the series so much when none of the games was capable of holding my interest long enough to grind levels enough to actually finish them. I got my first job mainly to save up enough money to buy a PS3 to play FF vs 13 (now 15), it doesn’t make sense. I still get super strong nostalgia whenever I hear the FF IX opening theme, but never got the hype around VII
you should try ff6, and previous ones … you might find ff 7,8,9,10,12,13 all pale in comparison

I would suggest a potentially lesser know rpg that was not hand holdy and kicked you in the groin until you learned to dodge or give up.

More like he read the crib notes of a couple of the FMV’s in the game.
his description of clouds sword however is spot on.
…I mean…yeah that pretty much sum’s it up.
He should still be writing his Will right about now th-….oh right.
It’d be kinda funny if this is how his girl finds out he has superpowers.
Morbidly funny…
Yeah, she gets angry, hits him a bit too hard, breaks his neck, and stares in shock as he just comes back. “Uh, I can explain?”
And thus she discovered his powers after murdering him.
..and it would be perfectly justified 😉
…And awsome!
… and then she does it again, and again…
Kinky.
That seems to sum up FFVII very well.

Correcting… or burying in a shallow grave…. they’re pretty much the same look you know…
But Ethan just respawns…
Not if he’s buried alive.
this is unknown since ethan has yet to die when buried alive, ie will ethan respawn outside of grave or suffocate again
When there’s no more room in hell…
The Ethans will walk the earth.

I did not know that. I always wondered why in Kingdom Hearts they suddenly started calling her Aerith. Then again, they also called Squall “Leon”, so I guess I just assumed it was an alternate continuity thing.
Still, it’ll always be Aeris’ Theme for me. Which, now that you’ve reminded me of it, I will now go listen to in a corner, whilst weeping quietly.
I just see it as same name, different ways of writing it. Like all the different ways “Michael” is written.
I have to say I like Aerith better than Aeris. Remember, the American releases had some pretty interesting name changes in all Squaresoft games. For instance: Jason became Janus and Sarah became Schala in Chrono Trigger, and Tina became Terra in FF6 just to give two game examples.
