I’ve never been a fan of Final Fantasy 7, I wish they’d move on from it. I know it’s not all the same game, but between remakes and spin-offs etc, I feel like there’s been a dozen ff7 related games out there
I think 7 has a much more relevant story that resonates with this cluster of generations though. I’ve never been a fan of it but I appreciated the remake and crisis core was a fun psp game and it was my only psp game.
The story though somehow takes government in bed with corporate greed, the climate change, and how greed and people in power continue to exploit and cause damage. Then they wrap it up in the perfect fantasy allegory that can translate through decades. It’s basically been post-Regan consequences in an escalating nutshell.
Along with that being touted as the best game simply because in 97 it was ground breaking. Like I don’t think if Mikcey mouse would be such a cultural icon if it came out 5 years ago instead of uh… wow damn nearly 100? Woah.
Oh shit yeah eta all that said yeah I really didn’t enjoy the original but found the remake fun and appreciated the plot line of that uh… episode? Season?

And its not even the best FF game!!
I have soft spot for FF8 myself
ff8 was… Something…
It was good, the second half of the game was really “wtf”-inducing for me.
Overall I’m a FFVI fan to the core, 3D era has to be FFIX. Never cared much for FFVII
The graphics were a DRASTIC CHANGE dude! And the mini game was fun! I replayed both during covid and 8 was definitely much more fun.
I hated those cartoony, blocky graphics in 7 so I really liked the graphics for 8. And the music in 8 is really memorable too.
