Final Fantasy VII

Concludendo FFVII è un gioco praticamente perfetto: trama profonda e avvincente, gameplay originale e complesso, grafica avanzata e audio coinvolgente, 60 ore minime di gioco. Se un gioco così non merita il massimo, non vedo perché dovrebbe esistere il 10.

When a game gets you excited 10 years after playing it and you still manage to shed a tear when a very important and loved character dies, that means that you found your ideal game. For me Final Fantasy VII is the best game in the world and I'm not only judging it from my point of view. I've done research among RPG fans and there are many Final Fantasy players, Diablo players, Halo 3 players who simply love this title. It's the best RPG ever created, the best game ever created, because it manages to portray human emotions, beautiful characters and a decaying world that's sadly too similar to ours. Simply the best title a team of developers could ever come out with....

Well you might be wondering how long is the game? The game has 3CD's equalling about over 80 hours that is if you get almost everything or 50-60 hours long if you get more than half of everything. But every game has a problem with it, except in FF7's case there isn't any.

There is no doubt in my mind that Final Fantasy VII is the greatest game ever created. Squaresoft has once again created a masterpiece that goes beyond video games. To many, it is a work of art. If you play FF7 to the end, you will agree.

Even though it spawned countless copycats and ushered in the "angsty metrosexual main hero" trend for RPGs, Final Fantasy VII is a game that everyone needs to check out at least once. While some may argue that it's not the best RPG ever made, it definitely ranks up there on the list. If you haven't picked it up yet, buy it.

Only a few games reach such lofty heights. This one is remarkable in most every way, and brilliantly executed.

Fuera de Squaresoft, otros títulos como el Wild Arms de Sony son bastantes recomendables, ahora, si lo que buscáis es una historia densa, aun sin hablar de RPG's, no podemos hacer sino recomendaros Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Finalmente, soltamos una pregunta al aire, ¿El mejor juego de la historia?

Square was out to make a masterpiece, and boy, did they make one.

There seems to be no easy way for me to break all of this game down to a sentence or two…but okay, here goes…This is the current apex in RPG games. In fact it is probably one of the best OVERALL games ever created for ANY system. A game of this magnitude comes along very rarely indeed. I can't wait to see what else Square has planned to top this baby…guess we'll see with Final Fantasy VIII! Until then though, get this game…even if you are not into RPG's, the overall game is brilliant and should not be missed!

FFVII is probably one of the less difficult RPG's out there. Does this take away from the fun? Certainly not! This game is bliss throughout, and only people looking to nitpick so they can bash this game will have a bad experience. The game is about 50 hours long. Overall, the game delivers in every department. If for some godforsaken reason you HAVEN'T played this game, do so. Your world will change.

Ta gra oszałamia jakością wykonania i, przede wszystkim, grywalnością jakiej może jej pozazdrościć nawet Quake 2. Człowiek przyglądający się z boku może powiedzieć "co ty w tym właściwie widzisz...", ale gdy sam zasiądzie do Final Fantasy VII możecie nie dzwonić, nie pisać kartek i nie odwiedzać go przez jakiś miesiąc.

In my opinion, one of the best RPG's of last year was Final Fantasy 7. It has all the elements and mixes of what an RPG should be. Good character development. Comprehensible battle system, and a wonderful story line. This reminds me so much of my SNES glory days, when graphics weren't considered the game. Much like Final Fantasy 7.

Final Fantasy VII is a game that set the standards for all other RPGs to follow. A powerful storyline, excellent characters and a great battle system helped to make VII an instant classic. Although it's several years old by now, VII is a truly epic game that you can never grow sick of.

It's very rare that a game can truly be called a revolution. However, Final Fantasy VII crashed into the gaming scene back in 1997 with the force of a meteor (see what I did there?) and changed everything. Before its release, RPG games were seen as a rather geeky, reclusive genre; far from the mainstream genre you see it as today.

The RPG by which all others are to be measured, FFVII is a cinematic wonder

Never before have technology, playability, and narrative combined as well as in Final Fantasy VII. Never before have technology, playability, and narrative combined as well as in Final Fantasy VII. The culmination of Square Soft's monumental effort is a game that will enrich just as it will entertain.

Om du aldrig tidigare har spelat ett japanskt äventyrsspel, kommer Final Fantasy VII köra över dig. Om du uthärdar (det är svårt i början) kommer du att belönas med så mycket taktiskt spelvärde och handling som PC:n kan erbjuda.

If you've never played a Japanese RPG before, you may want to do that old "try before you buy" thing. But that would be boring. Instead, splash out. Live a little. Trust us on this one. You won't regret it.

Tässä se nyt sitten on. Final Fantasy VII, laajimmaksi ja muuten vain parhaaksi rooliseikkailuksi hehkutettu konsolipeli omalle kotoiselle PC:lle käännettynä.

All of Final Fantasy VII's options provide extremely flexible and interactive gameplay. Materia allows near limitless weapon configurations and the game's intricate story will keep you investigating to see it through; you'll discover that every town and NPC has a tale to tell. With beautiful music, graphics and dynamic gameplay Final Fantasy VII is a testament to the evolution of video games.

This was the last great game in the Final Fantasy series, in my opinion. Never before have I seen a game that was surrounded by so much hype actually deliver everything that was expected of it.

Si Final Fantasy VII a aujourd'hui atteint un certain âge, il reste tout de même un des titres majeurs dans le monde du RPG et même des jeux vidéo en général. Long, prenant et extrêmement complet, il fait encore aujourd'hui figure d'incontournable et se doit de faire partie de votre ludothèque si vous ne le possédez pas encore.

A steaming locomotive comes to a grinding halt within a colossal Shinra Mako Reactor. As Cloud Strife - ex-SOLDIER extraordinaire - flips off the roof of one of its many carriages, he not only marks the beginning of an epic quest for truth and discovery, but sows the seeds of an incredible legacy to follow. I know you know what the deal with Final Fantasy VII is; it is perhaps the most influential RPG ever, and nearly every J-RPG to follow owes a lot to this much-loved gaming masterpiece. At the time of its release, Final Fantasy VII (FF7) broke new grounds with respect to graphics (3D), sound (CD-quality), story (epic) and gameplay (huge game, huge customisation). But does it stand the ravaging test of time? Although Cloud and his fellow eco-warriors may not look as phat as current-day heroes (box-fists and all), Hironobu Sakaguchi's original blockbuster is still one of the finest, most captivating and refined RPG experiences ever.

Si vous ne connaissez pas les jeux de rôles sur console, il y a fort à parier qu'un titre comme Final Fantasy VII ne pourra que vous initier en douceur au genre. Bénéficiant d'une réalisation impeccable et d'une richesse immense, ce titre ne pourra que vous faire chavirer.

The quintessential RPG, Final Fantasy VII was a best-seller the day it hit the shelves. With three disks packed full of FMV, the game boasts the most spectacular effects of its time.

Afgezien van het geluid is de PC-versie van Final Fantasy VII misschien nog wel vetter dan de PlayStation versie. Iedereen die de titel nog niet kent en in het bezit is van een flinke computersetup met 3D-kaart moet deze game absoluut in huis halen en even een weekje vrij nemen om samen met Avalanche de snode plannen van Shinra Inc te dwarsbomen.

Ich habe nie viel von kleinen Knuddelpüppchen im "Zelda"-Stil gehalten. Japanischer Kitsch und für Europäer nur schwer verständliche Märchenerzählungen stießen mir bislang auf wie dem bösen Wolf das "Rotkäppchen-Sushi süß-sauer". Doch bei Final Fantasy 7 schaffen die narrativen Elemente im Verbund mit einem unbezwingbaren Sammeltrieb à la "Diablo" eine besorgniserregende Form von purer Sucht.

Je merkt het, dit is een toptitel die je als spelliefhebber gewoon in je collectie moet hebben. De enkele minpunten die ik heb vernoemd vallen in het niets tegen de gameplay die het spel te bieden heeft. Bovendien zit het grafisch ook wel erg goed.

Endlich wieder ein echtes Rollenspiel! Unter der gewöhnungsbedürftigen Grafik verstecktz sich ein Schwergewicht, das alle nötigen Zutaten bietet: tolle Story (wenn nur die ewiglangen Rückblenden kürzer wären...), stimmige Charaktere und ein Magiesystem mit fast perfektem Mix aus Beherrschbarkeit und Komplexität. Micht nervt zwar leicht, daß man ständig in Zufallskämpfe läuft. Doch die effektgeladenen Schlachten laufen so zügig ab, daß ich die Erfahrungspunkte gerne mitnehme. An die eingeschränkte Speicheroption gewöhnt man sich erstaunlich schnell. Einziger dicker Minuspunkt ist der schwache Sound - wenn schon keine Sprachausgabe, dann bitte ordentliche Effekte und nicht nur billiges Sägezahn-Gequäke à la C64.

FF7 is what I believe to be the best RPG I have ever played in my existence even better than FFX just because its great.

The debate over whether or not Final Fantasy VII is a good game is a spirited one that, like all debates about video games, comes down to personal opinions. I think the story sucks, but the game is excellent. The thing about Final Fantasy VII is, whether you like it or hate it, the merits of the game can always be argued very strongly from either point. If you like this game but you're ashamed to admit it, I hope I gave you enough ammunition to come clean. Final Fantasy VII is a great game, and I'll scream in defense of that statement until my throat is as red as Red XIII.

Still, I recommend it wholeheartedly to fans of Japanese RPG's (perhaps they will be more forgiving than I). However, I only recommend it moderately to everyone else. Final Fantasy VII is hundreds of hours of visually beautiful gameplay, but its frustrating incoherence will make many people cringe and put the game aside before they have even finished.

Squaresoft macht es einem wirklich nicht leicht. Auf der einen Seite reizt Final Fantasy durch seine zunächst unkomfortable Gamepadsteuerung, die nicht immer unproblematische Hardwarekonfiguration und den etwas antiquierten Look PCGemüter. Andererseits gelingt dem Spiel die beinahe perfekte Symbiose von Rollenspiel und Adventure: Eine packende, recht lineare Story wird durch allerlei Entdeckenswertes am Rande atmosphärisch aufgewertet, das Kampfsystem ist schnell erlernt, birgt aber massig strategischen Tiefgang. Wenn Ihnen also eine grundsätzliche Neigung zum japanischen Comicstil innewohnt, sollten Sie sich dieses Mammutwerk nicht entgehen lassen, als Belohnung winken gut und gerne 100 Stunden reiner Spielzeit.

Despite the fact Final Fantasy VII has a great deal of upside, its detractors do have a number of legitimate concerns. The battle system is rather incidental to the game, and the localization does leave a bit to be desired. Additionally, aside from the rich backstory that goes into each, character development is largely restricted to a few characters. Nonetheless, the good does outweigh these shortcomings, and does so convincingly. Any gamer looking for an enjoyable game that is sure to endure in their memory would do well to pick up Final Fantasy VII, because it deservingly owns a prominent place in RPG history.

Still, FF7 deserves credit for trying to push videogames further along the cultural scale even if they do ultimately falter by a narrow margin. When Square Soft announced at SIGGRAH that they were going to push the envelope of computer graphics, they weren't kidding. They accomplished that goal thoroughly, but didn't manage to find an evolution between the typical grammar of games and something else that the mainstream audiences could relate to (something that only a game like Myst has accomplished in recent years). The game does a great job of bringing new visuals to games, but it didn't affect my perception of the world or my emotions to any great extent. If Square Soft wants videogames to be compared equally to other forms of art, then they are going to have to gain that respect by producing a game that is more intellectually and culturally aware and not a game that is essentially a video game screaming for attention and respect.

However, if you can get it running it works perfectly, with almost none of the bug problems that plague most PC software. While more of an adventure game than an RPG, it nonetheless provides a unique and fascinating experience that you can't get from any other PC game.

Jeg er voldsom begejstret for Final Fantasy VII, og har brugt uger på at følge med i den overraskende og spændende historie. Spillere, der er til letfordøjelige rollespil, og tæppetyk stemning vil elske det udover alle grænser.

Final Fantasy VII. What more can be said of this after such a warm reception on the Sony machine? but after the hype and at its PC debut, we have another chance to look at the "Best Game Of All Time."

Wenn Sie japanische Schlagermusik mögen, Monumental-Filme aus dem Land der aufgehenden Sonne jedem Hollywood-Streifen vorziehen und die Steuerung per Maus verachten, liegen Sie bei Final Fantasy 7 richtig. Trotz des vorhandenen Tiefgangs und des reizvollen Gameplays sollten Liebhaber von Might & Magic 6 oder Fallout Vorsicht walten lassen. Die oft quietschbunte Atmosphäre und die mangelhafte Umsetzung könnten weniger experimentierfreudige PC-Rollenspieler schnell nerven. Da es nicht einmal eine Charaktergenerierung gibt, erfordert das Nippon-Epos eine große Umstellung von Ihnen.

While the gameplay may be average, and it has it's flaws, no one can deny that Final Fantasy VII has left it's mark on the genre, setting new standards for RPG graphics and general presentation. Additionally, while it may not be the most spectacular of games, it paved the way for a vast number of hits.
