Summary

The best of the best.

The Good

Final Fantasy VII was... awesome. The graphics were good for that time, the backgrounds were detailed, the script and translation were great, the music was MASTERFUL, the characters (Vincent, Sephiroth, Cid) were all very cool, the battles were fun and strategic, and the humor was pulled off perfectly. The CGs are some of the best on PS1 (Chrono Cross might top them), and the story wasn't too shabby itself.

I used to think Chrono Trigger was the greatest RPG... of all time. FFVII, however, has changed my mind. Chrono Trigger, to me, still stands as the best SNES RPG, but FFVII is the greatest PS1 RPG.... Even though Chrono Trigger was remade for PS1... uh... Well, FFVII is, in my opinion, the best RPG the gaming world has to offer.

The Bad

There were slightly too many random battles for my liking, but they all proved necessary to defeating bosses later on. Other than that, I disliked nothing else in FFVII.

The Bottom Line

If you have a PS1 and don't have FFVII, go get it. Now. You won't regret it.
