So really this is a sort of RTTP thread
I didn't actually play FFVII until 2012, and despite needing a few hours to get used to the graphics (this game actually served as the catalyst that caused me to go back and play all the classics I missed out on by being a Nintendo kid in the 90s) I thought the game was fantastic
Fast forward to 2018, and I needed a new Vita game to play on my lunch break and decided to fire up FFVII. I didn't intend to replay it but I got a few hours in and decided to beat the game again
Even though I first played this game when it was 15 years old, and now it's 21 years old, I still think it's pretty easy to go back to, and on the OLED Vita screen the game looks great
It takes a while to understand where areas end and what doorways and pathways you can enter, but after a while it kind of just makes sense
Right now I'm just trying to recruit Yuffie, and I'm about 8 hours in. I think the opening hours are paced really well for a PS1 title, the action and story both move at a brisk pace and the soon as you break out of Midgar you get a nice playable flashback sequence that serves to pull the player into the story. The music is also still best in class
FFVII is often considered to be one of the best games of all time, but when was the last time you played it, and how do you think it held up?
