About

The world has fallen under the dominion of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a sinister corporation that has monopolized the planet's very life force as Mako energy. In the urban megalopolis of Midgar, an anti-Shinra rebel group calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their campaign of resistance.
Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the rebels, unaware that he will be drawn into an epic battle for the fate of the planet, while having to come to terms with his own lost past.

Non so cosa abbiano combinato ma il gioco si presenta con fondali SGRANATI, molto meno definiti rispetto alla versione ps1, in compenso pesa vari GB... Un disastro
I got this game when I was 6 years old and now 29 years later its still my #1
i wish the orphan who designed the parade to be crushed by a train.
Love it
Good game, great story
It's genuinely impressive to see what the developers accomplished with what little technology available in the late '90s. While the visuals and presentation are obviously far behind modern standards, there's an undeniable ambition that still shines through. The story is where the game truly excels. From beginning to end, it keeps you invested, especially the mystery surrounding Cloud's past. I was so eager to uncover the truth that I ended up binging half the game in a single night. Unfortunately, though, the ending didn't live up to the journey and felt underwhelming. Overall, I'd recommend playing the original Final Fantasy VII today for its story alone. However, as soon as Final Fantasy VII Revelation comes out, the Remake Trilogy is going to become the definitive way to experience this story. And at that point, the original will be appreciated more as an important piece of gaming history than as the version new players should choose.

I finally got around to finishing the original FF7 yesterday after putting it off for years,as of writing this the third part of the remake trilogy was reaveled in summer game fest 2026 and will be released next year(spring 2027) so i wanted to refresh my mind on the original story due to me having zero memories from the last time i played it as a teenager(i had a lot of time back in highschool) My weird journey with this game is that I actually played the PS4 port first back when i was a teenager, then went through the Remake projects(both 2020's remake and 2024's rebirth) before finally committing to the original PC version. I figured that since I already knew the story and most of the big moments from both the og and the remake, the original probably wouldn't hit the same way. I was wrong. What surprised me most was how much more I appreciated the remakes after playing the original. Seeing where everything started gave me a whole new respect for the amount of love and care that went into Remake and Rebirth. At the same time, it reminded me why FF7 became such a huge deal in the first place. The biggest thing that stood out to me was the pacing. The game just keeps moving in an insanly fast. You're always finding new places, meeting new party members, getting new story developments, or stumbling into something else to do. Even by today's standards, it never really felt like it was wasting my time. The cast absolutely lives up to the hype. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, Cid, and Vincent all ended up being way more memorable than I expected. Even knowing where their stories were headed, I still found myself getting attached to them. The Materia system is also just as good as everyone says. It's easy enough to understand, but there's still enough depth that you can spend hours messing around with different setups. For the PC version, I can't recommend 7th Heaven enough(which is also the reason i don't show any acheievments or hours on the new port). If you're thinking about playing FF7 today, seriously, install it. Better models, visual upgrades, improved music options, and a bunch of quality-of-life changes,even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ voice acting) make the game way easier to jump back into in 2026 without losing what makes it special. It honestly became my favorite way to play the game. Of course, some parts have aged. The character models can look pretty goofy, the translation isn't perfect, and there are moments where the game just expects you to figure things out yourself. But none of that stopped me from getting completely hooked,some characthers don't really get thier time to shine or even worst don't get enough of it(vincent is the biggest example of this you only get a small part of what should be his back story after getting his ultimate weapon,there is also cid who's entire characther is bc"i want to go to space and and my wife blew it and i'm grumpy about it",non of it is as bad as cait sith who straight up betraies the group for shinra then blackmails them about marlene and areith mom and by the time the temple of aincents section ends they just forget about it and contiue as noting has happened,noting notable happens with cait sith for the rest of the game after,now compare all 3 of those characthers to yuffie alone who gets a full continent size side quest of her,explaining her backstory showing us her homeland wutai and all of that for one characther out of the party that can be dissmised altogather,sad that not everyone can get this treatment and you can see why the remakes made the vast improvment to some of those characthers that they made). I would also like to mention sepiroth for a moment and how memroble he ends up being in this game whlie having almost zero screen time in it his precence alone is felt trough the entire game and he show zero interest in the party now compare him to his remake counter part who has seen the fate of his original counter part and puts much more empathsis on cloud and the gang as a ressult,none of them is really better,i have seen comments about it onlline they are both the same characther or at least two diffrent versions of him,the diffrence is that one saw the mistakes the other made and activly using that for a chance to win a 2nd round,sepirtoh is just great villan man.... After playing the PS4 version, the remakes, and now the PC version with 7th Heaven, I finally get why people are still talking about this game almost 30 years later. I went in expecting to appreciate it as an important piece of gaming history. I came out wondering if it might actually deserve all the praise it's been getting since 1997. Recommended 9.5/10 All the issues i listed and ruby and ultimate weapon side quests affected the score ♥♥♥♥ ultimate and ruby weapons.
It's probably around 20 years since I last played this game, and it's still amazing. :)
un jeu incontournable (rien à voir avec le Remake). Ce jeu est à faire au moins une fois et le Remake est à éviter (selon moi).
