Il y a une raison si Final Fantasy VII est encore considéré, près de trente ans après sa sortie, comme l'un des plus grands RPG de tous les temps. Ce jeu a marqué toute une génération... et il continue de marquer ceux qui le découvrent aujourd'hui. Son univers est fascinant. Il mélange parfaitement science-fiction, fantasy et écologie dans une aventure qui ne cesse de prendre de l'ampleur. Midgar reste l'une des villes les plus iconiques du jeu vidéo, mais ce n'est que le début d'un voyage inoubliable. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red XIII, Cid... chaque personnage possède une vraie personnalité et une histoire qui donne envie de tous les connaître. Et que dire de Sephiroth ? Encore aujourd'hui, il reste l'un des antagonistes les plus marquants du média. Le système de matérias est une idée de génie. Il offre une liberté incroyable pour construire son équipe et expérimenter des combinaisons toujours plus originales. Enfin, impossible de ne pas parler de la musique. Nobuo Uematsu a composé une bande-son légendaire. Il suffit d'entendre quelques notes pour que les souvenirs reviennent immédiatement. Oui, les graphismes ont vieilli. Mais les émotions, elles, n'ont pas pris une ride. Un monument du RPG. Une aventure intemporelle qui mérite sa réputation et qui restera à jamais gravée dans l'histoire du jeu vidéo.

Final Fantasy VII is a product of its time. For better and for worse This review is pretty useless because the very reasons I don't recommend it ended up being so compelling that it's no longer available in the store. Even so, for the record: This port has a million problems: the awful translation of the original, numerous visual and audio issues due to bringing it into the future, and generally all the technical problems of the PSX version, but worse because the input is incompatible most of the time Square Enix's work in bringing this game to 2013 was so poor that they had to release the 'good' version 13 years later (yeah FYI, they re-realeased FF7, which is the version you can buy rn). I'm glad for those who will be able to enjoy FF7 with a somewhat more playable version than those of us who had to endure this one where, without mods, many segments feel unplayable On the other hand (and this is somewhat cherry-picking), it's a game that relies so heavily on being visually cutting-edge that it has aged horribly: a story that was already present in the anime 10 years earlier, in the manga 20, in the novels 30, and in essays 40; extremely limiting controls and visuals that make it hard to believe it was the best thing about its time, especially considering that this didn't happen to SM64, for example. Most of the positive reviews for this game stem from nostalgia; just take a look and you'll see that most people are really just talking about memories they have of the title and the first time they played it, rather than what you'll actually find in it. Even so, it remains one of the most ambitious works and polishes some of the most interesting systems in the entire franchise to the fullest, with one of the finest game loop in a Final Fantasy Game ever (once you know how to play, for sure); making it a must-play To sum it up, if you like JRPGs, it's a must-have. If you bought this edition, you should already have the new one by default, but if not, ignore this and buy the new one. On the other hand, if you're not interested in JRPG history, save yourself the trouble.

WOW! love the part when he says "This is my seventh final fantasy" and winks at the screen.
You can't buy this version of the game anymore. Oh well.
FFVII is the most fun to watch being played, it has the best design, best fashion, best weapons, best optional bosses, best O.S.T., best NPC's, best mini-games, best starting area, best intro music, best side quests. It also has the best character builds: -Materia. Best character progression and best airship.

best game ever
优秀的作品并不会因为时间而褪色 全程150小时，打了1900场战斗，刷了两套全魔石，全人物99级。 atb战斗系统真的是天才设计，打破了传统回合制僵化的节奏，极大强化了游戏的紧张感。 剧情也不错，打完之后更喜欢蒂法了，这种无时无刻不为他人着想的温柔大姐姐人设太好了。爱丽丝也很有意思，还是个小奸商，看人下菜碟，卖花给不同人卖的价格还不一样。[cube_喜欢] 小游戏很多但却没有喧宾夺主，全成就和全武器魔石技能收集都不需要小游戏，这一点真是吊打重生了。 然后萨菲罗斯打完之后给我的感觉就是一条野狗，没有任何魅力，只能说不愧是宝条的儿子。
I mean, what can I say -- It's Final Fantasy VII, one of the greatest games ever made, although I certainly am tainted by a lot of nostalgia, as the modding scene around this game at Qhimm's forums is what got me really hooked into graphics and 3D programming and the game modding scene back in the early days of 2000, and today I teach programming courses at a university... it's a real shame that SE doesn't allow you to buy this 2013 version anymore, as this works really well with various mod managers, which allow you to play the game with 30 or 60 FPS during the battles, whereas the original game ran only at a depressing 15 FPS in the battles, which is really painful to watch these days. I have replayed this game in 2025 on Linux and it brought back a lot of good memories, especially after SE kind of botched the remake with a weird broken combat system...
