My first impressions on Final Fantasy VII...

Well..here they are.

 

I was about 7 at my cousins house when I first saw Final Fantasy VII. It look great at the time(1997). I then couldnt find it in store,so I gave up,still liking Final Fantasy VII. For about 5 years,I waited. I didnt go to the stores looking for it. And when I joined Lucasforums, I saw the avatars. And remember I saw a Cloud avatar at another forum,so I put it here. That started my reign of FFVII avatars. About 3 days ago,I asked my dad to to take me to a game store,looking for any Final Fantasy. And there it was,the only Final Fantasy on PS1(dont have PS2). So I bought it,it was dirt cheap(15 bucks).

 

I played it. It's graphics were good..for it's time period(hey,it's 5 years ago). But as I played it,I started to actually enjoy the graphics. I loved Cloud in his few Polygon form moving around,and seeing his spiky hair. And seeing him dressed up as a girl...(You'll find out if you buy it). The combat system is good,but kinda brainless. But still loads of fun. And you have to think when your in the world aspect of FFVII, CG backrounds mostly, as you interact with a 3D eviroment.

 

Story-wise. Kinda hard to get into(It was good for me,I knew the basic story,it was just helping me fill in the story). It's somewhat linear, as you always reach the same destination, although you can have different paths at doing so. And lots of sidequest

 

Sound- Awesome. Music is great. The battle themes get you pumped,and it's wonderful at a certain flower girl's house....

 

I give it so far, a 9/10.

 

Great story, awesome music. I would give it a 10/10, but the graphics are the only problem. If you have 15 bucks, and can do searches, and have PS1 or 2, or a PC for that matter, get it. You'll enjoy it.

 

Heh,groovy...you can add this as a review to your page too. Give credit to me though.

There are two ways to get Knights of the Round. One is to breed chocobos which you only need to capture TWO to get. There is inbreeding but it saves time. The other way is to defeat the underwater Weapon guy. When you defeat him go back to the town next to Midgar and in one of the houses on the top floor the man will give you Master Summon, Master Magic, and Master Command Materia which allows you to cast all spells without all the -4 strength penalties and also only takes up one space.

 

Also, if you go back to where you caught the submarine right before you enter the building where it is held (fight that like 8 armed mech) you will eventually fight a ship with a skull man on it. If you morph him you get an item known as Treasure Book? and you can take that back to the man to get an underwater materia. What that does is allows you to stay underwater when you fight the underwater Weapon (name escapes me) forever instead of having to defeat him in 20 minutes. You can go get your Mastered MAteria. THEN you can go face Ruby Weapon (guy in sand near Casino place). When you defeat him take back the item to the guy and he will give you a GOLD CHOCOBO. Then you can go get the Knights of the Round.

 

If there are ANY questions about materia, or maps, or items let me know and I can tell you all of it. I mastered that game.

 

 

FF7 was the best. Only bad part was that I reached level 100 way to early but I have spent about 600 hours on that game so who cares.

 

FF8 was pretty good. The CGIs are still some of the best. The story line was so so and I did not like the draw system that much. That game was too easy because all I did was master NO CREATURES thing from Diablo and ran through the game because all those battles got annoying. Hated the card game and the Chococo games. Never prevented me from getting every card though.

 

FF9 was great. Great stroyline, great graphics, great everything. Some of the secrets in the game I was like WTF! How am I supposed to figure that out or do that? Still loved it but hate the card game.

 

Tactics was horrible. When I finished the game I was pissed. That was the worst ending possible. What also made me mad was that I didnt know that I could get better characters later on so I built up like 9 guys and had to let go of like 5 of them. GOT ME ROYALLY PISSED! Cloud was cool but still I had to be told to go get him. The game never told me how to get him. The boss was so incredibly hard and when it ended I thought that it was only like half way over because many questions still were not answered. HATED THIS GAME. Only cool thing was the caste type system even though some just plain sucked.

 

Havent played FF10 because I do not own a PS2.

 

Rant over.

 

Have a nice day,
