The Bottom Line:

"All it's cracked up to be"

After being introduced to the well-known series of games by its first installment on the PS3, I decided to go back in time to play one of the most renowned titles to bear the same Final Fantasy. Stepping backwards in games is something that's extremely tough to do under most circumstances. For example, I couldn't even continue past the fourth Diablo II quest after I started playing it just a few months ago because the gameplay put me to sleep, the story was practically non-existent, and let's face it, the graphics back in the day were downright awful. But Final Fantasy VII made it easy for me. It has a captivating gameplay system that isn't hard to grasp, an amazing cast starring the famous protagonist, Cloud, and a great story to go with it. Also, there is a small decision making dialogue system which is something I've never witnessed in games earlier than BioWare's Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins. Square Enix really did a phenomenal job, and they revolutionized the RPG. I've been so engrossed in this game, and there is no chance that I won't go try out all the Final Fantasy titles that are raved about in the gaming community, except for a small few.
