I love Final Fantasy VII and my one regret was that I never had the chance to finish the game before my laptop died on me. My FF 7 CD was not compatible with my new laptop (my mother wouldn't buy me a playstation) so I had no way of finishing the game (which was a real pity as I had gotten to the final stage of the game). That being said, it didn't stop me from loving it and I knew almost everything about game.
Recently I saw the cut scenes from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, a prequel to the original game that was released on the PSP some time last year.
I can only say one word: AMAZING.
How I wished they had released the game on the PS2. The graphics for the cut scenes were that of FF VII Advent Children and the gameplay looked much like that of FF XIII.
And forget Cloud Strife, Zack Fair is now my new hero. (Although Cloud still has a special place in my heart). I've decided that once I start making some money (aka. get a job), I shall buy myself a PS3 and download FF7 which has just been recently available on the Playstation Network. It is amazing how the game that was first released 12 years ago in 1997 is still one of the best RPGs ever made.
How I miss playing the game for hours on end back in high school.
I wouldn't really call myself a hardcore gamer but for FF VII, I think I may just spend that little bit more of my time in the land of Gaia. My inner otaku takes the cake for this one.
