![]() ![]() This is a fairly straight RPG story in that you don’t have many options to deviate from the story and are given even fewer story-telling options. They do get something of an explanation later on, but their immediate ‘put Cloud in charge!’ reasoning really doesn’t make sense. Cloud also rarely if ever gives any kind of reasoning for why he thinks Sephiroth is trying to kill the world, but the rest of the party just goes along with it. Some of Aeris’ dialogue sounds like it was ripped right from. It’s often-times confusing and not very well done. One of the bigger problems with the story is the translation. While this sounds like it’s exciting and fairly straight-forward, there are a few problems with this. After another harrowing escape from the building Cloud decides that Sephiroth is the bigger threat and manages to convince everyone else of this as well and the party begins chasing the black-caped man around the world. After several blunders and an escape from prison, they find almost everyone at SHINRA has been executed, including the president of the company, by Sephiroth’s hand. Our Heroes barely escape the attempt and raid SHINRA’s headquarters to retrieve their friend who was captured during the attack. Cloud is just along for the ride at first, but after meeting and making friends in the group he decides to stick with them.Īfter AVALANCHE’s second hit on the MAKO reactors, SHINRA takes it personally and moves to wipe out a whole section of the undercity just to get at AVALANCHE. AVALANCHE is hell-bent on bringing down the evil mega corporation called SHINRA by destroying the MAKO reactors around Midgar that AVALANCHE believes is sucking the very life from the planet itself. You start off as Cloud, an ex-SOLDIER who’s gone mercenary and working with a terrorist group called AVALANCHE. Even with the extra games and movies in the Final Fantasy VII compilation I had a hard time following this game and I’ve played it before! While Final Fantasy VII has this wonderfully dark and somewhat cyber-punk storyline going for it, you need a road map and a construction crew to get around the bulk of the plot holes to figure out what really is going on. Just how does it stack up in today’s market as a PSOne Classic on the PSN? Let’s take a look. While I like the story and the combat system, Final Fantasy VII has not aged as well as one would think. This game has many fans, some more rabid than others, and over time it has been placed on a pedestal by most as one of the best RPG’s ever made. I got another taste of it again with its prequel last year. Today I get to review a game I had some fond memories of but haven’t touched in over five years. Earlier this year I got the opportunity to review Suikoden after it was released on the PSN. ![]()
