When I bought a copy of The Secret, everything changed in my life. Final Fantasy VII Since 1997, the loss of those discs has haunted my life. I am enjoying much of the 2020. RemakeThe original experience is something that I will never forget. Every year, I try to play through it again at least once. Other times, I’ll just jump into a random save file I was working my way through at some point. It should be available on any computer that I have that can run it.
The remaster (not Remake) has made the experience much smoother; and it’s always fun to occasionally mess around with mods that tweak character models or apply AI upscaled backgrounds to clean up the image.
The story, the characters, the landmark soundtrack with gorgeous compositions and tear-jerking melodies surpass the limitations of the rather humdrum sounds the midi-controlled sequencer on the PSX produced, it culminates into not just one of my favorite video games of all time, it’s one of my favorite media experiences, period.

Final Fantasy VIIThe epic story of identity is embodied in the original version of. Friendship, love, and struggle despite seemingly insurmountable odds against seemingly insurmountable foes. It is a joy to be able to get lost in it, just as I did when I was young. Its world, with blocky polygonal models might seem primordial by today’s standards, but to me its graphical limitations are an abstract that paints a bigger picture in my head—one that no amount of modern, hyper powerful game engines with all the bells and whistles will ever be able to touch.
Aeris, you were correct. It was the only way.
