Item Description

Few openings in gaming hit like the first minutes of Final Fantasy VII: a camera sweeping down through the smog of Midgar, a train screeching into a Mako reactor, and a spiky-haired mercenary leaping down from the train to join a bombing raid. Square's 1997 PlayStation epic announced that console role-playing games had grown up, trading the series' storybook kingdoms for a polluted industrial metropolis, pre-rendered backgrounds dense with detail and full-motion video that made Western players sit up and pay attention. For millions of them, this was the first Japanese RPG they ever finished, and the reason they went looking for more.

Cloud Strife signs on with AVALANCHE, Barret Wallace's band of eco-terrorists fighting the Shinra Electric Power Company as it drains the planet's lifeblood, and the party that forms around him is a cast RPG fans still argue over decades later: Tifa Lockhart, Aerith, Red XIII, Cait Sith, Cid Highwind and optional allies Yuffie and Vincent. Behind it all stands Sephiroth, a legendary soldier turned something far more frightening, whose story is braided through Cloud's own uncertain past. The writing swings from slapstick to real tragedy, and the end of the first disc is still one of the most talked-about moments in the medium.

The Materia system is where the game hooks you for the long haul. Magic, summons and abilities live in orbs slotted into weapons and armor, and linking them in paired slots creates combinations that let you shape every character to your taste. Active Time Battles keep fights moving, Limit Breaks build into spectacular finishers, and the summons were jaw-dropping light shows for 1997. Away from the main quest there is the Gold Saucer amusement park, snowboarding and motorcycle minigames, chocobo breeding and racing, and the brutal optional Weapon bosses waiting for anyone who thinks their party is maxed out.

Nobuo Uematsu's score ties it all together, from the melancholy of Aerith's theme to the choral fury of “One-Winged Angel.” Final Fantasy VII was the series' first PlayStation entry and its first in 3D, and it spawned an entire compilation of films, prequels and the modern Remake project. Playing the original on a PlayStation is the way to experience it as it landed: blocky field models, gorgeous backgrounds, three discs of story and all.

About the game

Final Fantasy VII (note: this is the original Japan-exclusive version) is a role-playing game set in a post-modern, steampunk world where technology and fantasy elements coexist.

The game features turn-based combat with an active time element, a customizable Materia system for abilities, and unique Limit Break attacks for each character. Players explore 3D environments, engage in various mini-games, and uncover a complex plot involving Cloud's mysterious past and a powerful threat to the world. As the story progresses, players gain access to different vehicles, allowing them to explore new areas and uncover additional content.
