Ahead of its time gameplay-wise
A good written piece after halfway through
A good written piece after halfway through
For a prequel, this game manages to hold on its own as one of the best RPGs ever. I loved Reunion, but I ADORE this game. While it is a bit dated, it's still worth your time. Emulate it, or get an original copy.
Read my review of the remaster/remake to see my thoughts on the game, as I try to keep the original in mind when I wrote the review:

The only thing I'll say here is that Rick Gomez hard carried this game and it's awful script and the gameplay/mission structure is technically more palatable here since it's on a portable handheld that was meant to be played in short bursts. Plus, I imagine this game looked pretty impressive on the PSP in 2007/2008, where it probably felt like you were playing a PS2 style game on the go. Other than that, you're better off playing the remaster.

i like how its easy to become overpowered very early in this game
this is my first final fantasy game, i went in knowing absolutely nothing and can i just say i love this so much. i havent actually finished it yet (im like halfway i think) but this game is peak if you treat it like a sitcom. just zack, a normal ass dude surrounded by theatre kids that act like stereotypical JRPG characters. the voice acting exemplifies this since they all sound like theyre in a shonen anime lol. gameplay is also fairly easy when you manage your levels properly. i got decimated in genesis' first boss and figured out i was underleveled, so i went and did all the missions, then went back and absolutely cooked him. peak game.
It doesn't have the best gameplay but it has an amazing story if you like the world of final fantasy 7. Great prequel.
