Oh my god, I love Final Fantasy VII.

This game's story is so dense. Within 30 hours you feel as though you've watched 5 seasons of an anime. And for as clunky as it can often be, I adore it. Themes of identity, a strong pro-environment message, wrapped in a found family bow.

It's endlessly loveable, and the story still manages to carry weight despite being carried out by characters that you can count the polygons on.

Unfortunately it has random encounters.
