@TurtleSlayer I get the feeling you're a fair bit younger than me, so how you approach an older game like FFVII will be a lot more different to how I was introduced to it. I was an impressionable kid when FFVII came out and there was nothing else like it at the time. It felt revolutionary. Everything about it was iconic, from the story to the characters to the music to the battle system. And it was all wrapped up in these (for its time) big-budget production values that gave it a real cinematic flair. I still feel the same way about it as I did in '97. I could easily go do a playthrough of it now and still have a blast. But a young person might approach it and think "what the hell is this crap?!". Aspects of it definitely haven't aged well after all, like the randomly-generated battles and the Lego block character models.
If you like JRPGs and you have an open mind when it comes to retro gaming, then definitely give it a try at some point if you can. There's a reason why people still revere it to this day.

I will give it a try if it becomes available on Playstation Plus again. Thank you for your input!
