Because I am a living human skeleton, I played FFVII a couple years after graduating from college. In fact, it might be the reason I am still a video games enthusiast to this very day (which seems like approximately 100 years later). I borrowed a friend's PS1 specifically to play it, and I held onto it for so long he just went out and bought another one (thanks Lee!).
So what I am getting at here, is that I remember very little outside of the broadest of strokes of the this classic game - other than the fact that I liked to call Barrett Mr. T, I got stuck in a bad save before the final encounter and had to go back and breed way more chocobos, and back in my day, her name was Aeris.
What does any of this have to do with this much lauded and discussed reimagining of an all time classic? Not very much, to be perfectly honest. Except it is a long way to get to the question - was it always this weird?
