Back in 2007 when this game first came out I was all fanboy'd out on FFVII and this game was like the second coming. Well I am still fanboy'd out on FFVII (might be the best game of all time) and this is pretty good. Does feel dated in a lot of places, has a somewhat corny story, not a lot of substance to it. The missions are repetitive and are basically just filler. The best part is the character development and story chapters and that ends up being a small portion of the game, as it is mostly playing the missions and grinding them. Plus the combat is nothing special either. As a fan of FFVII just playing this game does make me feel giddy and excited. It is a good prequel to a fantastic game.

8.5/10
