Its been 20 years since I first played FFVII in January 2004. I was 11/12 and spent about the same amount of time on this game as I did back then exploring the world up until the end of disc 1. The flood of nostalgia for a lot of these areas, experiencing them in a way I could only imagine, is not really something I can put into words. FFVII has always meant a lot to me as a game and this is no different. How the hell did they churn out 400 songs for this game. How is there a whole song for a dog escort mission, how does it have it's own battle rendition?
FF titles defined what I always wanted in video games during my adolescence, yet each one after playing the PS1 titles, X, X-2, XI, and XII always felt like it was lacking in some department. I love most of the titles that have come out since then, but they were missing something. Trilogy decision aside, this game feels as though it achieves everything I want out of a FF title. I'm really not too sure how I feel about the story itself, but the experience is definitely close to perfection.

Biggest complaint is the removal of FES' ability to set more specific commands for each party member, however the way Theurgy's function offsets that by generating in a similar fashion to how those characters would operate in game. Strange decision to make Akihiko kinda suck to use but that let me use Koromaru more so.
Given how faithful this has been to the original work, we know The Answer DLC is most likely gonna reek.

It was enjoyable pretty much the whole way through I'm surprised the game was slept on when it came out.
