>lower random encounters or replace them with the Chrono Cross system...though that would probably require actually having thoughtful level design in the first place

How much did you feel it's impact when it came out? Was it really unlike anything else at the time story and presentation wise?

What was it like to play this when it came out?

What is it about this game in the FF series in particular that managed to crate a swath of autism?

Playing through ff7 for the first time. Haven't gotten past the first disc yet.

This was good, but because everyone loved the opening Midgar section so much it gave Motomu Toriyama the leverage to drag the entire JRPG genre into a shithole of overly linear environments and unnecessarily convoluted storylines and whatever other shit ideas he has ever had.

I am about to play this for the first time. Should I play the ps1 version on crt for the real experience or the ps4 version for x3 speed?

Any games that were secretly about time travel?

This kills score attack/arcade type games

Playing this in the 90s is the peak experience of my lifetime.

>We need to collect the 4 Huge Materias to stop Shinra from using them against Sephiroth and Meteor.

This part of the story always confused me. Also if it wasn't for Shinra the Northern Crater never would've lost its barrier. It seems like just a poorly written lazy attempt at incorporating a "collect the crystals" homage to the earlier FF games. Do these 4 Huge Materia play any role in the story after you collect them? No.

I beat pic related over the course of two weeks.
It took me four tries:
>die in midgar to jobbers
>die to two headed dragon in Disc 2
>dad cleaned the room and popped the power cord out
I also tried the same for IX but I couldn't find Disc 4 so I gave up.

In your opinion, does this game hold up?

Currently playing this
When does it get good?

>game sells over 10 million copies
eBay:
>*RARE!*

I really tried. I heard everyone is calling it a classic and one of the best games ever made.

But I HATE, and I mean DESPISE the battle system. You cannot walk for 15 seconds without some shitty Level 1 enemy attacking you. It always plays the same animation and the same music.

I started three times already but rage quitted after half an hour.

I don´t want to play the remake and wait for the other parts to get released maybe in 2-3 years.

Does this ever stop? How does one play through the game like this?

Why is chocobo breeding so janky in this game? I got a green one and a blue one first try without doing any racing, but both were female. Now I'm trying to get a green male and I've only gotten yellow chocobos 10 times in a row. Did I just get really lucky to get them twice in a row like that or is the rng just bugged?
