Then you'll probably love it, the game is often over-hyped, but if you go into not expecting it to be the best RPG ever, you'll really like it.

As for what to expect, story-wise it is basically the same as VI with a smaller cast. In fact, all around it feels similar to VI, the two biggest innovations to the gameplay are Limit Breaks and the Materia System, which is similar to the Magicite system except not broken as fuck. It's also pretty linear, that argument that XIII fans give about all FFs being linear until you get the airship really started with VII, there isn't much in the way of exploring for the first few hours(especially Midgar). And music and design are awesome, just like in every other Square FF.

But aside from that the game is really, really good and definitely one of the best entries in the franchise. You'll probably enjoy it, just don't go in thinking it'll be the be-all-and-end-all of retro RPGs.
