/vr/ - Retro Games

I first played it in 2005 (i was 16) and it blew my mind, it had a simple battle system, a good story and great characters. Cloud's story was definitely the highlight.
I remember playing Ocarina at that time too but it was boring and repetitive af.

Last year I decided to play both of them again and FF7 holds up perfectly in every aspect except the overworld character models. And Ocarina is still a drag, i stopped playing it before even entering the goron mountain (last time, I got to the desert).

The game is COOL as all hell. Running around midgar fighting soldiers and robots with tifa and barret is so badass. The rest of the game feels like a traditional medieval final fantasy except on some more industrialized cities like Junon.

After replaying it, i finally understood why it was so popular with the casuals. It was flashy, had style and was simple to play it.
