Final Fantasy VII


In 1997 gamers saw the first major Final Fantasy title on the PlayStation. It was the end of an era as we said goodbye to the 16-bit graphics of the Super Nintendo and hello to full 3D models that, while considered dated by today's standards, were revolutionary for their time. It was a critical part of a lot of people's childhoods, introducing them not only to the franchise, but to the genre as a whole. The game saw so much success that it spanned a movie, an anime, numerous spin-offs games, prequels, books; -- an entire Compilation that's canon to everyone but the fans, and today we look at the game that started it all.
