I lived in 1997. I played this in KB Toys. You faggots will never. Never, ever, know how mind blowing it was. It was the most amazing game any of us had ever seen. The graphics and game might seem dated now, but at the time it felt like the moon landing.

There's lots more to talk about than just the graphics. The game doesn't get enough credit for its supporting characters. Also has the best incarnation of Cid around.

everyone has good childhood memories of shit games

Well this is a weird bait. Are you implying you're the only one here who played FF7 the year it came out ? Do you think you're fucking Methuselah ?

I don't know why you're implying that.
Hell it's FF7, it's not some obscure game, plenty of people played it on release day or earlier at some public showing.

In fact, where i live it was even more of a cultural phenomenon because unlike NA where people grew up with nintendo hardware, where i lived people grew up with Amiga and C64.
And a lot of people immediately switched to PSX and continued to go down the sony line from there.

This meant that people very quickly started playing tons of JRPGs and JRPGs players were far from being today weeb rejects crawling into a corner hugging their dakimakura, where i lived JRPGs were -the- main genre you played if you owned a console, it was absolutely the main thing on PSX, by far, being into JRPGs meant you were the average normalfag, the only more normalfag thing to be into was sports games.

So FF7 was huge, immensely huge, it was a generation defining game, saying that you played FF7 early on meant nothing, it was like saying that you drank water every day.

Don't just assume everyone here is either underage, and/or a nintendrone, you might be correct for a big chunk of the regulars here as the old Holla Forumstards die out or leave, but i'd say the vast majority of the board did play FF7 when it was released, it's nothing special to admit.

I remember beating it. I was so excited I had to run out of my house and tell someone about it.

Who did you tell

Family members because I was pretty young 9 or 10.

Manly Cloud is still my all time favourite JRPG protagonist.
Classic Omnislash is still the best super attack of all time.
Fuck, I still remember all fucking summons and unique materia quests.

That game was truly era-defining.

a) He was clearly addressing majority of Holla Forums's population, that is younger than the game in question.
Funny thing is you can be younger than FF7 and still not be underage anymore.

b) You just supported and expanded his point, good job

Doesn't the game show that Cloud isn't as strong and mature as he is initially portrayed?
