10/10 best in the series and probably my favorite game. The orb system was awesome and the story was up there with the best. IMO, FF7 was the first rpg to make non gamers play games too. Bring on 13!

I laugh at all the people who loved this game, then turned around and hated it because it overshadowed other games in the series.

Yeah, the other FFs are great too, I can attest to that. But please, shut up.

Thank you. I will delete the comments of anyone who posts anything negative.

Actually maybe FF7 will get a full PS3 remake after FF13 and FF Versus. It makes PERFECT sense when you think about it.

They expect to extend FF13 over a few years with spinoffs. If those spinoffs being worked on are DS, 360 and Wii one at a time, perhaps they will use the lack of producing a "main" FF game to focus as full dev team on a FF7 remake on the PS3.

What do you guys think? Plausable?

I'd agre e with that Dmeister J. Though i'd also agree that there were 20 games better then this on the PS1.

Off the top of my head.

Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Pro Wrestling, Front Mission 3, any of the King of Fighters games, any of the street fighter games, any of the samurai showdown games, Shin Megami games, any of the ROTK games and Civilization 2.

That's gotta be atleast 20 games.

Now c'mon, do you seriously think my last comment was that bad compared to some other people's here? Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed a bunch of games that came out for both the PS1 and the PS2 (I have yet to get myself a PS3), especially games from Konami, Capcom (including Clover Studios), etc.

About saying the exact opposite thing that reviewers and gamers do... I don't know about you, but all I've said is that it was revolutionary for it's time (and I'm sure everyone would agree with me here), I didn't bash the game at all. I mean IT IS the one that made all those other lousy spin-offs possible...!

Anyways, I just want to say that I've played and finished a bunch of RPGs in my life, and after going through the "beautifulness" that Chrono Trigger and Tales of Phantasia were, the story in FF7 is nothing (... or yeah, being emo was a great quality at the time, right?). I've played FF7 when I was a kid, I've enjoyed it pretty much, but like other people here have said, it didn't age well at all compared to all the other great classics that came before it.

GEEZ, does it even really matter which FF is better???
The way I see it, beginning with FFVII right through FFX, I find them all nearly equal in terms of quality and appeal. It's not until FFX-2 where things kinda went downhill. FFXII while good, I can definitely say is not as good as the previous 4 (exclusing X-2) due to the fact I wasn't compelled to move forward with the inclusion of a boring, tedious story that had no emotion whatsoever.

FF is one of the games I DO NOT play for gameplay as the sole reason. I rank story in this series above all else which defines how strongly I enjoy the game. FFVII-FFX had some of gaming's GREATEST stories ever told.

It's not Nintendo fans who are dropping it... it's RPG fans. I'd give this game a 4. (Keep in mind, for me an average game is a 5.)

Aside from the FMVs the graphics were very subpar. People used the FMVs to excuse it though. The story wasn't very good... the pacing was way off... and it was really easy.

Other great games i didn't care much for I can see why people liked them. This one... i'd say you'd be better off playing FF1 for the NES. The story while almost non existent made more sense, and it actually looked better. Plus the main characters are less annoying. They don't speak!

I don't vote though.

The game isn't complete crap. Then again compared to FF4 and FF6, it didn't exactly match the hype that surrounded it. I liked it at the time, but having since replayed it I realize that I've been wearing rose tinted glasses. The game doesn't stand up anymore.

I'm going to try FFVI, .........FFVII is not the best. Its just the 1st next gen model. IT IS A GREAT GAME, but, way to easy. In no way do this game compare to FFII & FFIII in challenge(or in my opinion fun factor). Cloud was immortal with the right gem combo. Way too easy. Both the Ruby & Emerald weapon was not hard enough(and i've read how impossible they were to beat?). But ....again it is a great game

The FF series has made a little over 75 million copies sold. According to GameInformer at least. That makes 3rd top selling series behind Mario and Pokemon.

Not true. The Sims is 3rd. Never forget the Sims. Also, some analysts are predicting that Madden will beat FF in a decade or so, if trends continue.

Oh, and manuel, while the games you listed are great, FF7, even if you didn't like it, does not deserve a 1/10 just for being "overrated". That's just immature.

Awful game.
Very boring, I've tried to play it like 10 times, but it just isn't a good game.
1/10 for being the most overrated game in history.
If you disagree, go play FFVI, Chrono Trigger or DQIV to see what a good RPG is about.

FFIX is totally an awesome game but no matter what, I just can't get over the character designs. I can't relate to them. Still, they're not so bad that it hinders my game experience. The story in IX is well done but I definitely enjoyed FFVII and FFVIII more, as well as FFX. In any case, these 4 are definitely the best ones. I refer to them all as the SQUARE GOLDEN AGE. VII started the craze and then peaked with FFX - after that, the game's became weak for me.

FF VII is a masterpiece. FF IX is a masterpiece. FF VIII is a little weird, but it's still great. But seriously, none of these are as good as FF VI. This game is the ultimate Final Fantasy, if not the ultimate JRPG.

Please Square, make FF XV the way a FF is supposed to be: great.
