My #1 all time favorite video game.

I bought the big-box PC version back in 1998. Imagine my surprise when recently I discovered my old save files still worked with this release and the Steam achievements, nearly 30 years in the making, started pouring in. While it's still grindy at times and needs some QoL adjustments like we've seen on console re-releases, FF7 is still worth playing if you're into JRPGs.

Unlike the "remake" that buries a convoluted version of the original story beneath a mountain of mindless fluff, the original game's well crafted plot, likable characters and smooth pacing makes this OG classic shine brighter than ever.
