I"ve read your othe🍬r FF7 article and am happy you seem to be captivated with the world and its characters. Due to getting into the games later, and playing a different order, I'd say you are going to get a different experience than OG fans. And thats cool. Its like people that grew up with the Star Wars prequels and then go back (or forward?) and watch 4-6. I think Cloud is one of the most well written characters ever written, largely due to how he processes his trauma and grows due to his allies and enemies. Similarly, the story of FF7 starts as a buncb of eco terrorists sticking it to the man, but morphs into something else. So it makes sense that you are ref💎lecting on your own transitions in character and story. And thats the beauty of FF7!

Would love to see a piece on playing/watching order sin༺ce there is the film sequel, prequel (crisis core), sequel (Dirge of Cerebus), and now the remakes.

It was an odd title. But I think gamers always have iconic, critically acclaimed games that for whatever reason, do not enter your world and ur frien⛦ds and peers dont talk about it.

FF7 Rebirths was probably the hardest I ever worked for a platinum and FF7 is my favorite game of all time. It was frustrating and took me months to do. But I enjoyed it. It felt very earned. Even the mini-games, as tedious as some were, I got a lot of joy 🎃out of, especially chocobo racing. Chasing the platinum let me experience all the game had to offer, and to feel like I conquered it. Gonna to Crisis Core in the next year, and platinum Part 3 when that comes out. But I certainly don't mind that it will be a lil easier lol

Mostly agree. H💃is and Aerith's mysterious knowledge of other timelines adds another layer to their characters and motivations. Sepihiroth's origin is well done and gettimg to see it play out from Zack's perspective is nice is Crisis. Voice acting in more modern entries helps elevate his character as well. Not sure what you mean about Advent Children making no sense. Its story is just as fantastically crazy as any other entry in the compilation. But yes, Sephiroth is great there. I'd say remake trilogy, Crisis, OG ff7, Advent, Kingdom Hearts and other crossovers.

To make the game cover the story they are trying to cove🐬r, which has much more depth than the original in all aspects, it wud take like a decsde to make. So they broke it up. Its essentially sequels.
