Sqauresoft - Final Fantasy VII Review

A ton of people say that this is one of the greateat video games of all time, but it's hard to argue if you have played this game.  Basically, the game revolves around a mercenary named Cloud Strife and the development he goes through during the three disc adventure against the evil Shinra Corporation.  There are many memorable allies that join Cloud in his quest.  Barret, Tifa, Cid, Red XIII, Cait Sith and Aeris are all as important as Cloud in their own ways.  There are also 2 hidden characters that you can "convince" to join your party.  There are magic spells that are used by attaching crystals called "Materia" to your weapons and armor.  It sounds complicated, but it's easy once you get the hang of it.  The fighting is typical turn-based combat, which isn't for everyone, but the enemies are cool so it shouldn't matter all that much.  Overall, I give this game a score of 9.5, but that's just my opinion.  Final Fantasy 7 rocks!
