Final Fantasy VII Platinum

Why did you choose this product over others?: Such a classic game - still think this is and FF8 is the best game ever made

Final Fantasy VII is now some fourteen years old, and yet it is one of the few titles from the 1990s that I go back to again and again, drawn back always by the fabulous story and characters, not to mention classic JRPG gameplay and awe inspiring attention to detail. For me, few games have the ability to last more than a few years before they start to lose their charm and begin to look and feel dated - none more so than Final Fantasy XII from 2006, which is already ugly and blurry, not to mention self indulgent and annoying. In short, the great majority of games do not age well, and the Final Fantasy series has suffered from declining standards as well. Since FFX Square/Square Enix seem to have produced increasingly poor console games, with FFXIII being the latest case in point. FFVII, however, was released at a time when Square were on a roll, producing brilliant games almost annually. Emotion in a video game can be a toe curling experience at the best of times (Ryo screaming "Noooooo!" in a famous sequence from Shenmue being a prime example in an otherwise brilliant game), but here it is dealt with wonderfully thanks to genuinely likeable characters, brilliant music, and perhaps the greatest video game story ever told. These days, a game without vocal dialogue would be almost unimaginable in a big console or PC title, but it really isn't missed in FFVII: the story unfolds via text dialogue, and it works very, very well. Console games from the 1990s that I can still fully enjoy are few and far between - Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evils 1, 2 and 3, Silent Hill and one or two others. Final fantasy VII, however, has neither become clunky nor graphically dubious with the passage of time. It is still as bright, vibrant and amazing as it was when it was first released. It's an all time classic which anyone picking it up today can still enjoy on many levels.

Andrisang, CEO Yoichi Wada explained during the company's annual shareholder meeting that it would not remake the legendary RPG until it makes a brand new Final Fantasy game that "exceeds the quality" of Final Fantasy VII. Square Enix has not made another game as good as FF7, their words. Put aside the 16 bit graphics for a second and what you have is the complete package. The game features so much with very few parts repeated, unlike most new games that seem to thrive on it. Ranging from combat to breeding racing birds to snowboarding to submarines. In some cases the mini games have more about them than some games recently released featuring, oh I don't know, famous extraterrestrials perhaps? But the main aspect for me is the story. It starts very slow, with a seemingly simple task of blowing up some reactors for an eco group. Then suddenly all goes wrong and the story begins to kick in. This won't happen just once though and you'll develop an understanding of each of the characters warming and then cooling to each one over and over again. Be warned though, this is not a run and gun complete in a few hours game. You will loose your life playing this and after months of enjoying the twists and plot changes you'll complete it, put your controller down and wonder what the hell you'll do with yourself now. Yes the graphics are poor but this was released in 1997. I hope one day Square Enix do make a game that exceeds the quality of FF7 and then goes and makes a remake, but then FF7 is what it is, would it be the same with boosted graphics, more so will they add voice actors? I think if that happens it would not be the same as this bridges the gap between reading a book and immersing your life with that of the words and watching your actions shape the destiny of events. I guess time will tell but either way this is the grandfather that all games aspire to, some may have exceeded it with modern technology but on the level playing field, granddad will run ring around any game, old or new.

Awesome game brings back memories plus quick delivery and good condition 👍

The order did not come on the time expected, in fact it came earlier! I was pleased with that. I'm a huge FF fan, played them growing up, but my discs ended up quite scratched. But this purchase; I purchased it practically new - no scratches at all off this seller! This seller is genuine, the seller will even email you to see if everything is all right with the purchase (did with me anyway) - the seller seems a perfectionist if you ask me, and perfection is what you'll get from this seller :) Nice work!

Let me see...the plot is fantastic, the music is fantastic, the gameplay is fantastic and everything else is also fantastic. Seriously, this game may be old but it is definitely still great to play. It's not one of those games where you need to put it to the side when you finish never to be touched again. You have lots of little choices that make the game so interesting. It's not the typical, watch the fmv sequence and then play a little, watch another fmv sequence and play a little more. You actually control your character more than you'd think you'd be allowed to. Apart from the plot there are little 'side quests' which open the main plot with more depth but you don't have to do them. The game is not easy, (I don't think so) it's challenging enough to keep you interested and the gameplay is not just the same but varies throughout so you get to do different things throughout the plot. I don't know what else to say but basically I love this game to bits and I would seriously recommend it to anyone who's interested in a good plot, good music and a good experience!

the case has arrived broken and dont open correctly. i need a new case

Premier FF en 3D et à sortir en Europe, il aura fallu attendre près de 10 ans pour voir cette série arriver sur notre continent. Ce jeu a même marqué toute une génération de joueurs. La 1ère chose qui frappe est la qualité des graphismes. Juste la scène cinématique d'introduction suffit à nous émerveiller et nous montrer que juste en 1997, on pouvait faire des beaux jeux. La démo technique, reprenant cette même cinématique, présentée à un E3 pour la PS3 est assez proche techniquement de celle-ci (à l'exception des personnages bien plus beaux). Pour en revenir au jeu, il y a seulement les personnages qui sont moches car représentés sous forme de "boudins". Défaut qui sera corrigé dès l'opus suivant. Niveau musique, là encore, Uematsu nous a concocté des morceaux sublimes dont certains resteront à graver dans les annales (musique des boss, le One-Winged-Angel, thème d'Aerith....). De plus, les musiques collent parfaitement avec l'univers du jeu. A propos de l'univers du jeu, déjà avec FF6 (que j'ai découvert sur la PlayStation donc après FF7), on avait droit à un univers semi cyber/punk semi fantasy ; mais là, FF7 tranche radicalement avec les opus précédents en proposant un univers quasiment que cyber/punk. Et rajoutez à ça un univers extrêmement complexe et riche. C'est différent des anciens FF mais ça marche : on accroche et on ne peut plus lâcher la manette une fois le jeu lancé. Squaresoft a gardé ses habitudes de scénario de FF : sauver le monde, mais d'une manière différente à chaque opus. Là encore, on ne s'ennuie pas. De plus, l'histoire est très bien raconté. Et vous rajoutez LE méchant des FF le plus charismatique (le plus "méchant" restant Kefka de FF6) et LE héros de FF qui a la plus grande classe. La durée de vie de jeu est correcte : comptez entre 25 et 30h pour finir le jeu. Niveau quêtes annexes, vous avez de quoi faire : il y en a une multitude. De nombreuses heures de jeu vous attendent en plus du scénario. Enfin, le système de combat avec les matérias est le plus poussé de tous les FF : il y a énormément de possibilité de combinaison de matérias. Vous pouvez donc utiliser plusieurs stratégies différentes. Ce système de combat est l'idée la plus novatrice. Pour les défauts, le jeu a moins de personnages que son prédécesseur : on passe de 14 personnages (dont 2 cachés) à 9 (dont 2 cachés). Pire : pour les invocations, on passe de 28 (32 pour la version GBA) à 16. Dommage. Ensuite, le début du jeu est plutôt long et ennuyeux, ce qui est difficile pour quelqu'un qui y joue la 1ère fois. Une fois Midgar quitté (environ 5-6h de jeu), c'est là qu'on se rend compte de la richesse du jeu et qu'il est difficile d'y décrocher. Enfin, le jeu est trop facile. Rare sont les game-over. Il est même quasiment impossible de perdre 2 fois de suite contre le même boss juste en renouvelant la stratégie de combat. En conclusion, vous aimez les J-RPG et vous avez une PlayStation ? Foncez, vous pouvez acheter ce jeu les yeux fermés. Il s'agit là de l'un des meilleur jeu de la PlayStation et même de toutes les consoles confondues. Un must-have comme on en fait plus de nos jours.

Ho deciso di comprare questo gioco per collezione e sono stato molto soddisfatto di questo venditore. La scatola e i dischi sono davvero in ottime condizioni. Su quest'ultimi non c'è nemmeno un graffio. La scatola si apre e si chiude regolarmente, cosa non da poco dato che questo tipo di custodie sono sempre state molto fragili. Anche i dentini dove poggi i dischi sono tutti lì. Cosa dire, 5 stelle meritate.

Ho acquistato il videogioco FFVII per aggiungerlo alla mia collezione. Il pacco è arrivato nei tempi previsti con un imballo perfetto in modo da proteggerlo da urti durante il trasporto. Prodotto conforme alla descrizione e in più il venditore mi ha anche contattato per chiedere conferma dell'ordine e mostrarmi foto dettagliate del gioco. Ho provato il gioco e funziona perfettamente, i dischi sono praticamente nuovi, in ottime condizioni anche il manuale. Correttissimi e molto gentili. Consigliato.

Nikel arriver à la date prévu.. le seul petit défaut le boîtier casser.. j'ai changer la boîte c etait pour offir

non funziona. il gioco regalo per mio figlio sotto l'albero non funziona si blocca nel caricamento della play station e non riparte anche dopo un'ora.
