There is not much that can be said about this game that fans don’t already know. Final Fantasy VII was a groundbreaking game for the entire gaming industry in graphics, narrative, and in its combat system. The game told the story of the Ex-Soldier who bands together with a terrorist group in effort to save the planet from the evil Sephiroth.

The game is rich with emotional moments for the player as we watch the characters grow and struggle to meet their goals. The game was a landmark in that it was the first in the franchise to kill off a main character. Aeris’s death is by far one of the most famous video game character deaths of all time. Games like these don’t come around very often. Final Fantasy VII’s success is something that Square Enix has been trying to live up to ever since.
