Overview

Final Fantasy VII is one of the largest and most richly detailed gaming experiences ever created. There are few games that even come close to the impact this game had on the RPG genre. Final Fantasy VII shot the series into commercial success. Being the first of the series for the 32-bit Playstation system, the graphics and cut scenes were state of the art. Top that with an original cast of characters, a engulfing story, and 100+ hours of gameplay - this masterpiece holds a permanent spot in video game history.

The game featured 9 playable characters each with their own set of unique abilities. A new magic/skill system was introduced using the Materia System.

In 2015, Square Enix confirmed long lasting rumours of development for Final Fantasy VII Remake. Three of the core developers returned; Yoshinori Kitase (Producer), Kazushige Nojima (Script) and Tetsuya Nomura (Character Design).
