love the game, hate the prequels/sequels.

Storyline - It had me gripped all the time whilst I was playing through the game, and I found the more I played, the more I realised how sinister and interesting the story got.
Gameplay - I've always liked the ATB system, and FFVII pulled it off perfectly with the fantastic Materia system making it so much better and interesting.
Soundtrack - What can I say? Some fantastic scores in the soundtrack, and I always enjoyed listening to them even whilst I wasn't playing the game.
It's just an overall really good game, and I love it.
I can't say I hate the actual game, because yes, the storyline and characters were in fact quite innovative. For its time, it was outmatched with any RPG there was out at the time in terms of gameplay.
However, the game slowly lost its shine when the remakes and movie (BTW IMO it portrayed the characters TERRIBLY in AC) started to become common in the franchise thanks to the "All Father" Tetsuya Nomura (curse him and all of his ilk). Now we have 2 prequels, 1 sequel, and they're STILL COMING OUT WITH MORE!!!!!!!!!! :blowtop:
God, what's next, a story about Cloud's Great-great-great-great grandaunt or what?! The oldest chocobo in all of FFVII existence??! =-[
