Game Description
Final Fantasy VII [Greatest Hits] is one of the most iconic and influential video games ever created—a landmark RPG that transformed the genre and defined the PlayStation 1 era. Developed by Square and published by Sony in 1997, this epic adventure follows Cloud Strife, a mercenary drawn into a rebellion against the sinister megacorporation Shinra, whose reckless exploitation of the planet’s lifeforce threatens all existence. As Cloud’s journey unfolds, he becomes entangled in a struggle far greater than himself—one that pits him against the mysterious and unforgettable villain Sephiroth.
With its rich narrative, deep emotional resonance, and cinematic storytelling, Final Fantasy VII pushed the boundaries of what was possible in gaming. Its combination of stunning pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D character models, and full-motion video cutscenes created a visual experience unlike anything seen before on a home console. The game’s revolutionary Materia System gave players unprecedented control over character growth and battle strategy, allowing endless customization and experimentation. Its world—spanning the polluted metropolis of Midgar to vast open landscapes—remains one of the most immersive settings in RPG history.
Universally acclaimed for its storytelling, characters, and soundtrack, Final Fantasy VII is often credited with bringing Japanese role-playing games to mainstream Western audiences.
